I was referring to Julia Lipnitskaya, who actually has posted better results for the most part the last 2 seasons than both Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva.
That may be, but this is also Lipnitskaia's first senior season, so you really can't compare her junior results with Tukt and Sotnikova's senior ones. In addition, she's started to struggle with the puberty monster, and her jumps are already so small (that 2A makes me cringe and grip the edge of my seat every time she attempts it). I don't doubt that Lipnitskaia can continue challenging for international medals, but IMO, she's still a ways away from the Euros performances of her older compatriots.
