We've seen most of the ladies skate so far this season, so what are your guesses with three months until the Olympics?
RUS - Medvedeva Zagitova Tsurskaya
USA - Nagasu Wagner Hicks -- but really, who knows? They (including Chen and Bell) are all about even at this point. If Tennell can impress at Skate America like she did in the early season, she can throw her name in too, maybe even as a favorite
JPN - Higuchi Mihara
CAN - Osmond Daleman Chartrand. Meagan Duhamel could probably easily earn the 3rd spot, though. All joking aside, Alaine probably has a big PCS boost at Nationals over any other challengers and that'll help her if she continues with the major jump issues.
ITA- Kostner and Rodeghiero? She has yet to skate this year but Russo isn't competitive and there's no one else really pushing. Roberta was scheduled to skate at a Challenger this weekend but she is off that roster too, so who knows.
KOR - Da Bin Choi and? So Youn Park has not done herself any favors so far. Eunsoo Lim is too young, as are the other two top juniors. Maybe between So-hyun An and Hanul Kim.
KAZ- Tursynbaeva and Mambekova - do you think she will be sent? They've sent Rakimgaliev twice with about as much credential-wise as she has, so it's probably likely.
CHN- Xiangning Li
BEL - Loena Hendrickx
SVK - Nicole Rajicova
FRA - I'll go with Lecaveliver but that LP
.... I think it'll be close with Meite either way
GER - Nicole Schott
HUN - Ivett Toth if she's healthy. If not, Fruzsina Medgeysi has the minimums if Hungary isn't too tough requirements-wise
LAT- This one is interesting. Kuchvalska is in *awful* shape so far this season and if that continues Diana Nikitina should easily earn the spot
AUS - Kailani Craine Edited per @Marco 's post below
SWE - With Helgesson retired, it's Matilda Algotsson's spot as long as the Swedish Olympic Committee isn't crazy
SUI - Alexia Paganini
BRA - Isadora Williams
FIN - Viveca Lindfors earned the spot but a toss-up between her and Emmi Peltonen. Both are wildly inconsistent
UKR- Anna Knychenkova
RUS - Medvedeva Zagitova Tsurskaya
