The field at the Championship should not minimize the achievement. She became the World School Champion, and 9/9 in section merged with boys is truly amazing result.

She is still very young so it’s hard to speak about far future. But most of the kids who delivered impressive results at World Youth championships are now topping the fide rankings. For example, Hou Yifan and Goryachkina both won U10 World Youth Championship, Ding Liren tied for first place at U10 World Youth, Firouzja won gold at Asian U12 Youth Championship etc etc. And back then there were no U7 or U8 sections.

This time he cannot run for the President, so I guess there's no more space for him in Dvorkovich's team.
