Oh, I absolutely agree on that! I‘ve probably mentioned it so often you‘re all already sick of it but I saw those three live and they are totally different and unique. And while Aliona is my favorite, I love all three of them for different reasons. That‘s why I‘m constantly worried about them and sometimes curse myself for letting this happen because they’re so young still and who knows whether they‘ll have long careers (tbh with all the patterns in recent years it’s more likely that they don’t) and if they don‘t, I‘ll probably end up heartbroken....

In my comment I just meant that people tend to lump them together as the “3A“, as if they were one single entity, even though they clearly aren‘t. And with Aliona especially I have the feeling that she doesn‘t want this - e.g from hearing her sarcastic reaction at that press member’s 3A comment. She’s also a bit older than the other two and at the age where you‘re figuring out who you are as a person, so constantly being mentioned only in relation to her teammates must sting a bit.

As for Worlds - well, I will be rooting for Aliona because I‘m biased and love her the most. But I also wouldn‘t be disappointed if one of the other two won, especially Sasha would deserve it. Besides, I have to be realistic too. As wonderful as Aliona is, Sasha and Anna will not always make mistakes, one day they‘re bound to be clean. And if they are, it will probably be close to impossible for Aliona to win (at the moment at least). And if that day will be Worlds (which I‘m sure Eteri wants), then she‘ll have to settle for the Bronze. Which is a nice medal too and she already has two Golds anyway. So, yeah, I‘m just hoping for clean skates! :)

I think we should invite Ahsley Wagner here to sing with us about Aliona.
This is a transcript of her comment during the reply of her EC SP.

I agree with her 200%, but hearing that from a WC and GPF medalist is beautiful.

Well, Johnny Weir had really nice things to say about Aliona on the 4CC Ladies SP! Yep, she wasn't even there, but they were talking about her! :agree:

During the Ladies SP at 4CC, Tanith White asked Johnny if Rika Kihira can compete for gold [at Worlds] without a quad, and Johnny said this:

"In my opinion, we've seen Aliona Kostornaia win the European Championships and the Grand Prix Final this year without a quad, so it is possible. However, her skating skills and her level of artistry is on another planet compared to the rest of the ladies. So you've gotta have that somethin' special. As Rika saw last season and as she'll see from the results of this short program, she'll move into first place. The triple axel helped her, that's her claim to fame, that's her moment, but what do you back that up with? So in my opinion, she will need a quad to challenge for podiums."

More people saying nice things about Aliona:

1) The organizer of Art on Ice, Oliver Hoener, was asked which of the 3A girls he would invite to participate in a show.
https://russian.rt.com/sport/article/716139-zagitova-art-on-ice-shou
GoogleTranslate:
Which of the Russian singles stars after Zagitova and Medvedeva would the producer like to see in his show, and who, for example, would he choose from the brilliant Russian trio - Alexander Trusova, Anna Shcherbakova or Alena Kostornaya?

Hoener answered this question without hesitation: “Of course, I would choose Kostornaya. She shows adult and very mature skating."

2) Similar comments from Maria Sotskova in her recent interview:

GoogleTranslate:
- Have you watched the European Championship?

- Mostly guys. I am very happy for all of ours, for Maurice (Kvitelashvili). Dima Aliyev, probably, has never ridden like that. Unless at the pre-Olympic European Championship. Arthur (Danielyan) debuted and immediately showed adult skating. I remember him still quite a junior, and now he is so progressed! Girls? Well, it's hard not to admire Kostornaya’s skating. She's really feminine.

So nice to see all the praise for Aliona's skating! :yes2: :love:

I would love for Aliona to be invited to participate in more shows! :yes: :pray:
 
Well, well, well!

Artur Danielian did a TV interview, and he named Aliona as one of his favorite singles skaters!

- Who likes the most from the single skaters?

- All our singles who have been performing now and will perform are very cool. But I will give my preference to Adelina Sotnikova, Masha Sotskova and Alena Kostornaya.

He also mentioned that he's watching 'Vampire Diaries' now. :laugh: I think we all know who introduced him to that show! :yes: :rofl:

I think someone might have a crush on our vampire angel! ;) :yes: :biggrin:
 
Dream programs for Alyona

By the way, there is a contest by sport express where you can get Alyona’s autograph.

You should dm them a piece of music you want Alyona to skate to next season with a drawing of a dress for this and leave any comment below the post:

I think the most interesting thing about this is not even the prizes but the possibility of Alyona actually choosing music from this contest because as I understood she would be picking winners herself. So, if you have a dream program (and dress) for our girl you can participate and hopefully she will find out something very beautiful to skate to in the future☺️

I soooooo adored that reaction and the quick thinking behind it.
I read it more as intolerance to the host explaining to the 3A why they are called the 3A.
It's not just boring is considering them stupid and being condescending (patronizing), and I think this is one of the worst way to approach Aliona.
She acted like the classical dumb posing damsel hanging from the lips of a man, but in such a teasing way!
She was beautiful and funny to see, the sound was bright but the message flowing under it was freezing.
This girls has personality.


She’s also a bit older than the other two and at the age where you‘re figuring out who you are as a person, so constantly being mentioned only in relation to her teammates must sting a bit.

It's a age of great evolution.
Actually they always talk about pleasing the coaches and their parents, but thei're moving into a situation in which they will start to skate for themself and consider the coaches not just as guides but equal partners.
I'm thinking of Zenya here: the moment she dealt with her past and found here way she really became a woman taking her life into her own hands.
I don't know if she took the best decision, but it was defintely hers with courage enough to totally change life.
 
Here is a link to the video of the russian TV evening show (with eng sub), to which Alyona was invited as part of the team of European gold Champions.

I just connected to post this! :ghug:
I hope more of the shot would come out, maybe with Aliona alone.

Funny thing in the cover she looks the tallest of them all :biggrin:
That great stage presence from the ice to the camera :love:
She looks commanding.
Sasha also looks more beautiful than ever with grownup dress and makeup.

In the dress in the 2nd photo Aliona looks like an Angel :luv17:
Perfect

Alionas eyes are almost as stunning and unique as her skating. And that´s quite a statement.

Her eyes are magical and really bring you in.
they attract your attention like magnets and it's impossible to look away.
It not simply the beauty of the iris and the cut of the eyes: it's the look.
