European Women’s Singles Champion Alena Kostornaya takes risks, deciding to train and perform at the same time in pair skating, which is new for her, the honored coach of the USSR in figure skating told Tatyana Tarasova .
Kostornaya became a choreographer at the Evgeni Plushenko Academy. The 20-year-old figure skater will help academy athletes prepare for show programs.
– Alena did not work one way or the other. I would say it’s an experiment, a risky decision. Well, young people are like that now, they know better. I wish him not to get lost, Tarasova told .
In early 2023, Kostornaya announced the transition from single to pair skating and began performing with Georgy Kunitsa. On August 12, the skaters got married.
Kostornaya and Kunitsa will take part in the Russian national team’s pre-season skating tests, which will be held on September 16-17 at the capital’s Megasport.
