Figure skater Samodelkina called Kostornaya a choreographer with a good imagination

Figure skater Sofia Samodelkina spoke about cooperation with the European champion Alena Kostornaya calling her a choreographer with a good imagination.

In September it became known that Samodelkina left Svetlana Sokolovskaya’s group and joined Evgeni Plushenko’s academy. Kostornaya was choreographing a free skate for a 16-year-old figure skater.

“I think Alena coped with the task very well.” Usually, programs are organized by those who already have some experience. Alena didn’t have much experience, so I sent her some music and just asked her to think of some tips she could come up with. But when we walked on the ice, we immediately realized that this man has a very good imagination.

There was no such stupidity, they say, we have already done everything we could and we don’t know what to do next. We made one connection, then another, and the program seemed to move along on its own. In this regard, Alena is a very good specialist who understands, ”quotes RT Samodelkina.

Kostornaya switched to pairs skating in early 2023 and formed a duo with Georgy Kunitsa, whom she later married.
