I think Mao's too classy to say something like that anyway... more likely she'd just slowly back away herself...

I'm totally joking.
Just imagine Mao :curse: and Lena :handw:

:rofl2:

Ok I know that Elena's coach was hospitalized and could not be with her in China, but does anyone know why Artur Dmitiev was there? Does he work with Elena or something. Just curious.

He coaches Astakhova/Rogonov who competed in pairs. He was just covering for her coach in her absence.

Elena Radionova: "I am like a blind kitten guided only by their feelings"

How did you feel during the skate?

Going to the short program, I thought that I feel great. But as it turned out, it was not a state to perform. Inna Germanovna after said I was very sluggish, and in this condition is difficult to ride. Coach better advised to warm up, get angry. And in the free program all that I tried to take into account.

This is the work of the coach that he has his own approach to the student. The coach knows where you have anger, which soothe. And here I was like a blind kitten guided only by their feelings.

Naturally, I am dissatisfied short program, that has fallen from Lutz. I know I can ride a thousand times better. But then, is everything it should be. That means we need to work harder. So, somewhere unfinished. So, we must prepare ourselves psychologically to such force majeure things.

During the free program trying to remember everything I said earlier coach, what errors indicate. Thank Arthur Valerievich Dmitriev, who helped me in Beijing. In this situation, I fought to the end, did everything I could. And while I had a great experience. Better now go through such tests, and arm themselves with knowledge.

Why is the free program you have chosen soundtrack "Titanic"?

I must say that this free program I like. The film "Titanic" probably watched everything. It is very touching tragic love story. And the idea to show it on the ice came to my coach Inna Germanovna. We decided that we take not only the music, but a song with the vocals, because Celine Dion sings so shrilly. When I skated this program, I have goosebumps. Never anything like this in any other program I have not experienced. So I get used to the way that at the end of the program itself ready to burst into tears, so deeply feel the pain.

I hope Lena will slayyyy at CoR.

Just watched Lena's short. Even with the minor errors, her program/performance was . I foresee her puberty/growth spurt heading in the Mao/Yuna direction. She hasn't lost her jumping techniques, and she's matured beautifully in just six short months. I look forward to see what she brings within 2 years (when she fully matures).

I agree. I wasn't sold on her last year but somewhat now. The potential is definitely there. Love her footwork.

Thanks so much for the interview and translation! I really want to learn Russian just so I can read figure skating articles but my hands are full at the moment trying to learn the language of the country I am living in first

I'm sorry, but it just bugs me watching the medals ceremony that her box was silver, and Mao and Rika got black ones. I dunno what that thing is that they got, but the presentation was so sloppy. I mean objectively, I like Elena's silver box better but was it really that hard to be uniform with this detail, being that the event only occurs once a year or w/e. Also, wasn't this supposed to be the Lexus Cup of China? Wtheck? So random. Maybe I just have OCD...

Anyway, I like her Titanic program more than I thought I would. I doubted the program from test skates, but never doubted her ability to sell whatever she's skating to. The talking parts still need to go ASAP though.

All bronze medalists received silver boxes, not just Lena. And it's Audi Cup of China this year. The main sponsor has changed.

Maybe the organizers ran short of funds :handw: Elena I's and Yan's reactions to their boxes was priceless. Yan's box was starting to tear, lol and to top it off Elena I's medal broke, someone picked it up and put it in Ruslan's pocket Priceless eace:

Per FSU:

The gold and silver medalists got a die cast replica of an Audio 2009 in a metal color (sort of like a toy car) and the bronze medalists got a white version. I Googled them from what I could read on a box and on eBay the metal coloured cars are more expensive than the white ones - the metal coloured ones I saw were $100 and the white were around $50. Seems an odd gift to give a girl?
