Elena Radionova

Elena Radionova is a Russian figure skater, the first and so far the only two-time world champion among juniors in women's single skating in history. The girl is one of those about whom they say: "Golden Fund". Lena's presence at the rink is like a sign that you can't relax.

Moving from a youth to an adult, the athlete clearly demonstrated the level of ambitions, desires and capabilities: the debut European Championship - and immediately a silver medal. In that 2015, the entire pedestal of the continental championship belonged to Russian women.

Lena was born on January 6, 1999 in the capital of Russia. Dad took the girl, who was barely 4 years old, to figure skating. The father did not pursue the goal of raising the champion, the task was much more mundane - to rid his daughter of clubfoot. Moreover, my mother protested - it was a pity to starve such a small child with the cold. Dad turned out to be right, the girl's legs leveled off, and with this, sports talent opened up.

At the age of 5, Lena won the first children's competition. The event is still reminded of a framed letter in a prominent place in the Radionovs' apartment. The baby fell into the hands of Inna Goncharenko, who raised several generations of talented skaters. The girl considered the coach her second mother.

It became more difficult when Radionova went to school: after classes on ice, choreography and general physical training, lessons were waiting, and in the evening - tutors, with the help of whom I had to close the gaps in the curriculum. Sunday was declared a day off. Later, the schoolgirl was transferred to home schooling.

Elena finished the 11th grade with a successful USE, although she admits in an interview that it was difficult to combine her studies with her career. Internal discipline was required, but the girl understood that this was necessary, first of all, for herself.

The list of the skater's favorite subjects included the Russian language and literature, but relations with physics did not work out. Lena chose biology as an additional subject for the exam, because she planned to enter the Moscow Institute of Physical Culture and Sports (MIFKIS).

Radionova is often asked if she regrets that she missed her youth. After all, when peers lived bright days filled with parties, spent their school years side by side, the skater was cut off from all this, worked a lot and hard.

The girl has a warm relationship with her parents, she is especially close with her mother, who played a big role in the formation of the future ice star, knew about all the problems and aspirations of the child. She became the main critic who had the right to give advice and speak the truth in the face.

Lena was born with a vulnerable character, she took everything to heart, was very upset by failures and was very happy about victories. She says that her life is constant emotions that cannot be dealt with. However, this quality plays into the hands, because skaters are akin to actors - the viewer loves the manifestation of sincere feelings.

Elena's sports biography is full of victories. The first success came in the 2007/2008 season at the capital's championship of figure skaters of the younger age group. There the girl received a silver medal. The next year, she won the Russian championship in her age category, and beat her future colleague Anna Pogorilaya.

In the 2009/2010 season, Radionova tried her luck in the first junior national championship, where she was content with 11th place. But a year later Lena became the 4th. The next season, the skater made her debut in the adult Russian championship and entered the top five athletes. In pursuit, the girl won a gold medal in the final of the Russian Cup, bronze in the national junior championship and won the Triglav Trophy international tournament in Slovenia.

The 2012/2013 season brought Elena Radionova the title of world junior champion. In the struggle for a medal of the highest dignity, she ousted Yulia Lipnitskaya and the same Anna Pogorilaya. Without slowing down, the figure skater won silver in the adult championship of Russia, the victory in which went to Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, as well as gold in junior competitions.

Next year, the Russian woman is again the best in the world among juniors. This time Lena left behind Serafima Sakhanovich and Evgenia Medvedeva. Radionova finished the adult championship of Russia in 3rd place. The girl did not get to the home Olympics for offensive reasons - 6 months were not enough for the required age threshold.

Japan Open 2014 became a kind of consolation. At the tournament in Tokyo, the European team, represented by Lena, Anna Pogorila, Javier Fernandez and Tomas Werner, snatched the victory from the North American team. Ashley Wagner, Jeffrey Buttle, Patrick Chan and Mirai Nagasu rode under the Stars and Stripes. The hosts of the competition in the person of Takahiko Kozuka, Kanako Murakami, Satoko Miyahara and Takahito Mura remained in 3rd position.

The Japanese Open differs in that it is rather indicative and commercial in nature, although there are judges and marks. The skaters are skating free skates with which they plan to perform in the upcoming season. Elena Radionova then became the first among the girls.

At the 2015 continental championship, Elena again competed with Tuktamysheva and Pogorila. She lost to the first, and won the silver award from the second. The bronze of the Shanghai World Championship was added to it. At the national championship, Radionova climbed to the highest step of the podium, in the Grand Prix finals - to the second.

In the 2015/2016 season, Elena competed with Medvedeva at the European and Russian Championships, losing leadership both times to Evgenia, and won a bronze medal at the Moscow Grand Prix stage. She finished the planetary championship in 6th place.

The final of the Grand Prix of the 2016/2017 season for Radionova was unsuccessful - only 6th place, while the girl won the stage in China, and in Moscow she became the second. Elena did not make it to the continental and world championships, because she failed the qualifying championship of Russia. The figure skater rehabilitated herself at the World Universiade in Almaty, where she won gold.

The victory promoted inclusion in the national team of the country, which went to the World Team Championship in Japan. The athlete brought a silver medal from Tokyo.

In the spring of 2017, the skater changed her coach, although she stated that she did not represent a break in relations with Goncharenko, which lasted 13 years. Elena Buyanova, the mentor to whom she owes the title of Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova, took the girl under her care.

The heart of a charming fragile blonde (with a height of 163 cm Elena weighs 49 kg) is free, she has not yet been noticed in any amorous story. The girl jokes that the only love so far is figure skating. Even the best friend is a colleague in the shop Adelina Sotnikova. It is interesting that, thinking about the future, Elena does not want her children to skate. He will insist, for example, on gymnastics.

In addition to sports, Lena is fond of cinema, is well versed in French cinema, loves films with Audrey Hepburn. By the way, cinema has long gone beyond the scope of simple interest, the skater wants to become an actress and play a lyrical character. When his sports career comes to an end, he is going to enter GITIS. However, the pretty blonde has chances of success in cinema. Now Radionova is a student at the Russian University of Physical Culture.

The girl plans to get a driver's license and dreams of getting behind the wheel of her own Mercedes. Learns English. Despite the dizzying achievements in sports, Lena is rarely recognized on the streets, which cannot be said about the virtual space.

After the next speech, tens of thousands of letters fall on the email inbox, the excitement continues for a couple of months.

There are fans from America, Europe and Japan, it is impossible to answer all of them, the letters from the ice star are received by the chosen few. In the Land of the Rising Sun lives a woman, a former admirer of Yulia Lipnitskaya. Now her favorite is Elena. The fan sends the athlete charming souvenirs - bears dressed in costumes in which the skater performs.

On Instagram, Elena Radionova generously shares the latest photos and videos from her personal life with subscribers. There are pictures from the rest, in which the athlete is captured in a swimsuit, from official events, but for the most part these are sports events. You can also find a figure skater on VKontakte.

A number of sports observers consider the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons to be a failure for Elena. Radionova did not make it to the main starts of the country and the world. However, the figure skater earned bronze at the Nepela Memorial and at the Grand Prix stage in China in 2017. She withdrew from the American stage due to a back injury, became 4th at home, closed the top ten at the Russian Championship.

Coach Elena Buyanova did not even think about when the ward would recover enough to compete with the leading figure skaters, not to mention the young people stepping on the heels performing quadruple jumps.

At the test skates in September 2018, Elena skated the short program cleanly, fell to the free program and was immediately criticized by the former coach, and now the national team consultant, Tatyana Tarasova. The girl was directly pointed out to be overweight, while emphasizing that if this continues, the athlete will not be needed by anyone.

Skate America 2018 and the Russian Cup passed without Radionova. In the first case, her back failed again, in the second, the skater was injured during the warm-up. But in the summer, Lena said that she was preparing to perform for at least another 4 years.
