It is a done deal in my eyes, that was the whole point of Cup Final, Federation was clear from the beginning, it was between Liza or Alena and Liza won.
In 2019, as shady as it was, Medvedeva won Cup Final and that's how she went to Worlds.

Are you really going to tell me that mom and daughter Kostornaja will sign a contract stipulating that Alyona will skate for AoP for life? Do you realize that you're branding them both as thoroughbred idiots? Otherwise you will find the words "almost" and "probably" with me, but apparently you have the same reading comprehension as the Kostornayas.Wanna talk facts vs guesswork? Let’s do that.
- Rozanov wasn’t her personal coach, he still has other groups he’s teaching, adults, juniors and novices, and pre-novices.
- there were reports about lack of ice and students leaving because of that, so it also isn’t a fact that she had as much ice as she wanted
- do we even know whether those numerous programs and costumes was what SHE asked for and weren’t Plushenko’s decision? We don’t know that, do we?
We also don’t know whether IF Aliona did leave later, she would’ve made it out without these financial penalties. You haven’t seen the contract to say so, neither did I. So I guess it isn’t as obvious that she could’ve left without financial losses even if she stayed longer. Do we know how these clauses were written and that Aliona’s mom was aware about these potential problems? We don’t.
We also don’t even know if Aliona wasn’t paying a penny for those services before, because Plushenko can claim so, but he’s been caught lying several times, so it means nothing.
Artist’s contracts are notoriously one-sided in Russia and Yana, as a producer, would know how to draft a contract in her favor.
so much for your “facts”.
it doesn’t matter if this is Aliona or not. Had Sasha or any other skater found themselves in the same situation, my opinion on this matter wouldn’t change.
Better give us another conspiracy theory, you were already on your way to do so

Eteri wasn't there to accompany Alina, she was there to congratulate Mishin on behalf of TeamTut

Is it official or not ? There’s so many speculations.

- Alyona is on trial period till the end of season
- No non grata lists from her, no coming/going to training as she wants
- Has to get her 3A back
And small tidbit from Eteri - it was Diana that persuaded her, saying that she has to give Alyona a second chance.

Poor Aliona looked really out of breath 
They showed her skating briefly and then talking to Eteri at the boards and she was gasping for air.
