It is a very nice jacket! Doesn't have the traditional red and white colours of the Spanish Riding School, though, so I'm guessing it's not a purchase from their stud at Piber, which is only about 40km from Graz - close enough for a morning visit. I hope she did get to see the Lipizzaners at Piber! I am also squinting at the lapel pin, trying to work out what it is, because they do sell jewellery.

Also, thank you for your kind words on my previous post.

The jacket was a special gift for the winner, awarded at the small medal ceremony after the FS. (https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yQRGfJ4mc/) I guess it's some sort of traditional Austrian jacket; the announcer says something about it being in ... style, but I can't really make out what he says. It looks pretty good though.

By the way, does anyone have a link to the "FK" interview? Apparently there is one with Aliona, similar to this one with Sasha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szZ3gu0FL7I. Can't find it anywhere, though.

The episode was never released. No word on why 😭

Luckily we got a cute and charismatic interview of Aliona and Anna this weekend, but I still wish the game show would come out... I kind of stopped holding out hope about a month ago

I think the 3Lz fall might have been because she pushed the outside edge too far. It was one of her best edges this season, but maybe she wasn’t used to it.

I need to check more slowmo... taking back my word on nerves being the cause of the fall then :eek:: but i really felt something was wrong when she didn't put her smug vampire face in the choreo break, because i love that part the most it gets me so excited :party2:

now counting 49 days before Worlds, such a long wait... :dance2:

That's a shame; looks like it would be a really interesting interview. @1TV: :angry1:

Aliona's back in Moscow and there were fans there to greet her! :agree:

She looks so different with curly hair!

So when Aliona was interviewed at the airport, she said she was going to learn how to waltz, "Because we got in such situation that we don't know how to dance waltz, and we need to fix that." :biggrin:

And I thought, "Of course, that's our little perfectionist! Yes, that would be great if she learned how to waltz sometime!" :yes:

But I had no idea that she literally meant TODAY!! :eek:

Yes, what did our hooligan do on her precious day off?? She went with Dasha and Artur Danielian to master the waltz!! :eeking:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B734XuOIdHy/

WOW, when Aliona says she's going to do something, she really does!! :bow: :bow:

I really hope she gets an opportunity to show off her new skills (maybe at Worlds??) and that there is video of it!! :pray:

Yes, this thread is about Aliona the vampire angel, but I do have to say something about Alenka Kanysheva here too, because she has always supported/congratulated our girl in her IG stories:
https://twitter.com/MedKos__/status/1222199906695372800

And that photo of the two of them laughing and smiling while wrapped in the Russian flag is definitely one of my most favorite skating-related photos OF ALL TIME! :love: :love:

I was really looking forward to seeing Kanysheva compete again in part because I was hoping for more cute moments like these! :yes:

Oh well, in honor of their adorable friendship, I'll share a few more.

(There are a bunch more in this Twitter thread.)

I hope they remain good friends and that we will be treated to more adorable Alena x 2 pictures in the future! :agree:

Same: that's so "Aliona the unforgiving"

Absolutely. We all know how good friend they are to each other. Alenka cheered for Alyona on her Instagram every competition Alyona went to this season. And that photo with two of them wrapped in Russian flag is indeed the cutest ever.
However I just cannot help imagine what if Alenka didn’t switch to Eteri in the first place. She could have had a promising career.

Here's Aliona's exhibition skate at the Euros gala: https://youtu.be/hT4lJ6QI4rc?t=8540. (ISU's channel, so possibly geoblocked.) Delightful as always, and I have to say her combinations with an euler in the middle are so fast that for a split-second I think the euler is a step out before I realise what it is!

I am laughing about her going to learn the waltz on the very same day - when she sets her mind to something, she really does commit to it! And thank you for the interview video, Edwin. Aliona is so animated, with her voices and her expressions. What a charmer!

I eagerly await a translation! Maybe extra fs will do one on YouTube...


These are great! :love: :love:

#32 (the one where she's making a funny expression) is the most Aliona-like, in my opinion :laugh:
