Alena Kostornaia

I think Alena's best seasons are yet to come once she will turn senior. She is Eteri's secret weapon is my impression.

In contrast to all of the other Eteri skaters she doesn't seem so tiny and fragile though she is even smaller (which is kind of shocking). She seems very athletic. She is also jumping more with her legs and does not rely on superfast rotation and prerotation like the others (also Med at 15).

Team Eteri knows how to produce quads (with questionable technique) so I really hope they can teach her the 3A which she is so capable of looking at her huge 2A.
 
Alyona is not going to spent this NY at her dacha with parents and relatives as usual. SHe is going to Vienna, Austria with her pal Daria Pavlyuchenko.

Expect some fun photos!

I know this EX JGPF has been posted already, but I just love Alyona's old SP and camera work here is amazingly good.

Bravo, Canadian tv-crew! And I lol'ed a little at commentators gushing and fan-girling over Kostornaya.

As much as I love her old costume, something about her skating in all black practice clothes made this performance even better for me because her beautiful skating was the focus. There aren’t many who could pull it off. She is special!
 
Well, I'm very late to the party, but congrats to Alena for getting bronze at Russian Nationals! :clap: While it is a bit painful to think that she could've won the whole thing if she hadn't stumbled in the SP, I think it's probably good that she didn't win this time. I think the careless mistake here will motivate her to work even harder for the competitions ahead. :yes: And selfishly, I really want her to win Junior Worlds (so that Lena R's record of being the only 2-time Junior world champ will still stand). :biggrin:

I have to say, one of the things I love the most about Alena is the fact that everyone thinks of her as an angel, but she seems to be a little devil--at least according to Daniil! :rofl:

Here's an excerpt from her interview after the SP (via GoogleTranslate):

- In this short program you are an angel?
- Yes.

- In ordinary life, are you also an angel or a hooligan?
- (laughs). If you trust my choreographer, then I'm the exact opposite of the program. When they put the program, he said: "Lord, how? Why?" But coach Eteri Tutberidze, said that I have such an image and we will put exactly that.

I hope our little hooligan has fun in Austria! :biggrin:

True. She is very tomboyish. Everyone thinks she is an angel and very intelligent and sophisticated lady already. And Alyona's speaking about her desire to become neurosurgeon in near future helped to form this perception of her. ;) But basically, per her own words, she just watched a lot of Grey's Anatomy with her mom. So... we dont know for sure if she def wants to quit skating at 18 yo and switch to 8 years of studying in medical school instead of FS.

I watched few Alyona's EX and youtube suggested me couple of periscopes videos with Alyona. She is a very lively, animated and def not shy girl at all. She is very chatty with her friends, and she has no problems to troll anyone older or higher than her. She does that often. Although in a very friendly manner. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5f7xKrj2MY). [emoji23] She is a such a jockster. One would even say she is a bit obnoxious at times, oh, well.. as any other average teenager in the world. :D She has a very high confidence in herself, that's for sure! She def can be a refined and elegant skating lady on command, or a sweet girl for interview if she wants to (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an4QFbhsNjE). But, man, she is rather a cheeky individual. :) Basically, she is so random and she can be a lot of things at her will. She probably could be a good actress too. Alyona is often a very confident of herself. And she is not trying to pretend she is a quite submissive daddy's girl, she is a quite loud and happy-go-lucky kiddo. Will see what kind of personality she will become soon.
