Alena Kostornaia

Alena is born in Moscow, so she probably lives with her family. For Alina it was harder, as she was born in Izhevsk and had to move to Moscow.
 
I don't think that was a Lz-Lo combination she tacked on as her second jumping pass, but it was definitely a change from having the combination as her first pass and the solo Lutz as her second. Nice to see her continuing to try new things :hap10:

Edit: I stand corrected - a somewhat flat but still pretty well done 3Lz-3Lo
 
What a delight she is to watch! I'm quite hopeful that she'll have some sort of Loop combo in her programs next season, if she can take off with a deeper outside edge it'll be the Lz - Lo but with the new scoring system potentially awarding +5 GOE 3F - 3Lo might get her just as many points also finally an StSq4 in the SP :yahoo:.
 
Alyonka unexpectedly appeared today at a local competition... without warmup, competing in sweatpants and Russia jacket.. I hope there will be a video, it was a sight to behold... ;)

Alёna substituted Diana Guseva - another Eteri's girl who was planned to participate. The competition takes place at rink of "Khrustalny". I guess Diana was injured or caught a cold in the very last moment so Alёna has no time to go home and take her costume. She is 1st after SP https://youtu.be/yLtarvq7MxY?t=9618 and has 6.54 points of advantage over Anna so she can say "it's easy game dude".
 
Now that Alena has 3 Lz - 3 Loop combo and is practicing a nice 3A, I can hope for Gold next season. I love eteri girls but Alena is my favorite of all.

Is Alena planning to practice quads too like sasha??

Or is she happy with jst 3A nxt season? Cnt find interviews

She's training a 4T: https://ask.fm/Kostorka The 2nd response contains the answer you're looking for but be aware that the Russian word for 'Toeloop' is translated to 'sheepskin coat' in English.
 
I am happy to see she has her own thread. I watched Alena's FS from the GPF and was both wowed and captivated. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Her Stella's theme program is simply gorgeous and fluid. I hope she has a long succesfull career. Will be cheering for her! :) Shes what you get if you put yuna and sasha cohen together.
