Maybe it's because having long hairs is the secret for make quads :think:Her hair has gotten sooo long!

I hope so! But only if she’s 100% healthy. Being able to debut without a 3A is better than not being able to debut at all due to injury. I think it will also depend on how much she has grown/if she is still growing. It will be much easier to restore once her height becomes stable so she isn’t constantly re-adjusting. Liza was able to restore hers so I have no doubt that as long as Alena is healthy and wants to do the 3A, she will be able to get it back. The key is health, of course.

Alena with soccer/football players and their coach. All 3A plus Kanysheva took photos with the team. Using the coach as a measuring stick, we can see that Alena is still the shortest. The others all exceed his shoulders while Alena doesn’t quite get there
It’s so funny that she’s the shortest off the ice but on the ice has such a large presence.

Yes huge presence on ice while being short. My guess is Alena is between 4'11" and 4'11.5" tall. While Sasha and Anna are a little over 5' tall. Only Anna among the 3 will reach Alina's height.
I would okay if Alena waited until next summer to learn a triple axel. Her great skating will speak for itself her debut season.

I agree. Also with her coming back from the injury, I would hate for her to get injured again. But you never know, Eteri and her team are known to push skaters.

I'd be more afraid of Alena pushing herself. She has said that earlier this year she wanted to work on the triple axel but her coaches wouldn't let her because she had comp coming up, and then when she was coming back from her injury she was jumping behind her coaches back, probably because she missed it so much. It must be so hard not to train these harder jumps when everyone else is training them, but we'll see what happens. Hopefully one way or the other she remains uninjured.

I'm sure Alena will be pushing herself hard. I hope not too hard.
Yes! Lots of new photos from Alena on vacation having fun in the sunShe posted another Instagram update

So Alyona said that the characters in her (fake) tattoo mean "Danger Love Demon," which seems extremely appropriate for her. Either "danger-loving demon" or "dangerous love-demon" seems to fit!
Especially since in this post she says something about sliding down hills on tables, fire extinguishers in a spa, and generally getting kicked out of everywhere!

Well, we always knew she was a hooligan pretending to be an angel...

The news about Shoma training with Team Tutberidze at summer camp just came out, and I bet Alyona will be happy to see one of her favorite skaters! :agree:

Yes the world is definitely getting to see more of her devilish personality
It’s great that she will be training with one of her favorite skaters this summer. Hoping Shoma can maybe give Alena some tips on her triple axel since he has such a nice one!
Dangerous indeed!!

Alyona seems to be graduating from "heartbreaker" and moving into "femme fatale" territory! :agree:
I think in the 3rd pic, Alyona is standing next to her mom, and it looks like they are the same height already...?

Yes seems like they are both around 150 cm / 4’11”
I’m not sure how tall her dad is or how much more she will grow. I guess we will find out!

The thing is Alena's figure skating is just as beautiful as she is. Maybe more so. Special.
If she doesn't add a triple Axel this year it won't be the end of the world. But she will add it at some point.
One more photo from Di Davis:

Her hair is so long and gorgeous!
And a photo of Alyona with Artem Frolov (who seems to be part of Team Tutberidze?):

Not sure about quads, but at least in hair length she's catching up!
The length of the hair is the key. Not a single hair longer than 1 m allowed before you land a quad
