Alena Kostornaya

The authority in the world of Russian figure skating, Olympic medalist and coach Alexander Zhulin believes that single skaters are an unteachable and untrained subject. However, in Alena Kostornaya, the mentor of the Olympic champions notes expressive plasticity, grace and soulful skating. According to him, if sometimes the performances of the rivals look like working off a number, then Alena feels the music.

Alena's sports biography was predetermined, since she was born into a family where her parents were not indifferent to sports. My father was engaged in athletics, and my mother parted with figure skating only because of a change of residence. She brought her 4-year-old daughter to the rink.

The coach, world and European champion Marina Cherkasova helped make the first steps on the ice of the Polar Bears children's and youth sports school. At first, the training lasted only an hour, but Alena could hardly go to them.

However, when, after 3 years, the girl was asked if she intends to continue, the future figure skater answered in the affirmative. The fact that jumps began to turn out played a role, and, according to Alena, she likes the feeling of flying. It was the turn of the Chaikovskaya Skate department in the capital's Sports and Education Center Sambo-70, coach-teacher of the Institute of Physical Culture and Sports (SCOLIFK) Elena Zhgun.

According to Kostornaya, she always wanted to stand on a pedestal, and not just ride for her own pleasure. Therefore, at the end of the 2016/2017 season, she decided to go to Eteri Tutberidze, since her charges had high results. Alena's Tutberidze team coaches Sergey Rozanov and Daniil Gleikhengauz.

In 2012, Alena began performing at serious competitions and quickly moved from the third ten to the first. At the 2014 Russian Cup stage, she was sixth, and Alina Zagitova then took 25th place.

Kostornaya calls the Russian Championship among juniors in 2016 the most memorable tournament. Then the performances of the young skater turned out to be a failure and became a complete surprise for Alena. The reasons, according to the athlete, are that I did not give my best in training 100%. I realized that before that, in fact, I hadn't done anything when I joined a new group.

At the beginning of the 2017/2018 season, Alena was not even a member of the Russian junior national team, but after winning the Moscow Open Championship, the figure skater was delegated to the Italian and Polish stages of the junior Grand Prix series. At the first, the girl climbed to the 2nd step of the podium, in Gdansk she became the winner.

In the debut final of the Grand Prix, Kostornaya took 2nd place, but she did not experience the euphoria of luck. Alena believes that you can win only in one case - having won the first, and the second is the same as the rest, and says that the athlete has not finished working somewhere and the opponent has done his job better.

At the Russian Championship, which ended in December 2017 in St. Petersburg, Alina Zagitova won, gaining 233.59 points for 2 programs. Alena with 216, 57 points for the first time in her career became the third in the adult tournament.

The girl did not expect to get on the podium, because she believed that she had fulfilled the maximum, and the competitors' programs were richer in content. Having received a bronze medal, Kostornaya “quickly realized what a great job she is,” the tournament ended and the team returned home to train.

Alena's personal life is also eventful. The girl goes to school, where she studies 3 languages ​​at once - English, French and German, however, she only has time for the first two lessons, the rest is on independent study. When there is a day off in training, the skater comes to school and hands in everything she has learned.

The sportswoman spends most of her time studying, the page on Instagram, although it was started a long time ago, is rarely replenished with new photos. Favorite subjects are chemistry and biology. In the future, Kostornaya wants to become a neurosurgeon. The passion for medicine began with the fact that my mother watched a series about doctors, and her daughter once joined.

Alena also likes horses, and now she is already taking the first steps in the development of equestrian sports. According to authoritative experts, in this way the girl prepares for herself "escape routes", which will be needed after the end of her career in single figure skating.

In March 2018, the World Junior Figure Skating Championship was held in Sofia. In the singles tournament, the Russians Alena Kostornaya and Alexandra Trusova were initially in the status of favorites. In the short program Alena lost only 0.4 points to Alexandra and won a silver medal on the sum of two runs.

On her own initiative, Alena began to learn the triple axel. Kostornaya wanted to try it already this season, but the coaches did not allow it: there is a risk of injury before the competition, and it takes more time to study such jumps.

As the authors note on the Championat.com portal, while the miniature physique (Alena's height is 146 cm and the weight, presumably, a little over 35 kg), multi-turn jumping allows jumping.

The first adult start in the career of a young athlete took place at the Finland Trophy competition in the fall of 2019. Alena included two triple axels in her free program. Thanks to difficult jumps, the name of Kostornaya got into the top ten single women performing this element on the international arena.

The achievement added confidence to the skater at the next competition, which was the debut stage of the Grand Prix series in Grenoble (France). And if in the free program the girl broke her personal record on points, gaining 159.45 points, then the marks for the short program, in which triple axels were shown, did not suit her. Nevertheless, Kostornaya bypassed her rivals in all respects and took 1st place.

And the main event of 2020 was the World Championship, which this time was held in Canada. Alena had the honor to represent the country in single skating together with Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova.
