“Kostornaya tries to blame his failures on someone, on the “Tutberidze Conveyor Line” – former sports director of the Hungarian Figure Skating Federation

Former sports director of the Hungarian Figure Skating Federation Gurgen Vardanyan told Metaratings.ru that he has a negative attitude towards critics. Alena Kostornaya their former coaches.

At the beginning of 2023, the skater announced the transition from single skating to pair skating and began playing with Georgy Kunitsa.

– Are there any prospects for Alena Kostornaya in pair skating?

– Such an athlete can only have prospects. It depends on her and their ability to work with a partner. Pair skating is one of the most difficult types. Although a very short period after the transition has passed, it is impossible to give an assessment.

Can others follow his example?

– Of course, because “hearths” and “hearths” are not born all at once.

– Kostornaya gave a great interview, where she spoke negatively about Tutberidze’s headquarters. Does she have the right to make such statements about people without whom she would have obtained nothing?

– I have a very negative attitude about it. The coaches Alena worked with gave her a lot. For me as a coach, leader and former athlete, this is unacceptable. I have not read this interview and therefore cannot give a full assessment.

– Kostornaya said in an interview that Tutberidze’s seat works like a treadmill …

– If she could show the same results as before, then there would be no problems. Kostornaya failed to stay in shape, to continue being a top figure skater. These are grievances, and she tries to blame her failures on someone, on “Tutberidze’s assembly line”. Who drives well, he is on top. Whoever doesn’t, either rest or finish,” Vardanyan said.

Kostornaya, 19, is European champion (2020), winner of the Grand Prix final of the 2019/2020 season in individual skating.
