1st video: "Hello, I am Elena Radionova, I am at the show "Ice Kings". I really liked Stephanne Lambiel, Johnny Weir, and, espevially, Evgeni Plushenko. I want to give thanks to all the small and big figure skaters, good luck to everyone."

2nd video:

Plushenko: How old are you?
Elena: Eleven.

P: What is your zodiac sign?
E: Capricorn.

P: Oh, thats a complex zodiac sign. Are you ready to work?
E: Of course, yes.

P: How many training sessions do you have each day?
E: Two to three.

P: You have both general P.E and choreography?
E: Yes, both.

P: Now you see guys, this girl does everything and is ready to work, therefore, our sport will live forever. Is that right? (E:yes.) Due to such hard-working, dedicated children.

P: Good luck. And no down, no feather to you. [Russian saying analogous to good luck. One English variant is "don't break a leg".]
E: To hell with it. )) [a traditional response to the down and feather saying.]

Thank you so much for the translations Tyranid!! I love those videos!

If someone has the time, could you please translate this for me?

«У нее была в детстве удивительная особенность, — смеется Инна Германовна. — Пока она выходила на старт, могла десять раз споткнуться, даже упасть, но вот как только включалась музыка, Леночка больше уже не путалась в ногах и каталась чисто».

This is from one of my favorite interviews with Inna Goncharenko:

"In her childhood she had an unusual trait, - laughs Inna Germanovna. - When she went out on the ice, she could have stumbled 10 times, maybe even have fallen, but when the music started, Elena[Lenochka] no longer floundered in her feet and skated cleanly".

:agree:

Somehow, Lena is still like that.. from practice reports, some posted that she's not as solid but delivered in competition

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking!! (Thanks Tyranid for translating!) I think she's consistent now because she has always been that way--somehow, she has the amazing ability to perform when it counts....even if she messes up in practice. :yes:

Maybe next season they should add some tano jumps to her programs and thereby get her to land them!

My goodness! Those new Leo-Lena fanarts :hap57: too many feels haha especially this last Oscars, Kate has similar hairstyle to Lena

 

[ElenaClaire]

omg those Leo-Lena fanarts!!

I was following the Oscars' updates yesterday and couldn't help but think of Elena's fs haha. And people be like 'he'll never let go' it made me laugh haha. Also I have finally found the Titanic OST version she uses for the program!! Like finally!

Thanks for the update guys.

Oooh, tell us! What song is it and what album??

Separately, I didn't realize that Lena might have a chance to make it to the Team Challenge Cup depending on the nominations/fan votes!

I have no idea if she woill be nominated, win the vote, or accept, but a part of me would be thrilled if she does, so I could see more cute Liza+Lena bonding, like here:

..and of course the cuddling at Worlds 2015!

[ElenaClaire]

Hello~
It's Taylor Davis version (violin cover) of the song.

If Elena got selected for Team Challenge Cup I'll be happy too! I think her programs are pretty charming (despite the flailing arms and such critics), especially the fact that she always gives it her all to the performance. :agree2: also, I just love the song haha.

OT. Is there a confirmed list of competitors? Is Team Challenge Cup similar to WTT?

It's a confusing process, but all the info of the competition is in The Edge. Only two ladies skaters are confirmed at the moment for Europe, and Elena is not one of them. But she can be chosen through the fan vote.

Can't wait to read it! :yes:

In case you're wondering, the guy in the photo is her coach, Alexander Uspenski.

So Lena got some presents from a Japanese fan? How did this fan know where to send it??? (Where do we send presents to Lena??)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BChq8txwYer/?taken-by=lenok_radionova

I want to get Lena a present to give to her at Worlds, but now I feel like I have to get stuff for Lera and Kristina too!

I am guessing here, but but people probably just send stuff for her to CSKA's address.

That's kinda funny. Makes me wonder if any mail is awaiting me at the PO Box for Golden Skate.
