Her videomessage is taken at Khrustalnyi, and she says she returned to trainings today if I can understand properly.

Does this mean that she wasn't allowed to train with the previous cast but she's allowed with this one because the break is better?
Or does it mean her left hand broke the very day when she resumed on-ice training?

@Vemvane , I take the liberty of embedding your link, because I don't have Instagram. Thank you!


Oooh, translation is in the comments so I can't have it...
But it's so nice of them to have done it.

Even though Aliona missed her chance at this years Olympics 😪, her absence keeps her a safe distance from public association with perceived cheater(s). Who knows, Aliona being a rebel at heart, maybe decided not to play ball and politely told Dr Feelgood to take a hike. Coincidentally, not too long ago she seemed to fall out of favor with Russian coaches and judges alike…

Here we go, then, translation from the comments (not sure if the comments were in the right order, though):

Q: Aliona, when will you be back on the ice? Are you training now? How's it going with your arm?
A: Hello everyone. I've started training again, and now I'm recording the answers to your questions on the ice. What is this? Yes, I broke my arm again, this time my left one. Sometimes it happens.

Q: In one of your last interviews on Youtube, you said that you moved to a new apartment. How do you like your new independent life? Is it hard? Do you like it?
A: Yes, I really moved to another apartment. Adult life turned out to be much more complicated than I imagined. But it’s ok, I'm coping step by step. This is a new experience for me, and I’m very glad that I’m getting something.

Q: How did you get the idea of Harley Quinn exhibition?
A: I think this character just perfectly describes me. I've never seen such a similarity, it's like a copy of me, both mentally and in appearance, especially if I have a make-up and I'm in the image. This is my personality, this is my lifestyle.

Q: How are you preparing to enter the medical university?
A: At the moment I’m studying to be a psychologist. Probably it will be good if I combine training as a coach and as a psychologist, because it can help athletes a lot. And now I don't plan to enter a medical university. So far I'm only dreaming about it.

Q: Did you enjoy studying at school? Do you like studying at the university? What changes have you noticed between school and university?
A: I can't say that I'm very excited about studying. But mostly I like it, it's very interesting, and absolutely not the way it was at school. These are very different directions.

Q: Will Tutberhouse ever come back?
A: Yes, I hope we can bring it back when our whole team is together. And if the girls themselves want it.

Q: Will you do vlogs on your Youtube channel?
A: I'm actively developing my channel, but I can't afford to do it often yet due to my new injuries and my trainings. But don't worry, when I have more free time, I will record and post new videos.

Q: What is your favorite color, Aliona?
A: Deep purple, deep blue, maybe pink. In general, all colors except brown.

Q: Do you want to drive a car? Are you going to get a driver's license?
A: I have a driver's license, but I don't drive a car, because so far it's problematic for me. For example, when I'm in a taxi, I can allow myself to just sleep, but if I fall asleep at the wheel, it won't be very good.

Q: Tell us about your vocal lessons.
A: I’m going to the studio, I’m learning, I’m developing my skills. If I get something good, maybe I'll post it on my social networks. But I'm not ready to show it yet.

Q: How do you motivate yourself at the days that you don’t even want to get out of bed?
A: Actually, it's very hard. But due to the fact that I live alone now, I have to walk my dogs myself. I get out of bed, put on a tracksuit and leave the apartment. I walk in the fresh air, put my thoughts in order, and after that my day doesn't seem so lazy. So, my motivation is my pets. It's a responsibility. Let's just say I'm creating a mood for myself with this.

Blitz
Q: A house or an apartment?
A: I’d choose a house. A country house with its own territory, so that everything is beautiful there.

Q: Horror or romance (or another genre)?
A: I choose comedy or fantasic. Any fantastic. Witches, vampires, werewolves – all these is my theme.

Q: Instagram or Tik Tok?
A: 50/50. Tik Tok is very funny and Instagram is full of information.

Q: Sleep or eat?
A: I’d prefer eat, especially if the food is delicious.

Q: Plane or train?
A: Plane.

Q: Skiing or snowboarding?
A: I'm not a big fan of winter sports, except figure skating. I've never tried any of these. I don't know.

Q: Ballet classes or dancing?
A: I like to watch ballet, but dance myself. I prefer modern dancing.

Q: Morning training or evening training?
A: I always do evening training better than morning training. I don’t know why, but it always happens that way.

Q: Text message or voice message?
A: I always look at size. If it's big, of course, I'd rather record my speech. If it's a three-line short answer, then I'll write it.
Thank you all. See you soon. Bye bye.

Is it possible Aliona has weak bones? I'm very sad to read she has once again broke her hand... Wish her quick and swift recovery :hap10:

That is certainly possible. I myself have broken my arm before from a pretty innocuous seeming fall. Basically tripped and snapped it right in half. The doctor told me I had a vitamin D deficiency, as well as an existing defect in the arm bone which may have contributed. I’ve been on vitamin D supplements since. Maybe Alena can get some bloodwork done to find out if she has a deficiency. Not sure what the weather is like in Russia, but they can’t be getting much sun especially if they’re spending all day indoors training in a rink. Shouldn’t be a huge problem if she is deficient, as she can just buy some supplements for that. Of course, she should probably get them on her own from a reputable source, and not ingest anything offered by those around her…considering…😬

I guess it depends what part of Russia you live :) But in Moscow, in winter it's definitely cold and not enough sun. I know in Poland it's recommended for all to supplement vit D throughout Autumn/Winter as there is no way to get enough vit D while having you whole body covered in clothes. Thanks for answering!

What our girl broke another hand??
I was hopeful after all that Olympics drama Aliona might have a slim chance to Worlds. 😭
Now I'm legitimately depressed.

She had said herself in an earlier video that her not being able to compete at Nationals meant she couldn't participate in great international championships at all, that this would deprive someone else of a deserved participation. I hoped no more than a minor competition such as Egna Spring Trophy but now this is compromised.
Right now I'm sorry she's not already a seasoned psychologist because her teammates and coaches are likely traumatised. I don't know how they will manage to rebuild. Egoistically I'm happy Alyona is far away but I'm sad for the others.
