Alena skates like the Trans-Siberian Express. Not a lot of frills, but when she stays on the rails she builds up a real head of steam, blowing off energy and momentum everywhere .
SUPERB stuff from Alena!! That might be just enough. Only Carolina and/or Mao can beat her now. Hope Ksenia puts in a solid performance to secure Russia's 3 spots at worlds for next year. That would mean a team of Alena, Adelina, & Tuk for next years
worlds.
