Julia has the best momentum out of all Russian girls at the moment. I expect her to keep up with it. Very bright season awaiting for her, I am sure. :yay:
I hope Anna and Liza will have stronger programs this seasons. Not so optimistic about Anna and Liza, though, since Anna might not be paid enough attention from the Fed and Liza is still recovering.
As for Sonitkova, I hope Tarasova will not give her any thing like Christina program ever again. And her costumes except for the Olympics! Oh my god! almost killed me.
I like Radionova very much, but she is still junior-ish. Maybe next season for her?
I fear that if Liza doesn't have strong year (which stinks since she is recovering from a late season injury) will get left behind with all of the good skaters that Russia has right now with Anna, Julia, Elena and Adelina and the good ones coming up (too many to name) that she'll get left behind to the B competitions.
Agree on Sonitkova, her costumes outside of the Olympics were ugly and distasteful. One thing that I like about Lipnitskaia is that her 'packaging' is age-appropriate, but that probably comes from (at least what I heard in a performance) that she and her mother help design her costumes.
