Elena Radionova

I'm really surprised Elena did the interview on Match TV with Bobrova/Soloviev. :eek:

I would've expected them to invite Anna Pogorilaya (who actually won Rostelecom) instead. But who knows? Maybe she was busy... :shrug:

I haven't been able to find a video yet, unfortunately...All I know is that she said she is close to Liza, Adelina, and Yulia (but we knew that already). :biggrin:

Here's another new interview with Lena:

I was most entertained by this:
Q: By the way, you made your program based on fairy tales. You as a child loved fairy tales?
A: Highly! Especially about princesses and princes. Yes, I still love them! And sometimes life is just like a fairy tale. Maybe it sounds a bit naive, but I believe in miracles.
Yep, Lena definitely reminds me of a princess! :agree:

And some other quotes about Lena:

1) Fayruza was kind enough to translate what Sergei said about Lena during her CoR EX last week:

2) Nikolai Morozov mentioned Lena in his interview, which was translated on FSU:

EV: Who is the most interesting for you in the ladies?
NM: In the Russian single ladies - Anna Pogorilaya and Elena Radionova. And it's not only because I work with them

EV: Then explain why.
NM: Radionova has all it takes to become a world class star. She is gorgeous, has all the elements, skates well and most importantly - when she skates she projects an amazingly kind energy. It's why Victor Kraats was so much loved at the time even though he was nowhere near the level of his partner Shae-Lynn Bourne. Exactly the same reason: you could not avoid his positive energy.

Very interesting, and I agree. :yes:
 
Lena's in Beijing! Here are some photos of her at the airport:

She looks like such a baby without makeup. :biggrin:
And, OMG OMG!!!! LENA'S WEARING THE HARVARD JACKET I GAVE HER!!!! :shocked: (You can see the "VA" in HarVArd, and "RS" in UniveRSity.)
I guess she really likes it!! That totally made my day!!!! :yahoo: :hap57:

And here's part 2 of Lena's interview with Riedell:

It's old news mostly, since it's from a few months ago, but it was interesting to learn that Lena's mom loves rock but Lena doesn't. :laugh:

That's so cool to know you gave her that. Have you seen this picture?

That was taken right in front of Steriti rink, the secondary rink used for practices during Worlds. You could say I spent a little bit of time there, back during Worlds. ;)

So awesome! Wish I was "in the know" back then. My love for this sport began at the first skating event I ever attended which was the ladies FS at Boston World's. I only knew of Gracie and Ashley at that time. I just returned from Trophee de France and have Helsinki scheduled. Lena is one of my absolute favorites. Thanks for sharing 😊
 
Hi guys, may I ask your opinion(s) about Lena's COC15 FS performance and her COR16 FS performance? because I don't understand some post about Lena, a few weeks ago, being the Rostelecom Darling (late reaction :D) .. because, for me, as-a-not-so-technically-knowledgeable-viewer, I like her 2016 first event than last year's but her score at COC15 was higher.

Elena made many smaller and bigger mistakes in her elements this year. Step outs, two-footed landings, just scratchy and shaky landings overall. All that lost her a lot of points in grade of execution. A fall in FP didn't help either. In general, I think she didn't skate her programs through enough times yet to be completely confident in them (likely due to recent sickness), but this will change as season goes on.
