Q&A
She looks breathtaking
Indeed she does!! I love the red hair!
And she should definitely try out a bunch of fun colors now when she's not competing.Here's a tweet thread with some English summaries of what she said:
I really REALLY hope Aliona gets a chance to start in a movie or TV show sometime.
She's a star and the camera loves her!! Yes, Aliona, PLEASE go into show business!!
Aliona has always loved horse-riding, but her other hobbies seem to change as often as her hair color. First it was violin lessons, and now she's taking vocal lessons?!
And we already knew that Aliona was close to Anna and Dasha Usacheva, but it was cute to hear her refer to them as her "gang."

Also, there are some partial transcripts on sports.ru, and this part was particularly interesting...
Алена Косторная о том, что ее раздражает в людях: «Обесценивание чужого труда. С вертухана готова треснуть за такое»
Чемпионка Европы по фигурному катанию Алена Косторная рассказала, какое качество ей не нравится в людях. «Я сейчас приведу определенный пример.

European figure skating champion Alena Kostornaya told what quality she dislikes in people.
“I will now give a specific example. Perhaps this is called the devaluation of other people's labor. The meaning is this. You and your colleague were given an assignment - let's say, to do scientific work at the institute.
He does his job plus or minus well, you are also acceptable. Then you pass the result, and the teacher points out to you mistakes, shortcomings, something that could be corrected.
You leave the office, and your colleague starts chasing you: "You did the garbage in your unit, and mine was good." At the same time, absolutely not thinking that since both work, then both have mistakes. So you both had flaws. This is a team effort, and everyone is to blame.
This is probably what I dislike most about people. I hate, annoying. I’m ready to crack for this right from the guard, ”Kostornaya said in her blog on Youtube.
I don't know about you all, but to me this certainly sounds like a dig at a certain coach at Khrustalniy (*cough* Daniil *cough*)...

But I think the most "Aliona-like" thing in the video was not even about Aliona, but her dad -- apparently they have a tradition where he grows a beard before New Year's and dyes it different colors..??
I think I can tell where Aliona's devilish side comes from...

Maybe a former team mate. Or a school mate too. Certainly not Anna or Dasha at least.
Share your beauty with the world!
