Elena Radionova

Some sweet words from Lena about Mao: :agree:

As for Elena Radionova, well, she’s been admiring Mao for some time now – and, during the press conference, she said it once again: “I really adore Mao, because Mao has been in the sport for so long, so she really deserves my utmost respect”.

Sorry for the double post, but I just realized it's Lena's birthday now (in Moscow time), so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENA!!! :yahoo: :hap57: :hap93:

There are a bunch of cute birthday posts on Instagram...here's some of them:

Also, someone posted this, and I couldn't believe how small Lena was at Skate America 2014! :eek:

I guess she was shorter than Liza, and not that long ago! And now, look, she has to bend down SO MUCH to match Liza's height:

Seriously, what have they been feeding her??!! :eekn:
 
Happy birthday!!! We all hope this will be your best year yet! :yahoo:

Re Batuschan: her Wiki page lists her height as 5' 4 1/2". Before, it said she was 5' 1", so while it seems like she grew a foot it was actually three inches...garden-variety teenage growth spurt right there. But that makes it all the more impressive that she's kept her jumps! :biggrin:

Lena looks tall. During COC, I was shock to see that she's not actually "that" tall when standing with other skaters, specially when they line up in Galas hahaha~


Happy Birthday Lena!! :love::hb:

You're right, Layback11!

I guess Lena must have been crouching down, or Liza must have been standing on her tiptoes or something in the photo, because at the victory ceremony, Lena was clearly already taller than Liza:

So now, instead of being like 1 inch taller, she's like 4.5 inches taller! :eek:

And I totally agree it's impressive that she kept her jumps, but personally I've always thought her technique was solid. Unusual, but solid... :agree:
 
Jan 6 is also Liza Yuschenko's birthday (they both train with Inna Goncharenko). Here's a photo of them with Inna, as well as Anton Sikharulidze (Olympic gold medal-wining pairs skater):

And Lena received a doll from TAT!
