Alena Kostornaya, who decided to leave Eteri Tutberidze to Evgeni Plushenko, broke the rules. The figure skating transfer window is open from April 1st to May 31st. However, the 2020 European champion decided to make drastic changes only in mid-July. http://instagram.com/p/B7yqVyTJXwB Pavda, if you believe the words of Eteri Tutberidze, Kostornaya agreed with Plushenko back in May. The two-time Olympic champion denies this. If the papers were signed then, the transfer would be legitimate. But Alena, for some reason, did not engage in the transition during the pandemic, remained in Khrustalny and spent a month and a half with Eteri Georgievna at the training camp in Novogorsk. Kostornaya did not apply to the Federation to leave. To do this, she needs someone to sign it. Maybe Eteri Georgievna herself, maybe the director of the Sambo-70 school, Renat Laishev. As soon as Alena receives the signature, she applies to the Federation with this document. And there the presidium gathers and decides how compelling the reasons for the transition to the out-of-transfer window are. According to Oleg Ovsyannikov, head of the Sports and Technical Committee of the Moscow Federation, the region that Kostornaya represents, Elena Tchaikovskaya and Co. will not throw the European champion out on the street. There are always exceptions to the rule. The day before, a colleague wondered where the representatives of the Federation had disappeared. Why haven't you heard from President Alexander Gorshkov? And now, as soon as it smelled like the scandal, the general director of the FFKKR Alexander Kogan came out in the media field. Judging by what he told RT, all these days the Federation has been trying to sort things out. On the one hand, the best coach in the world, whose athletes win the Olympics, world and European championships. And now, in a month and a half, two most promising skaters are taken away from her. Resentment, anger.

http://instagram.com/p/B75zlNjpkBJ On the other hand, he is a two-time Olympic champion who has his own Academy and a desire to become the best. Better including Tutberidze. And also Roman Rotenberg's daughter is studying at the Academy. Even Forbes may get confused about how many billions this family has. Therefore, it is better not to quarrel with them. It's simple. Allow Kostornaya to go to Plushenko in the non-transfer period. But according to the documents, leave Alena in "Sambo-70" so that this school, and not the Plushenko Academy, would receive money for the athlete, part of her prize money. Fortunately, the Porsche fan Evgeni Plushenko will not become poorer and will not complain to his various high-ranking acquaintances. And the wolves are fed, and the sheep are safe. Moreover, for the FFKKR, such a situation is not new. Since May 2018, Evgenia Medvedeva has been training not with Tutberidze, but with Brian Orser. But all this time, the athlete is listed ... in "Sambo-70". It is this school that she represents in competitions. But the Federation doesn't pay Orser. Medvedeva herself pays, helped by sponsors. The FFKKR only pays for flights and accommodation during the competition, since Evgenia continues to represent the Russian national team. Moreover, Evgeni Plushenko himself said that he was "not stingy." We'll have to prove it in practice. This situation will most likely push him to find a good sponsor for Alena even faster. Anya Shcherbakova has Nike, Sasha Trusova has Adidas, Alina Zagitova has Puma. The reigning European champion and winner of the Grand Prix Final has no one. Namely, the sponsor should not only "feed" the athlete, but also help pay for the services of coaches, choreographers, ice for skating. Salary from the Ministry of Sports and federations is a drop in the ocean. The main income is sponsors and shows. But financial disorder, as they say on the sidelines, was one of the reasons for Kostornaya and her family to change school. And we admit that Alena did it in an extremely unfortunate period. However, only time will tell whether the beauty with devils in her eyes will take her.

Aliona Kostornaia, the world’s top female figure skater last season, tested positive for the coronavirus and will miss a domestic competition this weekend, according to Russia’s figure skating federation.
Kostornaia, 17, will not compete in the fifth and final stage of the Russian Cup domestic series in Moscow on Saturday and Sunday.
The Russian Championships, which are expected to largely determine the nation’s three-woman team for March’s world championships, are in three weeks.
On Thursday, it was announced that fellow skaters Yelizaveta Tuktamysheva, the 2015 World champion, and Dmitry Aliyev, last season’s Russian men’s champion, tested positive and withdrew from the Russian Cup stop.
Kostornaia won the biggest events last season — the Grand Prix Final and European Championships — and was a favorite for last March’s world championships before they were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This season, Kostornaya took second at the Rostelecom Cup two weeks ago behind Tuktamysheva.

Last season's outstanding figure skater, Alena Kostornaia, has made the shock decision to return to Eteri Tutberidze's Sambo-70 Crystal training unit. The 17-year-old left Tutberidze last July to work under Evgeni Plushenko, but has struggled to recapture her previous form and was only sixth in last weekend's Russian Cup Final in Moscow. That result, with Kostornaia appearing not to have fully recovered from contracting COVID-19 late last year, saw her miss out on selection for this month's World Championships in Stockholm with 2015 world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva picked alongside Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova. It has also prompted her to go back to her former coach. Kostornaia said in a television interview with Russia's 1RT on Saturday (6 March), "When I trained this season, in another school, I realised that I could not completely force myself to do something. That is, I understood that if I was next to Eteri Georgievna (Tutberize), I would do as much as necessary, and even more." When asked about previously admitting to feeling happier in Plushenko's training setup, Kostornaia said, "I may have begun to smile more, but not where I need to. "You can smile on the podium, and cry somewhere in the corner and somewhere after training. Or you can smile everywhere, except for the podium, because you didn't get there." - Alena Kostornaia to 1RT After two days of talks, it was agreed that Kostornaia would return to the Khrustalny rink initially until the end of the season. Tutberidze stated to 1RT, "She must fully enter our process without any more days off, and not be concerned about who else is on the ice. And she must jump the triple Axel." The triple Axel, which helped Kostornaia clinch the Grand Prix Final and European title last season, was notably absent last weekend in Moscow. The coach also revealed that her daughter, ice dancer Diana Davis, played a significant role in Kostornaia being readmitted to the fold. She said, "Diana was her lawyer. She said: 'Mom, you must give her a chance.'" Tutberidze's latest crop of juniors swept the podium at the Russian Cup Final with Kamila Valieva winning from fellow quad jumper Maiia Khromykh and Daria Usacheva. The three will ascend to the senior ranks next season, just in time to be eligible for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
