As expected, STEPANOVA / BUKIN punch their ticket to the GPF here, but did not supplant HUBBELL / DONOHUE at the top of the list because S/B's stumbles in the RD pattern took their score way down in that segment. In the absence of CHOCK / BATES, CARRERA / PONOMARENKO won a GP medal in their very first season on the GP.

TARASOVA / MOROZOV not only make the GPF but climb right to the top of the list. DELLA MONICA / GUARISE increase the GPFinalists to 4.
With 22 points, PAVLIUCHENKO / KHODYKIN could be #6 or the first alternate, depending how IDF shapes up. At IDF, there is JAMES / CIPRES waiting to claim a top spot, then BOIKOVA / KOZLOVSKI with 9 points and 3 other teams with 7 points.

La Zagitova takes top billing for the GPF over Miyahara and Tuktamysheva. Samodurova is on the bubble with Sakamoto at 24 points, but Sakamoto has the higher total points scored. Whether or not either of S and S makes the final depends on the outcome of IDF, where Kihira, Medvedeva, Miahara, Konstantinova and Tennell slug it out.
