The GP assignments do make me kind of sad. Evgenia really got a difficult path. If anyone else had to go against Sasha (twice) and Rika too, their highest possible placements would likely be 3+2 as well. If Zhenya got different assignments, it would be more likely she could get 2+2 or win an assignment. At least she will get huge scores on home ice, which will help if it comes down to tie breakers.
Well, missing GPF is better than going and coming in 5th or 6th right? Zhenya will always be golden in my eyes whatever happens though. I love that this is going to be her 5th senior season. We Stan a long career!
Her assignments also give me some headache but I'm okay with the possibility of her not making the final. I just want her to skate as well as possible, everything else is basically up to what the others do. If it's enough for GPF that's even better! She already set a pretty good SB but there's still room for a higher score, that's what I'm hoping for.
