Alena Kostornaia

I have never seen before as beautiful skating or anything like this, and I immediately fell in fan of that gorgeous creature.

In Finland old stupid (but official!) name for a figure skating was "kaunoluistelu" meaning "beautiful skating". Well, IMO Aliona is in "beautiful skating" and others just skate figures.
 
This is a few days late, but congrats to Aliona for reaching 100K followers on Instagram! :cheer2: :hap57:

Here's a post by the Editor-in-chief of Tatler Russia, Ksenia Solovieva:

Apparently Alina and Sasha had their moms with them at the photoshoot, but Anna and Aliona came by themselves via taxi and left by themselves, and, Ksenia was amazed by how independent they are. :agree:

Lovely words from Ted about Aliona's SP at Nationals (swipe to the right). :love:

Aliona is definitely the best skater I´v ever seen.

Alionas instagram (official) is worst and laziest ever. Updates about 9 weeks period... European champion and no update?

The less time girl spends on the Internet, the more she lives a real life. So we can only be happy for Alyona :)

So Ksenia really must have been impressed by Aliona, because she commented about Aliona leaving via taxi by herself again here:

Apparently Aliona lives not too far from the Tatler office, in a place called "River Station"...? :confused:

Also, Tatler Russia posted the solo photo of Aliona on their Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B8owxjxIZq0/

So far she's the only one whose solo shot was featured! :eek:

I wonder if Aliona will get invited to the annual Tatler debutante ball... That would be very cool! :yes: :agree:
 
New interview with Dasha Pavliuchenko (Aliona's bestie)! :luv17:

Here's what she had to say about Aliona:
GoogleTranslate:
- See other types of figure skating, who are you rooting for?

Daria: - I watch all kinds, and I am sick most of all for Alena Kostornaya, since we have been friends since childhood. I always worry and support her. In general, I want everyone to ride to their maximum. Because everyone works hard and invests a lot of time and effort, and I would like them to have success too.

**
- Dasha, tell us about your friendship with Alena Kostornaya.

- With Alena we are friends with the “Tchaikovsky Horse”. We started together, warmed up together, studied, dined, went to competitions. Since then we communicate. Alena is a very positive person.

- Daria, have you ever called Aliona to pair skating?

“No, because she is a very good single.” Plus it should be a personal choice.

I'm always glad that Aliona has such a great best friend like Dasha. :yes: And I'm super happy they'll most likely be at Worlds together! :agree:

Dasha also said that she shared a room with Aliona at Euros, which REALLY confused me because Anna said that she was supposed to be sharing a room with Aliona, except that she stayed with her parents for most of the time. :confused: Maybe they had a triple room?

Dasha and Denis are apparently going to Vienna to attend a ball at the end of May... That would be very cool if Aliona go to go too! :agree:

Japanese interview with Jackie Wong:
https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/842533?page=3

He was asked to compare Rika and Aliona, and he said, "If we compare Kihira and Kostornaia's jumps, then Kostornaia wins in terms of speed and height. That's where she earns GOE. However, in terms of correctness of the lutz edge, then Kihira has a clearer outside edge."

**

Also, Eteri did a Japanese interview, and she was asked about the 3 A's:
https://post.tv-asahi.co.jp/post-111873/

She said that they're all different in terms of personality, and that "Aliona is a girly girl, so when things don't go well, she cries or gets mad."

Yep, we definitely see that in the practices! :yes:

That reminds of the behind-the-scenes video at Euros, when Daniil said that if Aliona had been laughing and joking around at practice, they would've panicked! :rofl:

Little scoundrel Google as always naughty :laugh:

In Russian we call "skates" - "коньки" - "little horses". Our ancestors came up with this name probably because "horse" was synonymous with speed for them.

So "Конек Чайковской" it's "Tchaikovskaia's skate" (one skate). Elena Tchaikovskaia it's coach of Maria Butyrskaya.


Yes, Russian skaters stand on two small horses and ride them on ice.:laugh:

A journalist publicly stating the whereabouts of a very popular minor on a social network?! :confused:

This is actually not a secret. I known before that Alyona lives "at a River Station". This is not the "place". This is the area around the metro station "River Station". The size, approximately 1.5 per 1 km in which tens of thousands of people live. In addition, there is major bus station - there every day a lot of people come to work from the nearest Moscow region. It's VERY crowded all the time, believe me (I was there regularly for a while). To say "he/she lives at the River station" is to say nothing.

AFAIK, Alyona is from Khimki

I am sure that it's not true.

and the Metro ends at Rechnoy Vokzal, from where the buses depart to Sheremyetevo Airport and all destinations north of Moscow. Including Khimki, which is a fast growing city of app 250000 population, outside the MKAD ring road perimeter.

Not exactly - over the past four years, the green line of the metro was extended to two stations behind the "River station" (Rechnoy Vokzal) - "Belomorskaya" and "Khovrino". But residents of this area habitually call this area "at the River station" (also because the name of the area is given by the river station itself).

Alyona for example can live here, or here, or here and all this "at the River station"(despite the fact that last one closer to "Belomorskaya")

In the realities of Moscow, to say "she lives at the River station" is far from "whereabouts"
 
I don’t think she lives in Khimki, she once posted a photo geotagged Khimki during the Novogorsk training camp, which is nearby.
