As much as I'm thankful to Svetlana Panova for raising quite a few talented youngsters, I'm so happy for Alena joining Eteri team. She was my discovery of the year last season, but now it's incredible how much she changed during the off-season. There is something magical in her every movement, even when she just moves in circles during a warm-up. If I couldn't see her face at the test skates, I would think this is another Alena. Kamila was objectively the strongest at the test skates, but it was Alena whose programs I watched again and again, especially the short one.
I'm glad to see she also got the instruction you presumed in Kamila's thread.The very first thing that Eteri Georgiyevna asked me was “why did you leave?” (From Svetlana Panova). I answered her question, but I don’t want to elaborate on it now

Q: What kind of injury was it, if not a secret?
A: Never mind/not important.
