Great job Alena!
To be honest though, I wonder how she feels about being narrowly defeated by her teammate Trusova again.

Actually it's not that difficult to explain. For example, we have skaters who know how to work with their face, with eye contact; they have connection with the audience, with judges.
Like Zhenia, for example?
Like Zhenia, like Alena Kostornaia, like Anna Shcherbakova. In this case you can build your choreography on this communication, create a dialogue.

I think Alena will win the silver this time around as Trusova's quad is looking steady. To me Alena is a much more complete skater but congrats to Sasha when/if she lands the quad. Huge feat.
