Some nice photos of Alena at Evgeni Rukavitsin's group practice yesterday (taken by Mikhail Sharov):
No, it's not what you think. That's her left elbow!
Smiling in black
Smiling in turquoise
Getting talked to by coach (and checked out by Aliev...)
Hope you like them!

Yes, she looks beautiful and radiant. I like her hair color.
OT, but I couldn't help but notice that neither Konstantin nor Maria are there in any of the team pics. I won't be surprised if Kostya decided to retire now, but Maria is 2 years younger than Alena, so I hope she isn't finished.
Alena got Trophée de France and NHK. It was very nice surprise that she got 2 GP events.
Really pleased she's coming to France... it will be my first time to see her "in real life". I always loved how she puts so much "personality" into her skating, so I'm looking forward to being there for her performances.Alena got Trophée de France and NHK.
