Her FS is one of my favorite of this season, so delicate! Congrats Alena on a stunning long program :)

Daniil Gleykhengauz: "Your athletes should be certain that you're their rock"

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.

This is very interresting interview. Can it be added to the thread "Team Eteri Tutberidze"?

This might be a good example of what Danil is referring to: https://www.instagram.com/p/Be-1nBPhIs9/?taken-by=alenakostornayafan

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.

From russian commentary for her SP at JGPF in youtube
Three things you can watch at indefinitely: how fire burns, water flows and skates Alena Kostornaia :biggrin:
(Hm, great line for signature, btw)

Alyona is praising Eteri at 1:15 and 1:24. Trusove is only smiling, as always :biggrin:

It's not steady, she may have succeed on the Cup of Russia but she never did internationally. I think it will be very close and every small mistake will count. But I have no doubt only these two girls will compete for the gold - I see some parallels with Alina and Evgenia here.. ;)

The day as finally arrived, good luck to Alena/Alyona! I'm truly not concerned about scores and placements, all I wish for is another flawless skate like this one: https://youtu.be/uMw4rLO7sD8, a performance that will leave us all spellbound and speechless!
