seems like the competition is stiff for the ladies,
with elizaveta, polina agafonova, christina gao, felicica zhang, yretha silete, yukiko fujiasawa, kexin zhang,
yukiko and polina fighting to get in to the final, and elizavetha, christina, kexin and yretha fighting to stay in.
Anna Ovcharova may be replacing Polina Agafonova here. I've heard that if she is better by then, she will attend the last 2 GP events. But she is a strong skater as well so it really doesn't lighten the field any if she does skate here, in fact it may make it even deeper as Anna has shown us last season that when she is "on" she is tough to beat.
why they didnt give a second grand prix to agafanova!? she didnt make that bad in the previous gp and she medaled at worlds last year, how she wil gain experience??
i expect the 3 russian girls of sotnikova, tutkatmesheva and shelelpen to get into the final with a possiblity of 3-4 u.s. girls in maybe 5 and probably 1 japanese lady.
Because she lost a chance to qualify to the final and other girls still have it... She still may get the second spot, but only if Anna will miss JGP. And even if Anna will not compete, there's still Kristina Zaseeva who can get the second spot if she will do well in Sheffield
I spoke with a friend of me, who is in Dresden.
Liza did 3Lz-3T, 3Lo and 2A. Jumps and Spins were all very good. My friend reported that she was the clear winner and that she really rocked the house!
Christina fell on her 3F. So no combo. The rest was good.
