Alena Kostornaia announced that she and her partner and spouse Georgi Kunitsa will miss next two seasons due to personal matters, after which they plan to return to competition. Here’s a translation of her comment.
“We are skipping two seasons, after which we plan to return. These aren’t just empty words; we want to skate and are not ending our careers. Why two seasons? We need to take care of some personal matters,” Kostornaia said.
In September, the pair participated in the test skates of the Russian national team. Later, Kostornaia reported that she had suffered a serious illness, and they would miss part of the season.
Kostornaia is the 2020 European champion in single skating and has been competing in pairs since 2023.
