I agree: I'm an Adelina fan, but it's evident that she's the best Russian lady at the moment, for me. I saw her at Euros, and I can tell you that there's no comparison between her SS and Liza's, and in the last big competitions she has been a lot more consistent than Liza (Euros, Adelina two good programs, only one mistake, Liza two mistakes in the SP, excellent FS; worlds, Adelina quite good SP and a couple of mistakes in the FS, Liza disastrous SP again, a couple of mistakes in the FS) and her scores have been a lot better than Julia's even with the mistakes; the only other girl that is as good as Adelina at the moment is Radionova.
Radionova should not be in this topic as she is ineligible even for Olympics
other than you call flapping arms and always smiling as better, Radionova is not better than the three nor are her tiny jumps.
imo though this is unwise of the Fed to send Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva
as they should also invest heavily on Julia
this list is not yet final
I think final announcement Gorshkov will include Julia. Tuk will probably not go as Mishin might be against another burnout
