Worlds 2019 Ladies 7-10

If RUS and JPN fill the top 6, who will fill out the top 10?

I would put it out there that RUS and JPN will be the top 5 but not the top 6. One of the Russian ladies always bombs, and one of the Japanese ladies often will bomb. I actually predict that one of the six ladies from JPN/RUS will not even make the top 10.

I also think at least one of the RUS or JPN ladies will finish outside the top 6, and I think it may be Zagitova. Based on Russian Natls and Euros, another dud free skate from her seems a distinct possibility. Plus she has the baggage to overcome of having bombed at Worlds last year. I also wonder if having Medvedeva there will psych her out a bit.

With Worlds in Japan, my anticipation is that we will see season's-best performances from the majority of the Japanese skaters. But, Satoko still could get sunk by URs, even if she lands everything.

Bradie and Tursy have the potential to make it to the top 5 if one of the favorites bombs. I am overly optimistic about Eunsoo. She may not make the top 5.
