I really like Julia's step sequence and she always scores well on them....even outside of Russia and especially in the free skate. Gracie has the jumps IF executed but Julia has amazing consistency. True, lower scores per jump but way more consistent. Lipnitskaia and Gracie to me is a good battle. Sorry though I'll always tip to Julia do to her IMHO superior steps and spins. Gracie would have to go pretty clean in BOTH programs to win I think. We will see in a few weeks. I'm pretty excited about Sochi!!!!!!!I don´t know, in this sp I prefer Gracie´s but probably Gracie can win over Julia, she has bigger 3-3 with a true lutz, very good spins, Julia´s spins are better but Gracie´s are good, both step seq are a little mediocres. May be after Sochi Gracie can get better scores, because is obvious that right now Russians are trying prop up to Julia and Adelina.
