Hmm not sure why you dislike Radionova that much. Yes, she's not the classical artistic skater. People have different personality. Just because you don't have the Michelle Kwan or Katie Witt or Oksana Baiul feminity does not mean they are not good skaters. Sure, Radionova is rather unpolished, showy even. She simply depends on a different presentation type. Just like Irina Slutskaya who will never be the lovely ice princessy sort, she and Radionova simply use their exuberance and big personality to connect with the audience. In this sense, the CoP replacement of the 6.0 scoring helped allow those skaters who fall outside the princessy elegance mould to shine.
I personally think Radionova is amazing, not sure why you say she's not elegant and what do you mean by showy?
