Veronika Zhilina, born 2008, Arkhangelsk.

Trained by mother, started skating at 1 year 8 months. :biggrin: Competing against 6-7yo girls, in the future mom thinks about sending her to Sankt Petersburg and pairs skating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xHzQezCVAE

At 5 she had axel in combination and was able to make 5 consecutive jumps:

I'm curious about Fedichkina, Mikhailova, Mitrofanova, and Solovyeva, who are potentially debuting on the JGP but are less hyped than someone like Tsurskaya, who I've already watched many times. Obviously I can see where most of them placed at Russian Nationals last year versus skaters I know more about (although it doesn't look like Solovyeva was at Nationals last year??). Can anyone comment more about them? Links to favorite/best programs etc? Thanks!

Tsurskaya is "someone like Radionova", who was well-known before international debut because her high results (at 2011/12 season Radionova was 5th at Senior Nationals and 3rd at Junior Nationals).

2014/2015 Season Best of newcomers (at Russian competitions).

Alisa Fedichkina (14 Feb 2002) 175.13 SP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PcypjxcPbI FS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22fIE7eLfG4

These scores can not be directly compared with international, but are usable to compare skaters.
