Coach Tchaikovskaya expressed dissatisfaction with the large media attention to Alena Kostornaya
The head coach of the Russian national figure skating team, Elena Tchaikovskaya, criticized the media for their great attention to Alena Kostornaya. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Tchaikovskaya expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the media is determined to write about Kostornaya, who “just came out as a couple, and there is nothing to talk about.” “It seems that she is a three-time Olympic champion, and you keep writing about her. This is a student from my school, I love her very much, but you pay so much attention to her that I was simply stunned,” the specialist concluded.
Currently, Kostornaya performs in tandem with her husband Georgy Kunitsa. The athletes took fourth place at the duo’s debut stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Omsk. After this, Kostornaya criticized the judging and talked about figure skating drowning in a swamp.
Kostornaya is the 2020 European champion and winner of the World Grand Prix final in single skating. Over the years, she trained with Eteri Tutberidze, Evgeni Plushenko and Elena Buyanova.
