Vast difference between competing in the preliminaries and the main stage. Asia may not be a combatant but she's accustomed to acting as support in combat situations. And Ravel is a combatant although her main role is as the strategist and tactician of Issei's team. Elmenhilde was trained and competed in the preliminaries.

Again having Ingvild start competing in the MAIN STAGE of the tournament when she only just awakened from a 100 year coma and has no combat experience at all doesn't make sense no matter how much training you decide to give her.
