Recent interview from Elena Radionova:

She is very complimentary of the other Russian ladies:
"Actually, I would like to congratulate Alina Zagitova once again, because, if I’m not mistaken, she is the only figure skater who has won all the titles. I’m glad for Alina, I was cheering for her, I like her as a figure skater and as an athlete. She’s also an unreal beauty! I’m happy for all the girls. Zhenya overcame herself, well done. Her way to the World Championships wasn’t easy, but she showed herself as a fighter."
I love that one of my favorite figure skaters was rooting for another favorite! I wish I could understand Russian to hear Elena commentate. I hope the fans don't give her any negativity, like she was indicating later in the interview. I really miss seeing sunny Lena compete, but it sounds like she is so grateful and proud of being a competitive figure skater. I hope Elena continues to find great success later on, whether she coaches, commentates, or does something else entirely different.
