Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Famous Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya will undergo surgery. It could have taken place in July, but was postponed. The reasons for this were explained by the honored coach of Russia in figure skating Elena Buyanova.

– Surgery for a ruptured acetabular lip of the hip joint could be performed by the 2020 European champion in the first half of July. But the FMBA clinic, which serves athletes of the Russian national teams, did not have the necessary consumables. Then it turned out that one of Alena’s analyzes requires maintaining a ten-day quarantine, and the date of the operation was moved to the second half of August, RT Buyanova quotes.

Recall that in the spring of 2022, Alena Kostornaya again changed her coach. This time she left the group of Eteri Tutberidze and was sent to CSKA by Elena Buyanova.
