Sasha said before in an interview that one of the reasons she wanted to go to Eteri was that Zhenya was training there. I don‘t remember which one it was but it was quoted here on Goldenskate. Sounds like Zhenya was kind of a mentor for her.
And I might be mistaken due to language barriers but for me the word idol in the context of figure skating doesn‘t necessarily imply favorite skater. For me it actually is mostly about human qualities. It’s like a role model, someone you look up to. If I look up to a skater, I do it more because of how the person behaves and thinks and how they handle different situations and hardships rather than only because of what they do on the ice. But we probably just have different definitions on that.
As for GP assignments. I think Sasha has great ones. She‘ll be loved in Russia and they will cheer her on. And though she will face Rika before the final, I think this can be good for her to assess the competition, learn who she is up against.
And btw here is Sasha with Shoma doing side by side cantilevers! Cool. I‘m waiting for side by side 4F
