“The grandmother replies: “What, did you get pregnant? Figure skater Kunitsa told how he told his family about his engagement to Kostornaya

Figure skater Georgy Kounitsa in an interview with , he narrated the details of his engagement to Alena Kostornaya.

Last season, Kostornaya/Kunitsa took ninth place at the Russian Championship. In August 2023, the athletes got married.

— You decided to get married quite young. Didn’t your loved ones dissuade you?

– No, my friends were a little shocked, they said: “What are you doing, where are you going so soon, you lost the child.” If people have been dating for a long time and aren’t planning a wedding, that’s strange, in my opinion. Basically, if a couple has been together for a long time and doesn’t take the next step in the relationship, it doesn’t end well.

—Did your mother react normally?

— It was an interesting story. We arrived home to my parents, Alena already had a ring on her hand, she tried not to show it to anyone. My grandmother and I went to the balcony (my grandmother smokes a pipe, like in the song). And I said to him: “There is news. » She replies: “What, I got pregnant?” » I told him I had offered and asked him to help me explain everything to my mother. We entered the room together, my grandmother asked my mother to sit down, put a bottle of champagne and I said that I proposed to Alena. She congratulated us and was not against it.

— Many people write: “The marten is a heel. » What can you answer?

– Yes (laughs), I even joked about it. I try to do what Alena asks, because I love her. If I need to help my wife with something, I do it. If such people are considered dives, then ok, I am a heel,” Kunitsa told .

Kostornaya is the 2020 European single skating champion. The athlete has been pair skating with Kunitz since 2023.
