Elena Radionova

Apparently Misha Ge did the music, but he didn't choreograph the program. Or maybe he choreographed something and Lena changed it completely...?

Misha's post was even confusing ... but I hope to see them work together someday.

She makes a good point about how Lena plays to the crowd on all sides of the rink. Instead of good "ice coverage," I guess she has good "audience coverage." :biggrin:
Did she have a bad ice coverage in all her competition? Or just at Worlds? hehehehe but yeahh.. Lena has great "audience coverage." :biggrin:

I don't think she has a problem with ice coverage AT ALL. I thought it was perfectly fine at Worlds. :yes: I just don't bother arguing with the haters. :rolleye: Sorry if my comment made it seem otherwise. Lena has good ice coverage AND good audience coverage! :agree:

But it was clear that she doesn't skate as fast as she does in practice (blazing fast!), but I think this was partially because she was skating to slow ballads. This is another reason why I want her to skate to an upbeat, fast-tempo piece next year. :yes:
 
I assume this comment was aimed at me, in which case--I'm guilty as charged!!! I'm totally a Lena addict! :biggrin:
Lena deserves all the attention, I'm sure. I'm just a general admirer of Russian Ladies. If I would be asked to pick one, it would take me decades to even dare to make a choice. :) What I like about Lena specifically is her incredible sunshine charisma, kinda happy-go-lucky kido. So I totally I understand you. :)

I've never really thought of Lena as my personal "Barbie" before, but you make a good point. I was actually looking at Alena Akhmadullina's collection and trying to imagine what Lena might wear next. :laugh:

Told you, you are playing "Barbie" with Elena. :)
 
yes. Yesterday was our Easter for Russian Orthodox Church and all the Eastern Orthodox Christians has Easter on yesterday

Is there a holiday in Russia yesterday? Yulia, Adel and Lena posted something russian (image), I dont find any translation yet...

Yeah. Russian Orthodox Easter. Pretty much the same Christian Easter, but different dates, because Byzantine Christians stayed on old calendar system and did not switch to Roman, which is making it at least more chronologically and historically true. It's based on lunar calendar which is more accurate. As far as I know. Here I just googled for some pix, looks amazing: http://chistoprudov.livejournal.com/185962.html

ETA: they tend to celebrate it in a posh manner. Hm.. A lot of art and colorful installations right on the streets: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/московская_весна/

Some updates! :)

If you've been following Lena on Instagram, you already know she's on vacation in Thailand. :agree: Lucky girl!

According to Inna, they will begin working on her new programs soon (in May).

We will start formulating the new programs very soon - in May - said Goncharenko -. Then we will continue the work on the program in mid-June at the training camp in Novogorske".

No word on who Lena will be working with.

A little tidbit about Lena's great-grandfather, who seems to have been a military hero in WWII:

Her hair is amazing! :love:

Lovely EX photos:

Her spiral is so gorgeous! :luv17:

Behind the scenes video of Lena warming up at TEB 2014:

I wonder if she always does off-ice axels like that when she warms up...
 
BTW, All that Skate is at the beginning of June, so we have to wait just under a month to see Lena back on the ice again! :agree: (Assuming that the Korean fans upload some videos..)

I sure hope they do! I'm going into Lena and figure skating withdrawal :( :drama:
Can't wait till she announces her new programs and/or choreographer(s)!
 
Oh yes! It's not too long :) im really hoping to see "Worth It" again :bow:

ME TOO!!! :bow:

Speaking of which, here's a review of the TCC gala, with a photo of Lena:

Big photo of the group selfie at the end:

I :rofl: at how Lena is right at the center of the group, and her smiley face is so clearly visible, unlike many of the others! :biggrin:
 
Ok, no new news about Lena, but here are some random links!

Getting interviewed at Worlds (by the Japanese reports from Fuji TV, judging by the logo):

Lena always has such interesting expressions! :rofl:

And awesome photos from TCC gala:

She just looks SOOO happy in that second photo! :love:

There hasn't been any word on Lena's new programs, but given that Sergei Voronov is working with Morozov for one of his programs, I'm guessing Lena will do the same? Though I really hope not!! :no:
