Alena Kostornaia

This show that never got aired:

No clue why...
It's such a shame it never got aired, she was soooo cute and beautiful. (I won't bring up again what she was wearing...😂) Actually, I tried to get an answer on Insta from somebody who said there were problems with that TV show, but unfortunately he/she didn't reply to my question asking what those problems were... 😞
 
Kostornaya in the "Pirouette" Magazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CHORgHbpfwR/ she gave it when Tatjana Flade was at the Plushenko Academy probably one month ago
Cost:
"There were some problems. Athletes like me, Anna and Kamila can’t train together with children born in 2010. You have to explain to them that the older girls will not be considerate. My suggestions were not accepted. So I called Sergei Alexandrovich and he told me to think twice before the move but he helped me make the change (to Plushenko) I also didn’t like my program (created at Tutberidze school) which I said more than once.
I really like the new program, I find the new program very suitable for me, the lyrics correspond to what is happening in my life. Now I feel happy, satisfied and ready to train for new victories and goals."

Question:

(Talking to Evgeni Plushenko)
"So then Alena Kostornaia suddenly came to you.

It was her own choice. If the athlete wants to, why not?
I have the opportunity and I am ready for it. She wasn’t quite ready for the test skates, we’ve only been training together for a month. Before that, she had lost her whole form, she hadn’t trained in her old group (at Tutberidze) for 3 weeks. They wouldn’t let her go, it was like this.
So a lot of time was lost and we had to create a program in 1 month until the test skates and get (Aliona) back into shape. She did a lot of work.
Now we are bringing back the 3A, building a free skate, running the short program & sewing costumes."
 
Does anyone have the channel 1 link to watch today?
 
Well, that was definitely not Aliona's best performance, but I'm glad she looked happy in the K&C! :love:
The program definitely looks a lot fuller now, and the step sequence was 🔥 !

I'm like Aliona's biggest fan, but even I thought that she'd be below Maya...the Aliona critics are going to have a field day with the scores... :slink:

Ignore the critics and stay strong, Aliona! :hap10:
 
The best part was watching her remain happy even after a not-so-perfect skate. That would have never happened under Eteri LOL. Anyway, despite the mistakes, it's clear that she's still in great form, everything looked round and she seems to be in good health. That 2A was MARVELOUS :clap:
 
I’m not going to refresh this page since I just started watching and I want the suspense lol. BUT! Watching the warm ups of Sasha, Maia, and Aliona all next together really shows how soft she lands. Her jumps are so smooth.
 
Her 2A is one of the best I've ever seen! 😍 And the way she improvised to hide the step-out on the combo - honestly, the presence of mind that requires, great! Her PCS were a bit low but I'm overall just so happy to have her back.
 
Her presence on the ice is still the more marvelous thing skating has to offer now.
The Lutz was 🔥 (great clear edge) and the 2A marvelous (also I love the inna bauer entry because is sosmooth)
I'm not worried about the combo: it just happens

Seeing exiting the ice with a smile, I had the confirmation of one thing I noticed a lot in the short videos we had till now: she's happy there with Rozanov and Plushenko.
They probably see skating more the way she see it, and she seems much more the girl I met and observed with other people at Passion Gala.
She looks a lot more herself at K&C.
Maybe it's not just them: she's just growing up and being herself with more confidence in every situation influencing the environment around her.
 
The 2A was humongous 😍 and the 3F was so big and she had so much air time that it almost looked like a double.

This is only her first outing after changing coaches, she didn't even have test skates so I'd say it's looking very promising.

Not expecting too much for this comp, but I hope she brings it at stage 5 when she's up against Valieva. 🙏
