Aliona Kostornaia – “I want to try a quadruple throw.”
“Trying a joint triple axel would be cool, but let’s not look that far ahead. Gosha jumps. ‘I remember re-learning the lanterns just now. It wasn’t October – later, I guess it was. I just went out on the ice, standing like this, holding on to the rim, I was all wobbly, I got punched. It hurts… I think, that’s it, it’s the final. And Gosha did his axels there… I’d probably really like to try an ejection as well. I want to try a quadruple toss. Flip. I’m more comfortable with the flip than anything else. They tell me that salchow-salchow, but somehow it seems that it will be uncomfortable for me,” Kostornaya said
Georgi Kunitsa – I haven’t reached any heights yet.
“What am I skating for? I haven’t achieved something to stop skating. I enjoy it. Including I want to prove to myself, prove to some people that I can. Again, I haven’t reached any heights yet. If Alyona has achieved it, and such a question may be reasonable for her… But it’s not enough for her. I haven’t achieved anything like that.
An average figure skater out of millions who skated before me and will skate after me. And I want to be among the units”, – said Georgy Kunitsa.
