Now that I think about it, has CoC had four ladies withdraw in just a week??
I might have forgotten the situation the past previous years, but man there's A LOT of withdrawals this year
I thought RusFed was smart and paired up the top 6 girls to spread out the assignments. Otherwise we could’ve had an event with Alina, Anna, Sasha and Rika which would almost automatically knock one out from qualifying from the final.
You have one call NHK ... Rika, Alina anda Alena ... with the one silver of Rika and Alina in a japonese field ... everything is possible... I think RF paired alina with alena to protect alina because at that time she didn't have 3A or a 4 ... and alina got lucky because with young you don't have a second assigment to compete to the final, Braddie fail to the podium in Canada, Tuk in America, Medvedva didn't get to the podium in Canada ...even if she get a bronze in NHK .. she will get to the final
