Yana Rudkovskaya: Evgeni coached Alena for only a month and a half. And when Sasha made a demand to choose – either she or Kostornaia, my husband chose her. In principle, when athletes make such demands, I agree with Eteri Georgievna – it won’t do any good. So Sergei Rozanov worked with Alena. Both Alena and Sasha did not have a sparring partner. Evgeni came, helped, gave some advice, but Alena trained very little.
Her back hurted a lot, the doctors forbade loads, why is everyone silent about this? She had covid, a complication – viral sore throat. She practically did not train at full strength. It’s difficult to talk about a full season. Not because Seryozha Rozanov is a bad coach, but because she was ill all season. In total, she trained fully only two months. Four – was ill. She came to us without an axel, and now 10 months have passed, but so far we have not seen a clean axel at the competitions. Alena is 18 years old, not 15, not everything is as simple as everyone would like. I will be sincerely glad if she succeeds, she is a very talented girl, I am very sorry that Evgeni could not train her. Very sorry.
), and I don't think she and her family have the resources for her to train abroad.
