Alena Kostornaia


I hoped they could do a night somewhere in wester europe.
Let's see if I can go to GP Final next year.

What impressed me live was her "dancing".
Her edges, steps and upper body movement with the music were addicting, not just gracious and beatiful.

Speed and Elevation are superb (you always notice speed a lot more when you're there) and shy flyes over the ice like the most natural thing in the world, but I was prepared for that.
That level of involvement with her "dancing" was more that I expected.

In the meantime I'm so stupid to have missed all the best italians + Liza and Cappellini/La Notte skating few Km from my house :drama:
I saw the announcement "WOW! When?" :yes2:
Looked at the date... "Yesterday night?! F**K" :hopelessness:
 
Does anyone know where Alena got that beautiful black long sleeve lace top she wears during practise? I’ve been trying to find it and can’t seem to, it’s so pretty!
 
Well, it was just posted in the Russian ladies thread that the show will be broadcast on 1tv so yay!!

See SkateSkates, I knew you would figure it out before me, at least! :laugh:

Looking forward to seeing Aliona skate! :yes2:

Ah, unfortunately I do not know either. It is very pretty! :love:
 
And Aliona got her horses visit

Delighted and delightful :love:

Ahh, she got to see Dubovina's filly at Piber, when she was just two or three days old! So happy she had her visit to the Lipizzaners after all - she looks so delighted to be there. The little foal definitely thwarted her desire to pet her, though; she clearly needs to come meet my little gang of mares and foals, as the current foal is a cuddlebug who loves attention, and would have been so happy to be the centre of attention. :biggrin:
 

She's a neat little rider. Just needs to relax a little more in her ankles, I guess, and she'll sit that canter beautifully. (Look at me, doling out judgement and unsolicited advice from a short clip on instagram!) It is nice to see that she has interests and a life outside skating; the horses are a relief from pressure, I would imagine. Thank you for sharing these, McBibus!
 
anyone think we will see a 4S attempt at worlds? she hinted at it once or twice before.

Although I would love to see her 4S I doubt the first time she ever attempts it would be at worlds. Unless it has suddenly become super consistent and she’s able to land it in the program without it affecting the rest of her elements I don’t think we will see it this season. Of course I hope to see a video of it in practice soon to know the status and progress on the jump!

agree- i would rather her go for what she is confident in at worlds and drill the sal over the summer and debut it next season if it's ready.

i can imagine since she has a solid 3A a quad is not far behind at all.

I would love to see some practice.
I'm very curious about it, not just Aliona but all the team including the now mytological Fedotov :biggrin:

Not the usual 3 minutes tv service where you see nothing, but a full traning session.

Is the show tonight at 19:00 Moscow time?

Yes and Edwin posted a YouTube link in The Russian ladies thread: https://youtu.be/HFi7NNi6NEE

Hopefully it’s not geo blocked!
