Alena Kostornaia

Her SP is so beautiful... I'm so happy for her!!
Is that a new Junior WR for the short program? :O

Yes highest junior score in ladies. If she had gotten senior PCs it would have definitely been 80 points

alyona was absolutely stunning as usual, I’m so so pleased for her <3

 

[chasseneige]

Absolutely exquisite! I loved her SP today

It was so worth waking up at 2am! I'm so happy and proud of her! she really did THAT

Once in a generation.

Only Alina Zagitova has a higher score in ladies. That is how good Alena is. Her double Axel yes so good!!!

That really was amazing! What a great skate by Alena. Truly the best was saved for last.

Alyona's SP was mesmerizing tonight!

I'm ecstatic for Alena!! It was impossible to take my eyes off her. She's an artist, an athlete, and an amazing competitor to deliver her best performance (orrr was it? who knows what she can do on practice) with this much pressure at the end of the event

Alena is a queen. That's all I have to contribute to her fan fest.

 

[bewitched]

Alyona was magical! Her SP was pure magic! She deserved an even higher score for this unbelievable skate!

She is just divine. One of the most beautiful skaters I've ever seen. Sasha Cohen is also up there as far as being a beautiful skater goes but Alena does not have the ups and downs that Sasha did.

Hoping Alena can skate her best long program ever on Saturday and somehow Edge Sasha for gold. But it will be difficult.

I'm beyond thrilled for Alena - I really have no words. I don't care what happens when the quads come out in the free skate. She is so clearly and justifiably loved by the judges and it's wonderful to see her be rewarded for her hard work.

I think that might have been the best short program I've seen before. Ever.

Alena Kostornaia and Sasha Cohen have something that cannot be taught. They don't just skate. They dance. And that requires an innate feeling for music that flows through the entire body, fingertips, and toes. Not every skater, no matter how "talented," is born with that.

Very few skaters are born with that. Alena is lucky enough to be one of them.

Splendid!

Can Alena move up to seniors next year since she's 15 already?
