Why is she not modeling yet?
Thanks! Could any of the Russian speakers please summarize what Lena said? Or at least any of the interesting parts?
Lena's also answering questions tomorrow (via some kind of chat? I'm not really sure.) You can submit questions here, but I'm guessing they won't take English ones..

Of course, one of the questions is like "Will you go out with me?"
Cause she needs to win the Olympics first!!
But I totally agree, looking at that photo totally made me want that down coat thing.Seriously, can she please get a hair commercial and a mascara ad??

YES, hopefully soon!
Here's one more photo (selfie with one of the journalists).

In the meantime, here are Lena's quotes from last week's press conference with Zhenya & Anna [via GoogleTranslate].
It's really interesting to read Lena's explanation of her new EX program--Lena for world peace!! :agree:

And here's my translation of a Japanese interview with Lena, though really, the comments seem to come from the same press conference, but they were translated into Japanese. And it looks like Lena’s answers are longer. (Sputnik news is a Russian news agency.)

…Perhaps Lena should take her own advice and try to look a little more cheerful in the secondary kiss & cry next time…
Or she could just win and be genuinely happy!

Here’s the summary of the Radio Mayak interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R4KYOeiJIQ
At first she talks about how everyone is talking about her height. She grew 7 cm this year.
She was not aiming for a medal at the Euros, she just wanted to execute everything that was planned cleanly. She says it was a successful skate (though she was obviously unhappy, but she’s not gonna talk about that ).
She doesn’t like “fake” (those trained with a choreographer) emotions on ice. She likes skating from her soul.
Competition is healthy for the sport. Russian ladies are on the rise and she thinks this boom is unprecedented in history (interviewers agree).
Male interviewer: I don’t follow FS but even I can already name 6 last names of the Russian girls lol.
Female interviewer: Wow I don’t even know who to root for. For me the Rus Nats was an “I love everyone” sort of thing.
Mi: for casual fans it doesn’t really matter who places where as long as they are Russian. What do you think about that?
ER: I think it might be even harder for fans than skaters (laughs) because there are so many talents and you don’t know who to support.
Fi: is there a skater that intimidates you.
ER: to be honest no.
Elena also doesn’t like the 2nd KnC and prefers to go to the locker room after a skate.
Fi: Lakernik talks about the Euros being not very important in terms of determining real standings, was the Euros important for you.
ER: yes it was. For me every start is important; I am still young and this is my 2nd senior season so I have to skate as much as I can whilst I still have the youthful energy.
She says that there are 7-8 people in her (Goncharenko’s) group.
Fi: Why does Medvedeva, with seemingly equal skating as yours, end up ahead?
ER: She puts the arm over the head and that is scored higher.
Fi: that’s, it just that little detail?
ER: honestly I don’t know what else… its better to ask the judges.
She doesn’t have a particular skate she aspired to be and just wanted to be like all of them.
About her coach Inna Goncharenko: she may look stern and strict but she is a kind person. We are very close and I understand her “from half a word”. About her clutching my hands at the boards… that’s private that’s between us. Not really a ritual though, she might say different things.
Mi: do you feel you might reach a technical ceiling while others get ahead with trixels, possible quads, and backloading (gives as an examble Boyang Jin’s 6 quads)
ER: well it’s possible to stay ahead (small pause, closes eyes for a sec)… Hanyu beat Jin with less quads.
Awesome question from a viewer (male): why are you asking all these banal things: jumps, how you came to the sport… it’s been asked 100 times. Lena, better answer this, do you have a boyfriend and what are your plans for the future? (Mi laughs uncontrollably). Are you not afraid to fall in love like Tuktamysheva and have your sport career take a slide?
ER: no, right now my head is filled up with the sport and I don’t have time for anything else (laughs).
She wants to get a Mercedes and will probably be a fast driver (hehe). She wouldn’t want to get her kids into FS. If a sport then either gymnastics, soccer, or hockey.
She says that dresses cost 40,000 – 50,000 roubles on average.
At the end there were still a lot of questions from the viewers but they ran out of time.

Wow that was longer than I thought, so much for a quick "summary"
I've seen several of these radio interviews with the Russian ladies. In this one Elena got the most viewer questions, compared to others, and what's interesting is that the majority were from men (get in line, comrades). Her smile and brightness were especially noted; she got a lot of complements.
