Alena Kostornaia

Happy birthday, Aliona! I wish you happiness, health and success in your life.



On a side note: loved the new hairstyle, loved the flexibility, also impressed by the fact that Rozanov’s been coaching her longer than Eteri has. It really helped understand her choice.

Am I the only one who’s DYING to know about her programs???
 
Even if it's actually about Alyona: In these photos, not only she, but also Plushy looks very authentic and personable. He should coach more and make less "funny" commercials. Such photos are IMO 1000x better for his image. :agree:

May this day be the happiest! May your dreams come true!


It seems their relationship is longer as I thought

What did you think their relationship was and what do you think it is? I'm hoping youre thinking coach pupil.

We're going to see Aliona at test skates in a couple weeks. :)
Now we can get back to talking about figure skating where Aliona is concerned.

It's up to him now to do more of this and less of that. Super nice pictures.

Yes, of course!!!! Rozanov used this hashtag #5yearslikeoneday and he showed an old picture with Alyona. I think they worked together even before they arrived to Eteri.
 
In honor of Aliona's birthday, a couple of journalists wrote articles about her today. :agree:

I particularly enjoyed this one:
Why Alena Kostornaya is the main rock star of figure skating
https://tass.ru/opinions/9271689

Perhaps one of our Russian friends might translate some of the article for us, but I think you can get the gist from GoogleTranslate (the bolding is mine):
What really changed with the transition is the image of Alena. To be more precise, it just took final shape.

You know, in fact, I even liked her trick. Probably because it's really bold, completely in her spirit. Even when the TSCHK trio trained on the same ice, each of them, in contrast, could easily find a suitable description from two or three words. Anna Shcherbakova - sophistication and lightness, Alexandra Trusova - genuine athleticism, Kostornaya - fatal beauty and audacity. A nuclear combination that dooms the carrier to eternal duality of views.

And in Alena it was always. I passed through every gesture, deed, look. Especially in the look. There are no more such deep, charming and dangerous (and she is only 17!) eyes in the world figure skating. Let's be honest, in many ways it is for this that we - ordinary viewers - love her. And for this they are ready to peck, give just a reason.

Yes, for me Alena is an absolute rock star. Since this summer - the main one, at least in Russian figure skating. This is a way of thinking - to live contrary to dogmas and do not care what others say.

I totally agree with the author. :yes: Aliona does whatever she wants to and doesn't care what other people think. Some people--like me!--will admire her for her boldness, but others will criticize her for it.

Anastasia Panina--one of my favorite FS journalists--makes a similar point:
KOSTORNAYA - SEVENTEEN. WHY IS SHE SO GOOD?
https://matchtv.ru/figure-skating/m...Kostornoj__semnadcat_Pochemu_ona_tak_khorosha

GoogleTranslate (bolding is mine):
In one of the interviews Alena, laughing, said - you need an eye for an eye after me, so that she doesn't do anything. But even a thousand eyes did not prevent her from making a decision that most adults would not dare.

Is it reckless to walk away from a coach churning out champions with mint productivity? Perhaps. Stupid? Maybe. Boldly? Definitely. However, this decision says much more about Kostornaya than her love for horses, the veneration of vampires for the standard of beauty and the timer she set for journalists at an interview in Graz combined.

From now on, Alena has no chance to remain neutral-good for the public - she will always either be adored for her disobedience, or branded for it. By the way, comments in posts on Instagram Kostornaya had already been closed.

At Nationals, Aliona was wearing a sweatshirt that said "Rebel Chic," and I feel like that just fits her perfectly:

:love: :agree:

So no matter what other people say, I'm going to continue to root for our little rebel, our rock star! :hap10:
