Among the many incredible Russian ladies out there, who would be in your ideal Olympic team? And who would you think will make the team when (if?) the Olympics come? I know these are very, very early predictions but they are interesting (at least to me) nonetheless.
My ideal team: Anna S. Alyona K. Sasha T.
As much as I love some of the other prospects, I really would love the 3A make the Olympic team together and see who would come on top at the biggest stage.
The possible team: Anna S. Kamila V. Sasha T.
As of now, they seem to me the better prospects as we really don't know how Alyona is recovering and how her 3A is going. Of course, if Alyona is back at her best (which I truly hope) her 3A would make a strong arguments for her, as it would be much needed in the SP of the team event. I don't see an entire Eteri team for the Olympics (it didn't happen in 2018, I don't think it will happen in 2022). I also don't see the "older" skaters (such as Liza or Zhenya) making the team.
Anyway, much health and best of luck to all the ladies. It will be a bloodbath and, whoever will make the team, I already know that I will feel bad for at least a couple of ladies left at home.
