In the movie “Side by side spin” on the Winline channel, Alena Kostornaia explained why she and her patner Georgi Kunitsa decided to skip two seasons. The decision was made after the test skates. Here’s a translation.
“Today we went out and, basically, skated quite well. For me, it was important to skate as if it were the last time, because at this moment, we are performing competitive programs for the last time.
Because we will not be skating for two seasons. That’s it. I won’t discuss this topic further. Yes, it is related to health. It’s related to physical and psycho-emotional condition, which is currently not in the best shape. And you ask such questions that start to shake me,” said Alena Kostornaia.
“I want to… Well, not apologize, but I empathize with how things turned out. But I already said that we were at a crossroads of two paths, and one component ultimately tipped our decision that we will not compete for now.
But nothing terrible or serious will happen from this, and we will come back and be stronger, much stronger than we are now,” said the skater in the film “Side by side spin.”
