Elena Radionova

[evhambeey]

I think Lena doesn't work enough. She probably got sick of skating.

Last year, in Rostelecom Cup, her performance was poor. She didn't have loop, replaced it with flip which she usually gets edge calls on it. Her lutzes were scratchy and her toeloops were underrotated, in kiss and cry, she looked really sad. 2 weeks later, she performed her best ever skate in Cup of China (maybe not her PB score, but i think it was much better than in Rostelecom 2015) she fixed her lutz, and she regained her loop, (In practice, all of her 3Lz+3T attempts were clean.) In this summer, Lena gained some weight, and she was always somewhere else of ice rink, she got into food programmes, fashion events etc... In instagram she never shared photos from practice. Probably she lost motivation after not getting into olympic team.

All she needs is some motivation. I trust her, she has potential. I hope she works hard and goes to NHK trophy.

In a recent interview she said she is not ready to give up but her face after a competition or at the K&C says otherwise.
Lena is the first skater I saw 4 years ago, she always have a huge impact on me.
If even Buianova can fix her issues will be very difficult to her to find motivations.

Lena always rarely upload photos from training. And she never posted a video of jumps from training on instagram. The only fashion event that Lena sometimes visits is the shows of Alena Akhmadullina. Lena said in an interview a long time ago that in social networks she focuses on life outside the ice. You write about what has always been, regardless of the results of Lena. Legendary Leonid Raitsin, who worked with Lena in 2015, put up pluses to comments criticizing Tarasova’s words about weight in the Russian forum. He also put a plus to the comments that Lena’s problems should be solved not by losing weight, but by individual work on general and special physical training. Unfortunately, Buyanova ceased cooperation with him.

Not just because she doesn't upload photos from training. Lena did so many different activities this summer. She got into food programmes twice, visited kids with cancer, some russian football matches and shared many photos from outside. She never shared that much before. I don't say this is bad, she did really good activites but this is just too much for a professional athlete and especially for a skater who has two new programs to work. And i think this was just because she lost motivation.

I don't know Russian so i can't read their forums but i know they know better than me. This is just my observation.

Liza Tuktamysheva has a no less active life outside the ice, also a personal life. But Liza has good results now. Many athletes from different sports live an even more active life outside of sports and have good results. Lena's problems are not in this.

I haven't posted in awhile, but just wanted to let everyone know that Lena is apparently going to Kazakhstan for the opening of the new Denis Ten foundation! I'm sure it'll be sad for her, but I'm glad she's going. TAT is going too.

I hope Lena recovers from her injury soon and finds her motivation to train again. I really, REALLY want to see her Amy Winehouse program!

 

[lauravvv]

Batsuchan - Lena skated the Winehouse SP at the Russian test skates in September and also at one of the Russian Cup stages. Honestly, it was not all that great. I will try to find a link to one of the videos later (I am now "on the go").

Edit: Here it is - https://youtu.be/z5VLWdqXhPg, https://youtu.be/gBXNatnHCQk

She seems good here. I also like that she does not hide her long hair in the bun :luv17:

I see what you are talking about, but to be honest, watching Lena skate is always entertaining, because she's a great performer. She would rock Evgenia's new SP, for instance. If only she could get her jumps back, I think she would be a top competitor again...if she comes back, I will for sure be ready to root for her
