About leaving Eteri's team:
European champion Alena Kostornaya spoke about the departure of coach Eteri Tutberidze from the group in March of this year.
- Different reactions to your last transition. Someone says: “Why is she running from coach to coach!”
I know whose words these are! Alena Leonova. I want to say this: without knowing the situation, it is very difficult to judge what happened.
The situation remained between me and Eteri Georgievna and the coaching staff. If we broke up, then we came to a mutual decision. It's not like I annoyed someone, but they told me - get out of here!
But at the same time, it was not me who told the coaches: “You know, you are such and such, I will not work with you.” Of course not.
I believe that both athletes and coaches deserve respect. Because it was teamwork, collective. But after analyzing the whole situation, we decided that we basically squeezed everything we could out of our cooperation, and the time has come.
- So you had a good conversation?
- Yes, it's not that we cursed each other, everyone quarreled. Everything is absolutely calm, fine.
Did you bring a bouquet?
“I didn’t bring a bouquet, but a basket of fruits,” said Kostornaya.
Косторная об уходе от Тутберидзе: «Решили, что выжали из нашего сотрудничества все, что могли, и время пришло. Принесла не букет, а корзину фруктов»
Чемпионка Европы Алена Косторная рассказала об уходе из группы тренера Этери Тутберидзе в марте этого года. – Разные реакции на твой переход последний.

In all those transactions she never said a bad word on the press about any of her previous choaches.
even with that never ending stream of injuries and sickness, she never pitied herself or wined "life is unfair".
She showed great inner strenght and despite drama being all around her, she proved wrong all those people describing her as a drama queen when she was at the top.
Things happen around her and to her, she's like a catalyst (we will see in the end if it's a curse or a benediction) but she surely has the courage to stand the hard times and the spirit to fully enjoy the good times.

I'm happy they managed to part ways like adults this time! (Except on the part of the "dancer guy", but we all know he can never shut his mouth up...)About leaving Eteri's team:

Oh my goodness she got COVID a second time poor girl. I also got COVID a second time and it was much worse than the first so I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been for her as an athlete.
Hoping she makes a full recovery quickly.

I think this has become my favourite performance of her ever... I don't care about 3A, this is just something else...

Most skaters need firework to keep you entertained.
Few skaters can simply skate in circles and you just can't stop watching

deep down i hope she makes her adele program a competition program. that is my favorite exhibition of hers, it's the perfect combo of the styles of music she skates well to, like a toned down version of her short last year. i'd LOVE to see that as a short and something like Adios Nonino for her FS.

She is looking really good and just starting to recover from her injuries. Wait another 2 or 3 months and aliona will be even better. I hope she is following what's going on and to see how well Loena did scoring about 220 points at worlds and Kaori scoring well over 230 points at worlds and both without ultra si.
Let's just hope AK gets real opportunities to compete next season but it's all up in the air for reasons she is not responsible for.

She could surely score like that if she skates clean and confident, but in russia I don't think anybody without ultra-c would be considered for international selection (understandable from their point of view).
As usual Aliona got the short stick because she gained herself those GP spots that the fed won't probably give her, but they will be gone before russia will return to international competitions.

I have heard Russia can't be banned from the GP series because that is not based on nationality just performance and numbers only. I'm not 100% sure about that but that's what I've heard from others.
Anyway I hope that Aliona gets to keep her 2 GP events whether they're for this season or next season or wherever. This girl has had so much bad luck in her career I can't believe it. Timing is everything. I think AK would have won worlds 2 years ago at 16 and her career would be totally different.
