Wrong thread..
Anyway, I need to see some videos so badly... :sad46:
isn't your heart broken yet? then I come https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVOKShIpGe/
So glad to see that Alena is recovering nicely. Her jumps seem much more secure and confident than at the show in April and it looked like she was skating with a lot of speed out there.
Better quality

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure it's her mom..Looks like Alёna's mom went with her to Japan. She seems to be holding on to Sasha here, but I'm pretty sure that's Alёna's mom:

Some translations:
The lady who's giving the introductions says that Alёna is the 2018 World junior medalist.
Then the guy says that she's the winner of last season's Jr GPF. "15-year old Alёna Kostornaya from Russia. This season's exhibition, from the movie 'Twilight.'"
Around 1:50, when she does the 3S, the lady says "She has flow [coming out of the jump], and the landing is really pretty/clean."
When she does the 3F, the lady says "From the moment she left the ice until she started rotating, she really flew up. There's really a lot of space [i.e., she has plenty of time to rotate.]"
After she's done, the guy says something like, "Kostornaia is only 15 years old, but she has this ability to create another world and pull you in. This season she will make her senior debut."
The lady says "Jumps, spins--there is a high level of perfection, of course--but there is also the smoothness/elegance of her skating and the sense of speed. The transitions don't seem disconnected; just everything comes together beautifully and smoothly. And the way she creates positions is just wonderful."
I think the female commentator is Junko Yaginuma (just judging by her voice), and it sounds like she's a fan! :agree:
Yeah, I'm also pretty sure it's her mom..
I also think that her EX makeup was a lot better than last time..
