INNSBRUCK, Jan 12 - One has blonde hair, the other has dark hair. One clinched Gold at the Junior World Championships in 2011, the other claimed Silver, and it was the same placement at the 2011 Russian Junior Championships and 2010-2011 Junior Grand Prix Finals.
Both have already made the step up to international level by placing in the top three in their nation's senior national championships.
It is little wonder then that the duel between 15-year-old Russian Figure Skating prodigies Adelina SOTNIKOVA and Elizaveta TUKTAMISHEVA is expected to dominate the ice when the Innsbruck 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games Ladies' Competition begins on January 15 at Olympiaworld.
Blonde-haired SOTNIKOVA is the Skater who has consistently come out on top in the duo's amazing duel, and has confirmed her place as one of the sport's most exciting prospects by winning the Russian national championships on three occasions, with her first title coming at the age of 12.
Dark-haired TUKTAMISHEVA may have been forced to accept second-best on many occasions, but she is also a rising star in the sport. And as she prepares for her next battle with her compatriot, she insists their rivalry has helped elevate both to great heights.
"If there was no such rivalry, we would not get to where we both are now," TUKTAMISHEVA, who won the 2010-2011 Russian Junior Championships, said.
TUKTAMISHEVA has secured a second-place and two third-place finishes in the Russian nationals and is intent on concentrating on her own performance in Innsbruck.
"I don't like making guesses," she said. "The strongest will win. I will simply try to do everything I can. [To beat SOTNIKOVA] I just need to skate my programme well and to show everything I can do."
Nevertheless, TUKTAMISHEVA will not perform the Triple Axel she has been attempting in training. "We are not including it in the programme," she said. "We do not want to take risks so far."
TUKTAMISHEVA's coach, Svetlana VERETENNIKOVA (RUS), believes her athlete is destined for greatness.
"When she places second to Adelina, I tell her she is an equal athlete," she said. "She is no worse than her, she is equal in terms of strengths. She has all the qualities needed, so [if she comes second] that may be because her time as not come yet."
SOTNIKOVA knows her compatriot's strengths but refuses to focus solely on her. "Of course Liza [TUKTAMISHEVA] is my rival. We are the two Russian girls and we are both strong," she said. "However, Liza is not the only one that is strong, the Japanese and Chinese skaters are strong."
"Everyone can do all the technical elements here. The most important thing is to overcome myself. Because you have to struggle with nerves."
"I have to show all I can do. I have a perfect feeling about these Games."
SOTNIKOVA'S coach, Elena VODOREZOVA (RUS), was keen to emphasise the girls' rivalry starts and ends on the ice.
"In our normal life the girls, as well as us coaches, communicate very friendly," she said. "Adelina and Elizaveta even share the apartment here."
"In sport we are individuals, in the competition we are rivals, and we have always been clear about it. But in life we are totally normal."
Chinese skater LI Zijun, 15, was senior champion in her country in 2011, but placed third in the junior Grand Prix after the Russians. She is aiming for a medal at these Games, but admits she may have to settle for Bronze.
"I don't think I am at their [the Russian girls'] level, they are better than me," she said.
