Those pictures are gorgeous and the dress... beautiful, so sad we won’t see it again (the dress and the program)

So Yuhana Yokoi, one of the Japanese figure skaters, posted a hilarious IG story that mentioned Aliona.
It has since expired but I saved a screenshot (that I can't figure out how to share), and this is what she said:

When I was taking a nap, Kostornaia appeared in my dream.
In my dream, Kostornaia and I were really close friends, and when I told her "I LIKE ANKO*" in English, she said "I KNOW."
She could speak Japanese too.
We took a video of us being really friendly, but when I woke up and checked, there wasn't any video like that. (Of course.)
Even though it was just a dream, I'm glad I was able to experience a situation where I formed a new friendship with "Kostornaia," the embodiment of beauty.

* I think Yuhana is referring to sweet red bean paste, but I'm not 100% sure:

Aliona and Yuhana actually were both on the podium at the 2019 Finlandia Trophy.

Maybe if they meet again, Yuhana can realize her dream and become Aliona's friend!

Maybe Anko from Naruto? https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Anko_Mitarashi

Thank you, she's so cute! I love Yuhana, her Tom&Jerry program is one of the cutest ever.

LOL, I don't think it was Anko from Naruto but nice reference. I remembered her, too.

I mean, what's more likely? Bean paste, or anime? But Yokoi is kinda funny, so why not both?!

about anime and Japan we should ask Zenya to tutor Aliona

Things are going back to normal, I suppose...

Gabby's post was disappointing and I was hoping it was still here so I could reply. It's very simple while I believe AK had other options besides returning to TT she went back to a place she knows that works for her.

Someone was in here last week also posting a derogatory comment about Alyona wanting to be a neurosurgeon and saying don't ever be on the operating table with somebody as emotionally unstable as Alyona being in a neurosurgeon. This never happens in Zhenya or Alinas fan fest.

Yea, I think I made some kind of politely snarky answer back to Gabby's post even though I really shouldn't have. I feel bad now, and I'm trying from now on not to get banned!

Aliona the Amazon! She looks huge compared to Petro. What a wonderful picture. Hopefully things are getting back to normal for Aliona.

I forgot what Gabby's post was by now.
But it's obvious that some people took Alionas shocking move from PA back to TT very personally.

I can't see not liking a skater because of who their coach by. But it happens.

I think it was before her come back. In fact your last sentence is true both ways.

What was before her come back?

It's true about some people stop supporting some skaters because of who their coached by. It's just the way it is. Sad but true.

My bad! It was on March 4th.

I have no idea who the munchkins are. But alyona must feel like she's at home shoulder shoulder in the picture with Anya.

I hope so, for the good of everyone involved. I wish no more drama at least till the olympics
As for the munchkins, the girl in the middle is Adriana Parferova, she trains under Polina Tsurskaya. Don't know the names of the other two, but presume they work with Polina as well.

If there is drama it will be manufactured.
As for Alyona she's just getting back to work and the routine she used to have

Polina landed in a coaching goldmine at age 18.

Except that it's not quite "shoulder to shoulder" -- Aliona is so tiny she makes Anna look like a giant!
Especially here:

But it is so lovely to see Aliona & Anya together again!
I always thought they got along really well.

I'm waiting for more adorable dance vids like this!


And I'd forgotten that Polina T. is coaching at Crystal now -- she also seemed to get along great with our girl.

Everyone seems to get along with Anya.

Okay so they're not shoulder-to-shoulder. They are Annas shoulder to Alenas bicep instead.

Thanks for the video it's wonderful to see Aliona smiling again.
