Do you mean Lipnitskaia and Pogorilaya? Neither of whom have any major senior international experience?
If Russia holds onto three spots, Leonova's going to the Olympics. The Russian Fed won't risk sending three mostly inexperienced skaters to represent the country on home ice. Tukt and Sotnikova are probably going to beat Leonova, yes, as they've done all season. But she was sent to Worlds for a reason.
Lipnistkaia and Pogorilaya aren't inexperienced. They have done JGP and Junior Worlds and Lipnitskaia has done GP as well. They know very well how an international competition feels like. And they are easily going to beat Leonova next season. She's done.
