“Kostornaya is a great guy, she is growing up and getting wiser. Not everyone will be able to admit they are wrong. » – Zhelezniakov

Choreographer Alexey Zheleznyakov, in a conversation with a correspondent, said that the figure skater Alena Kostornaya becomes wiser and matures.

Last weekend, Kostornaya and Georgy Kunitsa finished fourth in the second stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Omsk, earning a total of 192.77 points for two programs. After the performance, the skater expressed dissatisfaction with how her performance in the short program was evaluated, and added that due to the judges’ controversial scores, figure skating is “sinking into a swamp.” Later, Kostornaya told that she had allowed herself to make unnecessary statements about the judges.

— To be honest, I didn’t really understand why Alena was unhappy in Omsk. Everyone should look at themselves from the outside. These evaluations mean that something did not work somewhere, that something was not finalized somewhere. There are a lot of problems in the couple, it’s still a raw couple. Alena and Georgy have just started skating together, you should no longer expect anything supernatural from their couple. Many couples stay together for years. For years! This is a difficult work. In single skating, it’s easier; In pairs skating, people are responsible for each other. It is not very correct to be surprised by their evaluations. Earn a name, understand the techniques, do the elements correctly, and then the results will come. Well, people come almost to the first start of the season, and they talk about some kind of incorrect refereeing… And even out loud! I think this is fundamentally wrong. So protest, but when you say that we are such geniuses, figuratively speaking, and that the judges are bad, it is absolutely useless. You can’t do it this way.

“A few days later, Alena admitted that she had allowed herself to make unnecessary statements about the judges.

— Alena is an emotional girl. I’m also emotional, I can say too much. She just realized that she got angry and, let’s say, took back her words. People need to admit their mistakes and be able to do so. RIGHT! This means that she is growing up and becoming wiser. She understands that she was wrong. Alena is great, not everyone can admit they are wrong.

— Today, Elena Tchaikovsky said that she does not understand why so much time is given to Alena and her statements. Do you understand why this is getting so much attention?

— Alena is not the latest personality in figure skating, she is rather brilliant. Of course his name is known. The media and everyone will always cling to his words. It’s no surprise that this story turned out this way. There are stories where everyone gets attention, but citizens themselves need to think about what they say, when and where. But the media always monitors people,” Zheleznyakov told .

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.
