Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya said she regrets the situation with the Beijing Olympics
Russian figure skater Alena Kostornaya, in an interview with Lente.ru, spoke about skipping the Olympics in Beijing.
“The only thing I regret is the Olympics. But I did not get on it because of a broken arm. With plaster, no matter how much you want, you can’t jump. It hurts even if you don’t move your hand, ”said the athlete. She added that she is sorry that she did not get to go to the World Cup in 2020. “But then there was a quarantine, again not my fault,” she added.

Kostornaya stressed that she has thoughts about going to the Olympics already in pair skating. “I just wish I could be there. My mother told me: “Even if you open the side there and shout to me at the screen:“ Mom, I got to the Olympics! ”, Then I will be happy for you.” And if I also ride there, it will be great. But these are dreams. Whether it succeeds or not is another question. Only time can show this, ”the figure skater concluded.
The athlete is the European champion in 2020 and the winner of the World Grand Prix final in single skating. Over the years, she trained with Eteri Tutberidze, Evgeni Plushenko, Elena Buyanova.
