The mother of Russian figure skater Elena Kostyleva Irina told that Alena Kostornaya is an example for his daughter.

Earlier, 12-year-old Kostyleva reported that the 2020 European women’s single skating champion Kostornaya, who now competes in doubles with Georgy Kunitsa, offered her a short program.

— Alena is one of the most “skating” figure skaters, an active athlete. She does not sit still, improves and studies classical ballet. Lena is close to Alena. Who, if not her? In addition, Alena Kostornaya is an idol, a reference for Lena.

Looking at yesterday’s training, we can say that the girls worked easily, suddenly the time passed quickly. The music for Lena’s short program was chosen by Evgeniy Viktorovich (Plyushchenko). I hope that what is planned will be brought to perfection. The joint work of three people who love their work will lead to the expected result,” Kostyleva Sr. told .

Elena Kostyleva is the winner of the Russian figure skating championship at a younger age.
