Choreographer and trainer Betina Popova working in the group of Sergei Roslyakov, in a conversation with , expressed the opinion that the figure skater Alena Kostornaya will be able to devote enough time both to a sports career and to the activities of the Angela Plushenko Academy.
Previously, Kostornaya became a choreographer at the Evgeni Plushenko Academy. The 20-year-old figure skater will help academy athletes prepare for show programs. Also, the former single skater will take part in the Russian national team skating tests together with her husband Georgy Kunitsa.
– Won’t working as a choreographer interfere with his career development?
– I do not think so. The athlete does not spend around the clock training, thank God the guys have free time. When you’re an adult athlete you need to earn money somehow, it’s great that she has the opportunity to do that in a related profession. Maybe he will even adopt something for his sports career.
“You won’t lose your concentration?”
– She is very responsible for the training process, she and Gosha are motivated. So far, everything is going well.
– There was no option to involve him in your group?
“She couldn’t combine, she rolls during our practice,” Popova told .
Kostornaya announced the transition from singles to couples in early 2023. On August 12, the skater married Kunitsa.
On September 16-17, the skating tests of the Russian national figure skating team will take place in the capital’s Megasport.
