Alena Kostornaia

Eteri is not there with Olympic and World Champion. I take it as a win.
Eteri has other girls to coach too. It's not the first time that she's not attending someone's competition. If the girls need her, she can still be reached. This is ridiculous.

We can be pretty sure any and all of the skaters and coaches present receive a call from 'HQ' for debriefing, explanations, praise and scolding or whatever. All the people involved, coaches and skaters, are professionals and deal with this in a professional way.

So much is at stake for #TeamTutberidzeForProgress that no detail can be overlooked, everything has to be in order and any mistakes need to be taken care of. This is a collective that strives for the best skating, the highest results, the strongest competitors, and everybody involved knows which part to play and what it takes.

#TeamTutberidzeForProgress wants to knock down all wickets, 2 are already down, 5 more to go.
 
Alena was crying after today's practice :( Daniil comforted her. Hope she doesn't put too much pressure onto herself!

Hmm, I'm very puzzled by this, because her run-through today was almost perfect today. :confused: She wiped out on the second 3A, but that seems to happen a lot in her run-throughs so I wasn't too worried about it. And she put out some really PERFECT 3As today, like this one (posted above too):

Maybe she had a really bad fall right before practice ended? :confused:

Oh well, I hope she can pull herself together and get MAD! :dev2:

It's time for our little vampire to SLAAYYYYY!!! :dev3:

GOOO ALIONA GOOOOOO!!! :hap10: :hap10:

ETA I just read the practice sessions notes and it seems like Aliona left practice after doing a beautiful clean 3A so I really have no idea why she was crying. Maybe relief. :biggrin:

She's a very sensitive person, it seems, and a perfectionist, which is a always a tough thing to combine. Hopefully she can learn to manage it in the future. Getting stressed out this much can't work out long term. But fingers crossed for today, for now! You can do it, Aliona!

And Alina's reaction was really sweet.

She wears those bruises on her hip and thighs as a testimony to what pain and effort it took to learn those magnificent triksels, a proud warrior she is, Alyona Kostornaya.
 
Kostornaia does not look good, he is aborting the triples. He will easily qualify for the GPF, he has no competition for silver here; However, if he does not win, and also gets less than 220 points, he knows he has nothing to do with Trusova and Shcherbakova.
 
A clean and beautiful skate from the queen.

Fs score: 159.45 (tes: 88.38 pcs: 71.07)
sp score: 76.55

combined total score: 236
 
5 points need to beat Alexandra and lets not forget that Alena for sure will get higher marks in short if they will skate in one competition

As Eteri would say, 3 falls, 3 golds, 3 records... They are the 3A...
