I really like Tsurskaya, Tuktamysheva & Konstantinova too though. Ksenia Stolbova (pairs) . I also have a soft spot for Alena Leonova.
I could very well be a fan of Sotskova as she has great lines, and technique but her programs are zzzzzzz and she's rather slow. I would like to see more connection to the music too but she has certain qualities that the vast majority of Russian ladies lack.
Favourite junior: Sofia Samodurova ... not a fan of new jumping beans of Eteri so far.
Retired ones: Maria Butyrskaya, Irina Slutskaya, Anjelika Krylova (Ice Dance), Jana Khokhlova (Ice Dance), Ekaterina Gordeeva (pairs, and later on as a pro).
