Alena Kostornaya explained why she decided to switch to pair skating.
She noted that when she returned to the ice after the operation, she could not perform jumps – the main elements of individual figure skating.
“Who needs solo skaters who can’t do what they’re told? I thought about pair skating, I just needed lifts. We started learning lifts, then twists, kills. And somehow it all started to spin, spin, I loved it so much.” There wasn’t that pain that I felt on the jumps. I thought to myself why not. If it’s really a chance to stay in figure skating, to fight for the top 5, the top 3, why not give it a try,” she said in an interview with RIA Novosti. .
