I'm glad that Aliona has a female coach to support her. I wanted to comment on that when one of users here was talking about benefits of a male coaching staff, but at the time I thought my thoughts would come out negatively.
I personally think for girls going through puberty it's always good if not essential to have a female coach.
Certain things will be understandably uncomfortable to discuss with male coaches, especially for young girls, who are experiencing tons of physiological and psychological changes at this age. I think Lena will be able to support Aliona and Sasha in many ways, help them with advice and give some comfort.

I totally agree! I said this I think in Russian ladies' thread, but I couldn't explain it as you did. :)

Can anybody explain why the link isn't open? When the new site started I shared the link and we can see the video itself. Now I can't do that but I see other posters have no problem with it...

I think it might be the /? bit on the end of the URL, I always delete those numbers, the question mark and the /.

Here's some photos of Aliona during her SP at the Open Skates: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZNUN3I77i

I have to say I'm not sold on the shorts over tights look, but that's a really nice top!

Edit: Interesting it din't work for me either! 😂 Oh well, if you click on the link you'll see the post.

Guess you guys must have clicked the wrong option. You should use the option "Media" rather than "Insert link".

I tried with that. But that wasn't good, too.. And some days ago I just shared the link and it opened.. No matter, because we can open the link with a click, but I don't understand..

Apology accepted! :) (Off topic: On a future note, I don't think we should jump at each other instantly, especially not at members of the group who have been posting for some time and have proven their love and support for Aliona. In my opinion even a fanfest should bear slight, appropriate and constructive criticism, because if I don't want to expose my favourite one to hate speech (which of course I would never want to), where shall I discuss if I don't like something about what they've done? (Or anything that is not much to my liking.) Labelling a simple question "shady" and "passive aggressive" made me really sad, because it never intended to be anything like that, on the contrary, seeing that footage where there were a lot of skaters together on the ice, especially kids - Aliona almost bumped into one of the older boys - might rightfully make us worried whether Aliona made the right decision to leave TT, at least in terms of one of the reasons she provided later. Of course, seeing Aliona happy now in her new team makes me happy, so no doubt I want to see her skate her best in the future. Finally, I think we should try to be as much tolerant and understanding to each other as to the subject of the fanfest. Sorry for the long off topic, but it's just been bothering me for days and wanted to speak my mind.)

Well said Patee.
