I see in her the next Yu-Na (emotional thought if my Goddess retires after 2010) And we all will have to learn the spelling of her surname :think:

I was really impressed watching this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBCYYSGvWD0 Do you know it already? Obviously, since she's only 13 (and 12 in that FS), she has not a particular style yet, anyway she's already dramatic and powerful in a "russian" way. I must say I would be glad if she becomes lyrical and soft rather than "russian". But it's a matter of taste.

Very impressive. Finally some hope for Russia. She looks very much like Elena G. a few years ago, but has much better technique.

I hadn't seen this, so thanks very much for posting it.
She really is remarkable.As you suggest, she hasn't really developed her own style yet, but I think there's promise there of all kinds of things - elegance and power and individuality as well as her excellent technique.
Of course, as with all these very young girls, so much depends on how her body develops and how she adapts to this.

Super starlet! Nice to see Russia bringing up some potential ladies. Her movements are quick and with the music. My only drawback is that those arms are too busy and they take away from the feet. What is she entered in internationally this year? Juniors or Seniors?
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva placed 2nd in Senior Ladies (Dec. 2008) and 2nd in Junior Ladies (late Jan. 2009) at the two Russian Nationals in 2008-09. Her birthday is December 17, 1996, so she will be age-eligible for the JGP/Jr. Worlds in the 2010-11 season.

Thank you for posting the link, Meli_Huber.
Interesting! It looks though that Andrei still spends more time watching Zhenya Plushenko's old tapes than working with Tom Dickson on a new choreo. IMHO.
She's amazing! Incredible talent, great skating skills! Can't believe she's only 12 year old! If she can keep up like this, she'll be Russia's best bet for an OGM at Sochi.
So that program is choreographed by Tom Dickson? I'm less impressed. Maybe it looks better live, but just watch it from my computer, he seems to be SO slow and both of the step sequences are kinda broken, there's little flow between the elements.
I don't know who's choreod that program. Just shared my personal observations with the rest.

Poor Lutai - Dickson has done nothing to break that Russian habit of Jumps and Flapping Arms. Of course that old warhorse music demands such treatment. It kind of reinforces my belief that all Russian male skaters skate the same way.
They don't have a Chipeur and Chan; a Weir and Lysacek; a Preaubert and Joubert; a Verner and Brezina or a Kozuka and a Takahashi. All Russian Men seem to skate in the same style. Sell those jumps and flap those arms. No?
So, there is Plushenko and WHO?
Very surprised Dickson is carrying on in that tradition.
That is a nice move on her part. Those who speak various tongues, have more friends. IMHO.

I disagree with your assessment of Russian male skaters. Ilia Klimkin, Ilia Kulik, Alexei Yagudin, Alexei Urmanov (just to name a few) are hardly prolific arm flappers.
