Elena Radionova

Actually, Lena is a sensitive girl! It makes me cry that he can not go to the Olympics! She is a completely beautiful person, for me she is a beautiful artistic skater, although technically her rivals are superior, they do not have the natural Beauty that Lena has! I hope Lena does what she dreams of doing, she deserves to make her dreams come true! [emoji179][emoji178]
 
Batsuchan, how are you? I need your analysis of this! Do you think Lena left the skating? I read that you did an interview and said that maybe you would like to be a choreographer! What do you think?
 
I've been feeling rather profoundly bummed about Elena's result at Russian Nationals - the country chatter is funny because I've been joking with friends that she should skate for France since she already loves Lara Fabien! - so I made this silly video.

Hopefully she decides to keep skating :)
 
Really cute, she looks like a cartoon.
It would be interesting to know what she said about her rivals younger and strongest than her.
 
Something like this
Radionova told "Match TV", she'd the same injury as Zhenya twice and she skated with it successfully, then that girls like her, Tuk and Pogo have the advantage over younger ones like Zagitova, because they got through puberty physically and psychologically already and that Zhenya should participate in Euros for maintaining her competitiveness, but she thinks Alina will win it, because of greater content.
She was asked about her recent outcomes and Olympic disappointment, but didn't look sour or devastated and replied in very sensible and calm matter. Kudos to Lena. :thumbsup:
 
I' saw Elena's story on Instagram from Pyeong Chang where she is posing with the Russian Olympians. Now I cannot find it as those stories disappear after I'm done watching. Is Elena really in Pyeong Chang? She is not an alternate, so what is she doing there? Private trip?

This is Zürich, not Pyeong Chang
 
Glad she's doing Art on Ice; working with Lambiel should be a good lift to her confidence as she continues to become more artistic. Next year is a fairly big opportunity for Lena to re-establish herself among the best in Russia before the likes of Kostornaia and Trusova become age-eligible, and based on how Sotskova's performed at Europeans and the Olympics, that's at least one open spot on the team assuming Zagitova and Medvedeva compete next season/are as consistent.

Don't know where she is technically right now, but I would consider going back to the 15-16 content with the two lutzes in the first half, and the loop-half loop-sal in the second. Maybe add the flip in the second half for good measure, but giving herself two chances at that lutz-toe combo might help her get that consistency back and take the pressure off that flip edge. I'd also consider adding a triple-double axel combo or incorporating a three jump combo to the second half as well - every point is so necessary in this game nowadays.
