They have decent jumps, but I meant rather Tsurskaya's or Vivian Le's jumps height level. HUGE.
Team Russia - Promising Young Skaters

Tsurskaya's jumps may be huge due to her size. She is one of the tallest ladies in the field. Vivian Le's jumps are nowhere as huge as Tsurskaya. In fact, I don't think there are many ladies in seniors and juniors that has her size of jumps, so it may be asking too much that Russia is hiding one on novice level.

I'm just asking if you maybe know some specific younger Russian female skater with HUGE jumps, like this one:

That one is indeed impressive. Have you seen her skating this season though?

Why such high jumps are needed? This is not good. The second triple jump will get UR.
too much underrotations, dislike the hammer lutzes, reminds me of Caroline Zhang. :noshake:

Jesus Christ almighty. 
I don't care about Vivian Le or Polina Tsurskaya or their height/technical problems/careers, names of their cousins-in-law or their favourite colours. I brought them up for comparison only, when you mentioned those other girls.
I'm just curious if there are Russian girls with huge jumps like that in novice/junior ranks atm., that's all. Is it really so hard to answer the simple question or just ignore it? :confused2:

Apparently her name is Lana and not Yana but in any case this team will skate at the NRW Trophy. Shevchenko/Eremenko will be there also.

Buga/Pokhilyuk will be very busy team in early November because soon after NRW Trophy they will skate at the Volvo Open Cup.

Nicely done by a new pair. She was a single skater until this season. She is born in 2002 and he is born in 1999. They are coached by Alexei Sokolov who is the coach of Ustimkina/Volodin among others.

Today Alena Kanysheva won competitions on prises of Moscow Federation (Junior), score 168.47 - good for 11 years od girl. She has all 5 triples, 3Lz+3T and 3F+1Lo+3S combos.
She also was 4th at Panin Memorial (Junior), 172.13.
Thanks :agree: Go, Alyona!
I see that progress cant stop. For 11yo so brilliant result. This is very good. But still, when they will grow they will have same jumps like others not so talented skaters. Rika Kihira from Japan already jumping 3A and 3A+3T at practice. But why russians just stand where they are? Why nobody training quad jumps and also 3axel? I can call this like wasting talents. Just like that. It makes me sad. 
while busy updateing whose who in the russian junior girls scene, I totally missed the junior boys
I had to find out who Artur Danilyan who skated in the EX at CoR, turns out he has won the third russian cup and 3rd at the first russian cup, he has qualified to the junior nationals. He is only 12 years old and turns 13 in December 17 - is he eligible for JGP next season then ?
Arturs SP at the 3rd russian cup
very good skating skills, posture, spins and jump flows - a little Javier Fernandez lookalike

Yes, he is. He will be 13 at 206 Dec 17, i.e. before 01 Jul 2017.
great !!! found Artur Danilyan's EX at Rostelecom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5tdH8aTNU8
no other russian junior has his skating skills, posture, flexibility and fluid textbook jumps.
at first I thought he's a Mishin student, but then the choreography and his skating skills was a giveaway...
