2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

a bit interesting and insightful interview of Julia Lipnitskaya's (and Max Kovtun's) first coach (in Ekaterinburg, before Eteri). Some rather thoughtful points of view on prospects and future progress of figure skating. View words about Trusova, Valieva and Co.

In Russian, sorry.. Try google translate until someone translates this to us..

I've seen her do beautiful 3A's on the floor, and it is Sasha, I don't think there is much of anything she cannot do, once she is determined to do it. I believe, that as a senior, she will have a 3A in her short program.

I got this link on my phone, from the "Irina Rodrina" cup, whatever that is. I'm going to assume this little girl is 7?, but holy moly she is amazing.

Elena Kostyleva? She's insane, probably the most talented skater at her age I think.

Interesting. I believe , that in any given competition, any one of the three (Aloyna, Sasha, Anna) could win. Anna and Sasha could crash on quads and leave the field wide open for Alonya/Elena. I hope all three stay healthy and uninjured and continue to challenge each other.

There is one not common tradition in Russian language to mix these two names, Alyona and Elena. There is an opinion that Alena comes from Elena, but there is an opinion that this is an independent name of Greek origin. Some people think that it has connection with Alina or Magdalena or Alan (male non-Russian name).
So it will be better never call Alyona as Elena if only she will tell you it's ok and is common for her family.
 
"Alyona" may be related to "Al Yonna" ("The pigeon of God" in antic hebrew). Or "Sunny", or "One who pulls us up".
Elena (Helena, Helen, Lena) is of St. Helena ("The Brightest one")

Turned 7 yo 3 days ago, in fact. That was 41.78 points, which is the most I've seen for that category. Also, was the only 2011-born skater participating. Oh, and is the youngest skater I've ever seen land 2Lutz(let alone 2Lz-2T), not to even get started on stuff like the PCS or the spins. Even change foot on sit is very rare for this category and that last combination spin is very good. So little travel also, and good speed. And finally, the rocker turn in the middle of the choreo sequence is so smooth.

The only other one who could be is Polina Sazhina born in 2012, coached by Eteri Tutberidze. She would need to be extremely incredible because this performance by Kostyleva is absurdly good. Last season Kostyleva was significantly better and she improved so much. But there's the Eteri factor so you never know...
 
Does anyone know if Radionova will change her SP music before gp? Her choreo components could be better...

Interesting lady. I wish there would be more interviews with these trainers which usually not stand in the light but deliver most of hard work in growing up best skaters.
BTW...I recomending to use yandex translate. I can pretty much understand writen/speak russian, but often using it for some technical texts and it usually giving more rational translations from russian language, than google translate.
 
yep, yandex can be better sometimes, i guess because while google is generic, yandex focuses more on offering good translations of russian.
