Choreographer Alexei Zheleznyakov commented on the departure of figure skater Alena Kostornaya from the group of Eteri Tutberidze. His words are quoted by Match TV.
“Alena has not appeared in training for a long time, she only goes for PR. Once she was a European champion, but now she is nobody. Eteri Georgievna always says: “When you get off the pedestal, you are nobody.” In our life, everything is built like this, ”said Zheleznyakov.
“You don’t need to look for your ass in the dark, if a person wants to, he will do it, if he doesn’t want to, the opposite is true. Even if God descends from heaven, nothing will come of it without personal desire,” said the choreographer. He wished the skater all the best with the new coach.
On March 2, it became known that Kostornaya again left the Tutberidze group. The athlete said that she would train at CSKA under the guidance of Elena Buyanova.
Kostornaya became the European champion in 2020. In July of the same year, she moved to the Evgeni Plushenko Academy. In March 2021, the athlete returned to the Tutberidze group, she was assigned a trial period until the end of the season.
