National junior champion in 2008 and now coach Katharina Gerboldt assessed the chances of a sports couple Alena Kostornaya / Georgy Kounitsa to win the Russian figure skating championship.
— I think they are going to the top 5 and they will claim it. They have complex elements, but I’ve already said that they lack pair skating and skating. And the items they claim are some of the most expensive and complex, so of course they work on their skills. But the couple, in general, is progressing very well,” Gerboldt quotes Gazeta.Ru.
European single skating champion, Kostornaya moves to pairs skating in early 2023 and enters a duo with Kunitsa. In August, the athletes got married.
The Russian Championship will take place in Chelyabinsk from December 21 to 24.
