Double world champion, double Olympic silver medalist Eugenie Medvedeva admitted she was not surprised by the reports on the European champion’s transition Alena Kostornaya in pair skating.
Earlier, former Kostornaya coach Elena Buyanova told RIA Novosti Sport that Alena got into pair skating with coach Sergei Roslyakov.
– How do you like Alena Kostornaya’s transition to pair skating? Surprised?
– No, I wasn’t surprised. Especially when I saw his triple throw. It immediately became clear that she would try in pairs. What season haven’t we seen her in major competitions, even Russian ones, so if she has the enthusiasm to continue to develop in figure skating, albeit in a different form, why not? Moreover, if it works,” Medvedeva told .
Kostornaya, 19, won gold in the Junior Grand Prix Final (2018) and the Grand Prix Final of the 2019/2020 season. In the spring of 2022, Alena stopped working with coach Eteri Tutberidze and came under the leadership of Elena Buyanova.
