There is in Finnish mother-daughter interview about Alisa and her mother, who is a coach.

I can translate it in the beginning of next week, but some points

First little bit OT, Alisa's mother coaches Iida K. and Janna J., probably the most talented young skaters in Finland.

Her family has moved to Finland 1996 because her mother had got a vacation as a coach in Lappeenranta, Finland. (So as many of you probably already knew, and you can see it from her ISU Bios, Alisa is born in Finland/TT). Alisa was a member of Finland's national team, but at the age of 13 she had decided to turn to pairs. She thinks her mother had said she would be good in pairs. At the age of 14 she had moved to Moscow alone to get knowledge in pairs.

They don't see each other much, because Marina, her mother is often abroad with her own students and Alisa is competing or training somewhere else. First time Marina had seen Alisa competing as a pair has been Finlandia Trophy 2019.

- I try to translate the whole article in the beginning of next week, but google translator from Finnish to English does ok job, if you don't put too much sentences at the same time. /TT_Fin

Interesting article about Alisa and her mother. I am sure I may have missed some nuance, so I look forward to your translation @TT_Fin , but google translate certainly worked for the most part. They don't see each other much maybe, but they sound very loving, supporting and asking and taking advice from each other!

Sadly, I just read that Ruben is retiring. I wish them both all the best, and that Elisa will find someone else to skate with!
