Alena Kostornaya: I see the coach as a helper

A few years ago, the figure skater replaced Evgeni Plushenko with Eteri Tutberidze, and now she is working under the guidance of Sergei Roslyakov.

Alena Kostornaya told how she perceives working with coaches.

“Now I perceive the coach more as an assistant, a person who wants me to become better, to achieve results. It’s my business: to listen to him or not to listen. And earlier, as a person who will stand over me with a stick,” said the skater .

She also said that on some issues, for example, choosing a costume, she needs a female look and she consults with Betina Popova.
