Choreographer Nikita Mikhailov spoke about his collaboration with single skater Elena Kostyleva, emphasizing the figure skater’s hard work and talent.
Mikhailov choreographed Kostyleva’s free and short programs for the upcoming season.
— Work with Lena began with a short program. I completely reorganized the program, leaving the previously selected music. Lena is a very talented and hardworking athlete. She is also one of the fastest athletes in Russia, and perhaps not only in our country. This adds a huge plus for the productions.
“Lena learns new material very quickly. She masters many elements of ultra-si, so we carefully selected all the approaches to make it practical and at the same time beautiful and harmonious,” Mikhailov told .
Kostyleva studies at the Evgeni Plushenko Academy; last season, the 12-year-old figure skater became the winner of the Russian championship.
