And we should appreciate how comparatively good our lives are still today. I don't want to think about how bad it is for people in crisis areas or fleeing civil wars, some of whom don't even have access to water and toilets. One cannot imagine what will happen if the virus spreads in Africa.

Yes! Definitely. It might be hard sometimes to stay at home all the time (especially for athletic and active people like figure skaters) but in the end, we‘re still lucky. Thank you for adding this to my post, it‘s a very important point. It really makes you see everything differently.

In her live, Aliona also confirmed that she prefers Aliona or Alyona over Alena

Yes, it was the first thing she said. He asked her: Is it Alena or Aliona and she was all like: Aliona, of course!! Made me feel bad because I remember at JGP Linz, when I was still a pretty new fan and didn‘t know better, I called her “Alena“ when asking for a picture. Oops. :slink:
 
thank you guys! her English has gotten much better even in the last few months!

i honestly could not imagine being a competitive athlete during a time like this- there is only so much you can do to keep in shape outside of your actual sport. you can do so many off ice jumps, exercises, dance, strength training, etc but you still can't run programs or do your skills as you would on ice. i would be so heartbroken to not be able to train properly, and i'm sure they were all devastated when they learned they had to stay away from the rink for an extended period of time.
 
Again she's wearing Guess... :) Looks beautiful and relaxed. She's so cute when she's speaking in English... :luv17: I hope we'll be able to read the translation of Aliona's live-stream as well.
 
I’m so glad Aliona was able to do the live stream today! And she mentioned filming her training potentially next week so we have more videos to look forward to :)

Yes, I noticed that she was wearing Guess again too! :biggrin:

To me she looks much more well-rested than she did during the season, when it seemed like the bags under her eyes were really huge. :eek:

The English translation of her live stream is in the comments of the last two posts below that Fluture shared. :agree:

Here are all live-streams in case they haven‘t been posted yet. :)

I'm glad to see that Aliona is mostly keeping a positive attitude despite being stuck at home! :agree:

I thought it was interesting that she said she has to limit how much she eats this time because she's not training. I wonder if that means she doesn't usually have to limit herself much--if so, that's great to hear.

I guess she has gone back to wanting to be a neurosurgeon (instead of a sports journalist), but at least she will take an academic leave first so she can continue skating. :agree:

I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from our darling vampire angel! :hap57:

ETA Forgot to mention that Aliona really does seem to be more fluent in English than early in the season, but I also suspect that's because she gets nervous for the official interviews. :yes:

But she was supersweet and kind anyway, wasn't she? ;)
 
I needed a pair of minutes to realize I met the man from the english video some time ago, but I would not recognize him if he would not say he's italian :biggrin:
He's a great rolle skater btw.
 
I really needed some good Aliona's Feed. :love:
It's embarassing to admit (so be kind to me) but a pair of days ago I was watching a movie and there was a scene in a market in Moscow.
I realized I was not payig attention to the main characters and the dialogues because I was unconsciously scanning the crowd searching for Aliona, like it was a real feed from Moscow and she could be there :drama::o:

It must be the spell I was talking about last week with Batsuchan :laugh:

This is heavily paraphrased but that was the essence of it and I found it to be a very wise thing to say. It‘s definitely true and it‘s these days that we learn to appreciate how good our lives had been, really.

It's true and this days I feel grateful for many thing I always considered for granted.

Can you believe we got another video today? https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pbF9hoOKq/?igshid=1ekpwhk7x0jc2

Not sure what she says after hello, but we get to see an off ice double axel.

Yes, I feel like we are going to be spoiled by lots of new content when Aliona is stuck at home, and then it will be especially painful when she goes back to posting extremely infrequently. :drama:

I feel like her hair has gotten quite long! :eek: The ponytails are adorable. :luv17:

Thanks for the translation flanker! :thank:
 
It's too bad that Aliona is allergic to some types of cosmetics...I had been hoping she'd get a makeup endorsement contract, but I guess this means she'd have to be very picky about what she could advertise... :yes:

Separately, I noticed that she evaded the question about having a boyfriend. :biggrin: Surely it's none of my business (but I am a nosy fan!), but her refusal to answer makes me think that she does... :unsure: :laugh: If not, I think she would've answered like Sasha did in her recent interview--"I don't have time for dating." ;) But yes, Aliona's entitled to her privacy! :agree:

It’s a perfect opportunity for a hypo-allergenic brand to work with Aliona and have her be a genuine spokesperson :) we can hope!
