Haven‘t written in here yet since what feels like forever. I‘ll keep it short. Aliona. Kostornaya. Is. A. Star.
That‘s it. That‘s all I have to say.
Thanks Fluture for sharing your impressions here and in the Russian Ladies thread!
As I always say, I love to read the thoughts of the people who were actually in the arena! :yes:
Hopefully her mom or Eteri will say something. I'm all for blocking out the haters, but she's not doing herself any favors by not giving the press conference her attention. I don't think the girls enjoy them very much, but it's a major championship!
I agree with you and Fluture; I do wish Aliona would stop using her phone during the press conference. :yes:
BUTTTTTT, part of me kinda feels like if someone tells Aliona she shouldn't do something (like play with her phone), then she will want to do it even more! That "rebel chic" slogan on that Guess sweater she had at Nationals really fits her, unfortunately...
I do think she would listen to Eteri, though. :yes: But does Eteri really care about the press conferences?
Still, I was just at her antics with the microphone at the start of the press conference. Maybe Team Tutberidze decided that her playing with her phone quietly is better than her getting bored and actively trying to annoy the journalists! The lesser of two evils!
Oh well, I always knew that I was a fan of a little devil, and that I would end up forgiving her for everything!
