“Fill undeserved insults in one place.” Figure skater Kunitsa supported his wife and partner Kostornaya

Figure skater Georgy Kounitsa playing in tandem with his wife Alena Kostornaya supported his partner on social networks after the criticism addressed to the figure skater after her comments about the judges of the second stage of the Russian Grand Prix.

Kostornaya and Kunitsa at the tournament in Omsk scored a total of 192.77 points for two programs and took fourth place. After the performance, the skater said she was unhappy with how her performance in the short program was evaluated, adding that due to the judges’ controversial scores, figure skating is “sinking into a swamp”.

— Our dear fans and “non-fans”. The Russian Grand Prix stage in Omsk is over. It could have been worse, it could have been much better. I think these competitions are a great starting point for the future.

I want to support my beloved wife and partner Alena Kostornaya because in recent days you all attacked her like animals. Put all this negativity, all these totally undeserved insults in one place. Alena clearly said that there was no very clear and biased judgment in the short program from some judges, and I completely agree with her.

The free program was judged objectively. We go our own way and we have our own way. We are making history and I will always be by my wife’s side, as we are one,” Kunica wrote.

European champion in single skating, Kostornaya switched to pair skating at the start of the year and entered a duo with Kunitsa. In August, the athletes got married.
