Can Elena speak English?
yes, she can.I read somewhere. Plus she is a real diva already..
Although I'm not fan of her SP (I agree with posters who call it 'chaotic')but I like that she tries something different. And most importantly, she seems to really enjoy her programmes, it's just so refreshing to watch her! It seems to me that a lot of people want to see the Yuna-type of skaters (and don't get me wrong, I love Yuna!) and if someone doesn't go for that style of skating and chooses different approach, it's wrong. I'm happy that Elena tries to go her way. You go girl!
thank you. i'd love to see many types of skaters as well. Not everyone should be princess.Although I'm not fan of her SP (I agree with posters who call it 'chaotic')but I like that she tries something different.

I enjoyed Elena's skate today! IMO, she has terrible posture (it seems like she has no neck because of her high shoulders), and she still tends to arm flail a lot.
Her coach actually said "Go!" (literally "went") in Russian, something she seems to say her every time. This word in her way of saying has a clot of power that seem to be well transmitted to Elena.At skate America her coach said to her "good luck" right before she took the ice. I couldn't tell if it was my ears tricking me or not.
Here are some pictures of Elena I took at TEB.
