Athletistic / Hockey. 2018 Olympic silver medalist, Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva has shared her thoughts on European singles skating champion Alena Kostornaya’s debut in pairs. She performed in tandem with Georgy Kunitsa at the Russian Grand Prix in Omsk. There, Kostornaya and Kunitsa took 4th place.

Kostornaya expressed her dissatisfaction with the judges’ assessments. But later, the skater called the judges’ lounge.

Rodnina: “Kostornaya went too far, scolding the judges is weakness”

“How long does it take to compete for first place on the team? A few seasons, exactly. People in pairs have been skating for 6-7 years. And then for six months, as they progressed from “one guy to another, they started skating together and want gold. Well, that’s impossible.

It is clear that you have to start at some point and you also have to enter the arena, but, to be honest, I would sit for another season and train. Because it is clear from the interview that Alena is very upset about the low ratings,” Medvedeva said in an interview with Okko Sport.
