Honored Coach of the USSR in Figure Skating Tatiana Tarasova said that pair skating is the last chance for a figure skater Alena Kostornaya to reach your potential on the ice.
Last season, Kostornaya and Georgy Kunitsa took ninth place at the Russian Championship. Kostornaya is the 2020 European champion in single skating. The athlete has been practicing pair skating with Kunitz since 2023.
“She took up pair skating, but now she is completely broken. I don’t know anything about Kostornaya now, I didn’t ask. Everything depended on her, but, of course, she could not realize herself.
— What stopped Kostornaya? A difficult character?
“She just wanted something different, this is her life.” Kostornaya reached the point where she wanted to retire from singles skating, even though she could continue to win. It was a very strange act, but it was Alena’s decision.
— Is pair skating the last chance to achieve something?
– I think so. “I wish her health, because pair skating is a very traumatic sport,” Tarasova said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
