Hard Blow!
But clean and direct.
Not shady, not offensive, not involving 3rd parties.
Also to be noted she said that nobody restricted her from replying on social media: she simple refused to enter the blaming game.
The paradox here is that this come from the 17 years old.

What we can read in: Aliona does not consider herself less than Eteri.
Do you remember when she said long ago "If Eteri tells me to do something on the ice I do it with no esitation, but if we are talking about something else she's just another person with an opinion" (not literal)



And here guys we have a simple and clear explaination of the "black list".
It was not directed to her potential rivals, it was not direct to other senior or top junior girls, it was against noboby.
Her request was simply for a better training enviroment (in her opinion) but somebody else twisted it on the media as a black list with actual names.
(again who looks like the immature kid here)


Other translations state that the reply to her requests where more "no" than "yes".
That reinforces my opinion that Eteri, who is a fantastic coach, fail to change her relation with growing up skaters.
In other words, while relating herself to the skater she seems to be the perfect teacher but fails to become the perfect mentor when the girls become more inquisitive and difficult to manage because they pretend a more balanced relation with the coach

From what I read she didn’t say „more no-s than yes“, she said „sometimes it was a yes, sometimes it was a no“.
 
I'll have to post more later, but all I can say now, is OMG ALIONA AND SHAE-LYNN BOURNE!!! :eeking: :yahoo: :hap93:

As soon as I heard Aliona would be working with a North American choreographer, I was hoping it'd be Shae-Lynn, since she did some great work for Lena Radionova (another fave of mine), so I'm SUPER EXCITED!!! Can't wait to see what she comes up with!! :party2:

I read that „sometimes it was a yes, sometimes it was a no“ followed by more no that yes if my memory is not failing me ;)
Anyway, balance count doesn't mean so much.
Any request has a "weight" depending of how important it is for the skater and how important it is perceived by the coach and when the 2 weights differ a lot, trouble is coming

It seems it's true. I don't like this "working with a North American choreographer" at all. I don't think it will suit her. Well I'll be her fan for ever but I'm really really concerned at this point of her career. :scratch2:

This is official and Shae-Lynn Bourne will choreograph Alena's new FS program!

https://www.fsrussia.ru/news/5108-alena-kostornaya-ne-vystupit-na-prokatakh-s-proizvol-noj-programmoj.html

via Google translation:

Alena Kostornaya will not perform at the open skates with an arbitrary program. As the coach of the figure skater Evgeni Plushenko said, Alena's free program is not yet ready.

“Alena's free program is still raw, so we skated only a short one. It is unrealistic to prepare and show both programs in such a short time that Alena came to us. Shae-Lynn Bourne will stage the free program for Alena via Skype, remotely. It was my idea to try with Shae-Lynn, immediately contacted her by phone. We have known She-Lynn for a long time, she gladly agreed. Of course, Shae-Lynn would have come to us, staged and worked in Moscow, but because of the pandemic it did not work out, I had to start the production remotely. I think when all restrictions are lifted, we will invite Shae-Lynn to Moscow by all means, ”commented Evgeni Plushenko.

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SHAE!
I don't want to put it this way but she honestly deserves a unique sassy program, not some scrappy mass production, which, unfortunately, many Eteri girls have no choice but to skate to. Sorry Daniil G. My apologies.;)
 
I think Aliona will make a Billie Eilish program work in the end. Since this is not an olympic season, she has enough time for creative and fun program she wants.
Getting SLB sounds amazing, I liked her programs in past years. I think Aliona will go with her gut and feeling this season, and probably lean to something more classical towards Olympics.
 
What is this about Aliona skating with injections? For real? It's only test skates there was no reason for her to skate in this event like it was the Olympics or World Championships.

Aliona was the best ladies skater in the world last year. We know she is great and was great with TT and will be great with PA . But she had nothing to prove in test skates even though she is with her new team. Why risk skating with an injury when you don't have to?

That said I hope she heals up soon and has a great season whatever the season is.

How long have they all been away of competition?
Any Athlete of any sport would want to race, any musician, dancer, actor would want to perform at the first chance after such a forced stop.
Here is when the medical team should intervene id necessary.
I hope it was something that could get further dagamed skating with an injection, but if she's currently training I think it should be ok.

Aliona (like Anya and Sasha) does not need the test skate to make the national team.
Even an idiot will be smart enough to go all in on them even if it would mean waiting for a recovery.
But I've been both an (amateur) bicycle racer and musician, and competition an playing in front of an audience are fuel for the soul.
They mean sacrifice, but as your body will do anything to breath you will do anything for those sensations and emotions.

Maybe in your country. But in Russia after Aliona's scandalous switch if they wouldn't have showed anything the media and many Eteri fans would have made a new scandal again. Everybody, I repeat everybody would have told opinion : Kostornaya is out of shape, she is over she is nothing without Eteri, etc. :laugh:
 
I can't stop looking at this pose since saturday
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFd5fRIWy4/

Is so Iconic :luv17:
Perfect balance where balance seems impossible
So dynamic and yet a moment that seems it could last forever.
A talented sculptor could never match it: only a magician could capture that magic

Aliona is more :love::hap10:

Aliona can make anything look graceful, even when she’s not trying. It comes naturally to her. There are some people who are just born with it.
