July 31, 20206 yr And Eteri couldn’t NOT remember the previous ungrateful students of hers - Yulia, Evgenia... so Alena joins them. This is a complaint that Alena refused to get out on the ice along with some other skaters, so they just asked her out. This is August, for crying out loud, ain’t it too late?
July 31, 20206 yr Wow, that I really did not expect, they already showed part of new FS. She seemed to me the most calculating/tactical one, so I'm sure there was more to it then just sharing the ice
July 31, 20206 yr Well, when Tsurskaya left, she wasn’t allowed to keep her programs, so basically Alena shouldn’t get to keep her programs now. There go your magical 3A.

That’s very interesting- in whose ownership are the programmes? The choreographer, the school/ coach, the fed or the skater? Or is it a simple matter of who paid the bill?

July 31, 20206 yr Trace the money then I suppose - if the public funds are channelled through the school, then the school, if through the fed to the skater, then it’s hers, which doesn’t seem likely from what you say re Tsurskaya? Or direct to the choreographer via the fed as I believe happens in China then to the fed? What if the choreographer is an employee of the school - then presumably his work is owned by the school. In a way the virus might help the skater - looks like there will be a long hiatus until any competition so she’ll have time to settle.

But Good Lord, you realise this sort of petulant tantrum from the ISU BEST BLOODY COACH?
July 31, 20206 yr The timing is strange. If it was decided in May, why work on and announce a new program (likely not to be used) in July? Am I missing smth?
July 31, 20206 yr If the stories of not wanting to share the ice and plotting the move since May are true, really I can't believe it from her. Look at all her messages about Eteri Tutberidze these last months. And I would like to comfort Alina Zagitova, I hope Alena Kostornaia did all what she could to alleviate the shock. I had understood her recovery after the confinement didn't go as expected, it may be a motive of exasperation on both sides (which would relieve me on a moral point of view, though I know we live in a hard world). All who don't like Daniil Gleichengauz's choreos will be pleased by the news, and must believe she will have better choreos now. I wouldn't vouch for it. Where is she supposed to train right now?
