Lena will be performing at the new Denis & Friends show! June 20-21.

Hooray! I wonder if that means we'll get to see her new EX..?!! Hopefully the show will be broadcast or we get some fan vids at least!


Wow, good find! It's interesting that Lena posted almost no photos from her time in Minneapolis, but she posted a ton in NYC. I wonder if that's because she knew the Riedell people were posting photos, or because she felt that Minneapolis=work, and NYC=vacation...

Just so we're clear....usually ads are based on where a person usually searches in the internets. Maybe you could search for Ballet a little less and focus on Lena a bit more ....

Touche, Sam-Skwantch! You caught me there!!

But since it's prime ballet season here and off-season for skating, I guess I won't be seeing Lena ads for awhile...
Though I'm not sure where these Army ads are coming from. :confused: Is that because I've been looking at the CSKA (Red Army) site? :laugh:
 
I'd probably just try to get a selfie with her. But yeah, might freak out of course:eek:

Welcome back, CutieP! I've missed you!

Well, I didn't see Lena in NYC, but I did see Michelle Kwan in Boston, so I guess it wasn't a total loss! :biggrin:

Here's a long interview with Ilya Averbukh that was translated on FSU.
http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/ind...ways-be-the-face-of-the-sochi-olympics.95729/

There's not much about Lena, but Ilya mentions again that she's the 'most interesting' to work with.

And here are some random photos I found.

Yulia, Anna and Lena--from 2013 Jr Worlds, maybe?

Finally added Elena's SP to the post above. Had to slightly pitch-shift the JLo, since there's now geo-blocking in 250 countries on detection of this song -- strange, considering I've been uploading Elena's SP's all season and never got tripped on this music before.

Hmm, strange!! Thanks so much for posting, sabinfire! :bow:

Lena posted another helicopter shot on Twitter:

I wonder where she is now... :confused:

My guess is she is either back in Russia or on her way back to Russia. I read an interview a few weeks ago where she said that she would be vacationing the end of May and then heading to a training camp the first week of June.
 
I'd give good money to see her reel in a giant catfish :biggrin:

Who is the girl in the pink shirt? I don't recognize her.

Elena is with a Riedell Skate Company employee. They were hosting Elena and her dad in Minnesota. Judging by their website and Instagram I think They may sponsor Elena.

Yes, I think you're right. I guess I was hoping for another JFK airport photo (like she posted when she was leaving Seoul)... ;)

Actually, I think the woman doesn't work at Riedell, but she must know Clint Riegelman, whom she mentions in the comment below.
Here's a photo of Lena with Clint:

Judging by her Instagram, she's a designer/artist? https://instagram.com/gvozdar/
Maybe they brought her in to help translate...

I do think a sponsorship deal was in the works. This photo of Lena was posted by a guy who works at a communications/marketing firm, so she must have been doing more at Riedell than just getting some custom skates...

I hope Lena can get some more sponsors! :cheer:

You really are good at coming up with the info! I hope she gets some more sponsors too. I even took a leap of faith a brought a ticket to Worlds in hopes of seeing her and Tuk. She has become one of my favorites and she deserves to be able to grow and to reach her full potential.

:biggrin: I try!

I guess we were wrong--Lena's not in the US or Russia, she's in Nice/Monaco! https://instagram.com/p/3jEGq_QYYo/
She looks like she's there with her bestie Lera Evseeva; they were there last year too. https://instagram.com/p/3iiHceCQkO/

Big news! Lena's long program was choreographed by Morozov!! :eek: http://www.ifsmagazine.com/sections/articles/articles/32786-inside-russia

So I guess much has changed since Inna's interview! Lena seems to have found a sponsor, and she is working with other choreographers like she wanted to!

I'm not sure how I feel about Morozov as Lena's choreographer though.. Hmm..

Morozov tends to be very hit or miss... But he does usually come up something, er, interesting. And Lena's one of the best at selling the heck out of whatever material she's given.

Thank you for linking to that IFS article, btw! I hope you don't mind me reposting the link on relevant threads.

On a shallow note, did Lena cut her a hair a little? :(
 
Looks like our NYC friends should have posted up on the Boardwalk while she was in town. ;)

“I’m very interested in New York. I’ve never been there. I want to go to Broadway, walk around New York and maybe do some shopping,” she said. “In France I’ll go swimming and lie on the beach. I was there last year and I really enjoye

Where is the boardwalk in NYC? Under the Brooklyn Bridge? I usually just go to the jazz clubs and hang out in the Village when I am there.

Re: Morozov
I like him and think that although maybe this is better for him she'll be just fine. We all know she could make anything interesting :yes: honestly I'd like her to tone down her choreography a bit and work on the basics a bit so this could be a good match for that.

What fun it must be for a choreographer to find the perfect spot to place that perfect Biellmann.

YEEEEESSSSS :clap:

For some reason, I think it would be even more perfect if she had her hair half-back (like in her exhibition where the top is in a ponytail and the rest is loose) and it was curled, and the glorious curls cascaded around her as she biellman-ed...

:dance:

Sharp eyes, Sandpiper! I think you're right! When she was in Korea, it was practically to her waist, and now it looks a lot shorter. But maybe that's because she's holding it up...?

Don't be too sad...it'll grow back!

Haha, Sam-Skwantch, I think you misread what Lena said. :laugh: She said she wanted to go to Broadway, as in musicals/theaters, not the Boardwalk, as in by the beach!

But, there is a Boardwalk at Coney Island! Maybe if Lena comes back to NYC, she can check it out. ;)

Ooooh, that sounds prettttyyyy! :love: I just hope that Lena's back doesn't bother her too much when she does the Biellmann!

Speaking of pretty, here's Lena and Lera at a restaurant!

RE: Morozov--now I'm very confused! So the long program is set, and it was choreographed by Morozov, but they haven't figured out the SP yet? So what was Averbukh doing when he worked with Lena? :confused: Making an EX?

Or is this info old, even though the article is new? I guess Tatjana Flade was there awhile ago (before Lena went to Minneapolis)...We'll just have to wait and see, I guess...
 
Someone posted videos of Lena's performances from last year's "Bolshoi on Ice"!
Russian folk dance

Zombie dance

Finale--the highlight of this is seeing Lena dancing to "Gangnam Style" around 1:30 :dance:

Lena posted more vacation photos on her IG:

I like this photo...

Aww, Lena & Lera, best friends forever! :love:
