Elena Radionova

Don't you just hate the Vodorezova (Buynova) blat (power obuse). She isn't even a good coach. She got insanely lucky that her best coaching produce involved a skater spending most of her career saving a dying sister, being heartbroken in not making the team event, and being awarded with the ultimate redemption in the individual event.

It's sad... Radionova isn't the best figure skater of the field, but she has charisma.

Charisma (along with mathematics) is a type of real-life magic. Hitler had it, Stalin had it, Freddie Mercury had it. Many of the people that watch Radionova perform dont give two cares about her posture, jump landings, what not. They just have another gray day, yet, when they watch her birght, exuberant, performances, it makes their days brighter!

I may be wrong in my observation, but in terms of raw charisma and likability, no female figurer skate beats Radionova. Not even Ilinykh.

edit:

Watch Freddie Mercury express his charisma:

Well, by this time next season, Zagitova and Polina will turn senior and everyone's slot will be in danger anyway. I doubt even if Buynova can do anything.

Zagitova is very unstable. Last year she faild, and her 2nd Grand Prix was pretty narrow.
Her SP in Turkey doesnt look that good either. She is relly good and I like her, but it is too early to set your
moneys on Zagi. She can pretty fast turn into Pogo.
And Polina ... that girl has the biggest misfortune so far. This season injured, last season pretty much injured,
growing into the sky and that curious disease. I dont really believe she could be such a big "danger".
 
LOL, I wouldn't really compare Lena to Stalin and Hitler :eek: but I do agree that she has an exceptional level of charisma. :yes:
I apologize if you felt like this claim was over the top. Think about it this way, I am more like Hitler and Stalin than Lena because I am: 1)A light-skin male, 2) wear a moustache, 3) have interest in things involving the military.

Elena just shares with them a high level of charisma. Thats 3 traits versus 1! :biggrin:

By the way, Vodorezova (Buyanova) was most likely smart enough to not send Sotskova to CRF. Why risk losing a trip to worlds when your student is formally the 2'nd spot senior?

Cheers, and hold your chin up. Lena still will be the bright ray of sunshine we all love. :agree:

edit: oh the other real-life magic is rather mathematical analysis (not standard math). The theoretic one where you can divide by 0 using variables in an equasion and magically turning British prime minister Winston Churchill into a carrot!. :laugh:

I think that's an old interview from after Rostelecom...

Here's a recent interview with Lena. She still thinks she has a chance to go to Worlds.
http://tass.ru/sport/4019163
"I'm glad I won the Universiade, I prepared for this competition very seriously, unfortunately, in the free program I made a mistake, but I hope that for the next competition I can fix it and prepare better than at the Universiade. It is a very important competition, which gives the right to compete for a place in the national team for the world Cup, and I do not lose hope to perform in Helsinki "- Radionova said.
"Next season is very important, it starts early, so already quietly begun preparations - pick music for programs, etc. While I can not say whether I have drastic changes in the programs.", - Summed up the skater.

I hope she's not too disappointed when she finds out she's not on the World team... :(

Lena went to TAT's 70th birthday party today! :biggrin:

Lots of pics! :agree:
