For comparison to the last one, here is Leonova in the short program at 2007 Junior Worlds.

She looks really different with the long hair. Love her skating though :agree:

Ah ok...I had a funny suspicion but I knew Leonova had a specific hairstyle and this girl did not have it, but the facial features looked sort of similar (pictures are truly too small to tell, though). Thanks for the confirmation.
