Alena Kostornaia shared on Okko’s broadcast that she likes figure skaters Kaori Sakamoto and Isabeau Levito. Here’a a translation of her comment
“Alena Kostornaia: I am generally a fan of this skater. I like following her, her styles, her programs from season to season. I am happy to see almost any performance by Kaori Sakamoto on the ice. In any case, she has a great energy.
When it comes to some athletes… They jump a lot, spin beautifully, bend over backwards, and have decent skating skills. But they seem a bit lifeless. In this case – even if there is stiffness, maybe nerves due to the pressure – the energy she radiates is still strong and powerful.
Q: And she has a likable aura. Can we say that Kaori is the undisputed leader of the season?
Alena Kostornaia: At this moment – I think yes. But we need to wait until everyone reaches at least the midpoint of their maximum range.
Q: There’s news that Loena Hendrickx withdrew from the Grand Prix stage, missing the Finals consequently. What do you think might be the reason for such a sudden decline for the Belgian skater?
Alena Kostornaia: Honestly, I don’t know. We can only speculate. I am more concerned about Isabeau Levito; she also will miss the Finals, which is very unfortunate. I really like this athlete.
When I watch her – I see a bit of myself in her skating. I really enjoy watching how she skates! There is something captivating and mesmerizing about her. And I’m really sorry that it didn’t work out for her this year.”
