Her skating is so beautiful. I think I enjoy watching her skate more than anyone including Zagitova or Medvedeva.
But I don't get why she always finishes second to Trusova. She seems like the more complete skater than Sasha is.
She is unreal :shocked:
Alena was absolutely wonderful. She’s by far my favorite junior lady, I hope her future will be bright!!!
Let me guess.. both of you didn't follow her until now? :sarcasm:
Well thank you for the explanation it makes sense and I guess that's how Alina beat Evgenia and Adelina beat Yuna skating more difficult higher-scoring programs with bigger and better jumps. I guess that's why Sasha always gets the edge on Alena even though Alena seems to be a more complete and elegant figure skater.Well, here in the SP the difference mostly was simply in that Sasha does a more difficult combo(0.88 points more in BV) and Kostornaia got a ! on her Lutz(Usually a bit more than 1 point in GOE). In general, Kostornaia's jump content is relatively simple in comparison and it becomes even more pronounced in the FS.
She is like the best of Satoko, Yulia, Evgenia, and Yuna all combined..

Partial senior-eligibility (only for Grand Prix and senior B competitions) was eliminated a number of years ago. The eligibility rules are now exactly the same for all senior events. She won't be eligible until the 2019-2020 season.She is incredible on the ice, the total package. I think she's already working on 3A, isn't she ? She's a joy to watch !
Is there a possibility for her to compete at the Senior GP ? Some Juniors ladies have done that in the past (without being senior eligible). I don't know if it's still possible.

Alena finished about 18 points out of first. Lol! How does she perform so outstandingly and finish 18 points out of first place. I am good with Sasha winning the gold. But by 18 points? smh.
It's too bad this girl can skate with the seniors because there's really no reason for her to be in juniors anymore.
