Should probably disable the comments
Alena doesn’t deserve that trash associated with her beautiful skating. Really nice video though. She’s such an amazing talent and brings so much spirit to the sport. What a great season for her too.

That commentator is deranged. He writes insulting comments about Alena under all of her videos. It’s embarrasing. He also uses profanity to describe Evgenia for no apparent reason.

You can probably block that person from viewing your videos, and delete his comments.
What commentator? And the right word is "Alyona" (not "Alena" - it's a mistake everywhare in media) bcs her name in Russian "Алёна". "ё" - "yo" in English

Alena is the official English transliteration used in her ISU bio, and also by her on social media. So it's not wrong to use it, and it's not the media. Alyona is the correct pronunciation.

I have a feeling the commentators on US/CAN/British Eurosport tv are going to have trouble mispronouncing her name next year. It took Ted almost 2 full years to start saying it right and we know she is one of his favorites.
The chances the eurosport commentators will get it is about 0%. We still have Gwillem Cizeron and he is 5 time european and 3 time world champ. The eurosport commentators are hopeless but part of what I look forward to each competition (hearing them butcher every name)

Johnny Weir should get it right. But other than that, yeah. It would be much easier if it were transliterated as Alyona rather than Alena because then it would be basically phonetic. Of course, commentators should do their homework. But I understand why they would mess up, since for an English speaker "Alena" looks easy to say and so you think you know it, but it's not the correct way. Someone just needs to tell all of them that it's like Aljona Savchenko or something.
1) There was a cute tidbit about Alёna in Daniil Samsonov's recent interview:

From GoogleTranslate:
I found some fan opinions of Alёna by people who saw the SP live, and I thought I would share:

3) I especially like this one, because the author was not really an Alёna fan to begin with (her favorite is Anna S).

It seems to me that Alena is a skater that you have to see live to fully appreciate...I hope I'll get to see her at some point! :yes:
4) Can she be any cuter??

Ted doesn't say it right, but it's much better than he did at first. The right way is https://youtu.be/wRBEaHqjkAo

I think he said it right maybe once

Not perfect, but better than pronouncing it like “Alina” which he was doing before.

They’re hopeless. They also called Mariah Bell Mariah Carey so...
Here are some more little tidbits...
1) Alysa Liu was asked who she wants to be able to skate like (in terms of skating skills), and she said Alёna!! (And yes, she mispronounced it, unfortunately...) "She skates sooo beautifully. So beautiful." :luv17:
https://www.facebook.com/usfigureskating/videos/322988411684627/
See about 14:40 in the video. Jackie Wong also admits he loves her. :agree:
2) The person who blogged about Alena's SP also wrote an entry about the FP:
https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/odinokie/2340892.html
The GoogleTranslate didn't make too much sense to me, but maybe one of our Russian-speaking fans can translate?
I guess Alёna's free program is not a masterpiece, but she makes it work..? Which we already knew... :yes:
3) The other tidbit I learned from the above blog entry was that a) Alena was watching the men's FP, which was somewhat unusual since she still had to skate later that day. And b) during Alexei Erokhov's program, she went to stand by the boards to watch him (see the first picture in the entry), and then she was standing with Daniil Gleikhengauz while Alexei received his scores in the K&C (second pic).
Nice to see her supporting the other Team Tutberidze skaters!

Looks like it from her latest IG post. I was hoping she would change to the Ice Fly model because the Pianos cut off the skaters leg line and hers is so nice. Oh well - having good support and stability is more important.
