Samodelkina leaning away from Maxim Trankov the entire post-skate interview. How strong was this man’s cologne?

Someone who watches Juniors and has more knowledge than me, please offer an opinion: Akateva is Kamila's successor in terms of the Eteri record breaking girl (with help of course)? Adeliia will be a sort of Maiia? Mura kind of gives me Kosto vibes, but she only placed third? What about Samodelkina? I didn't really feel anything while watching her at RusNats. Zhilina? Does Isabeau have a shot against them or she'll just be another Loena more or less?

PURPLE RULES
So how did you like the girls’ performances in Krasnoyarsk?
Frankly speaking, Sofia Akatieva’s Mulan always makes me cry. Actually I’d like to comment more on this program, so I’ll probably do that in a specially dedicated post bit later.
As to Sofia Samodelkina, in her interview after the free skate she admitted she was inspired by Alexandra Trusova storming five quads at Chelyabinsk Test Skates. Therefore she landed three quads which brought her to the third place. It is also quite peculiar that both Sofia S. and her idol Sasha sadly failed to land their 3As in SP (Sasha competed in the U.S. International in Boston).
Let’s also congratulate Anastasia Zinina with her debut together with Evgeny Plushenko. Her quad toeloop as well as artistic skills (look at her arms in motion!) are amazing.

Is RusFed trying to set up a rivalry between Sasha and Samodelkina, or are they merely trying to do Sokolovskaya a solid by scheduling all her students at the same competitions?

2022 Russian Junior nationals entry #9
Junior women short program
Maria Zakharova
Thoughts: despite not being very tall, her legs are longer than some of the other skaters. It’s an interesting body type.
Adelia Petrosyan
Thoughts: this felt, empty is too harsh a word. But it’s similar. There’s a maturity missing.
Julianna Shirieava
Thoughts: I remember this dress. It’s stunning. I think the rest of the flight is going to have a hard time coming up with a better dress.
Sofia Samodelkina
Thoughts: she has pretty eyes and I like her earrings
Inga Gurgenidze
Thoughts: what are those ribbons in her hair? It looks like an extra set of ears, eek.
Elizaveta Kulikova
Thoughts: too much pink in her dress
