“Konstantinova’s jumps were difficult, but this is normal when the girl is already an adult. But Stasya skated phenomenally “- the figure skater’s coach

Figure skating coach Alexander Volkov spoke to about his strengths Stanislav Constantinova and compared her to the world champion and five-time European champion Caroline Costner .

Stanislava Konstantinova is the bronze medalist of the Winter Universiade (2019), the silver medalist of the Finnish Grand Prix stage (2018), the medalist of the Challenger Series tournaments. She joined the Volkov group in February 2020 from her mentor Valentina Chebotareva, who has coached her since childhood. In January 2021, the skater stopped working with Alexander Volkov due to the deterioration of training conditions at the Plushenko Academy, where Volkov’s group then worked.

“It’s very interesting to see how a person changes. I remember how Stasya was like in the first training sessions: she unfolded, got into the elements, perfected different shades … In fact, like all But as soon as Martina (Volkov’s wife – ed.) set up new programs for Stasia, and she started throwing them – it’s impossible to look away!

You can only compare, perhaps, with Carolina Kostner. I remember when at the beginning of 2018 the European Championship was held in Moscow, and Karolina came to perform, in training everyone looked only at her. Whether she jumps or falls, it doesn’t matter. Tracked solely for his skating and energy.

Ditto with Stanislava: she perfectly feels the music and the choreography, all the gestures and facial expressions are incomparable. Yes, jumping was difficult, and that’s normal when the girl is already an adult. But Stasya rode phenomenally – I wanted to watch more and more, – Volkov told .
