Alena Kostornaia Bonus: Freeskate to the "W.E. Soundtrack" from 2020 Rostelecom Cup
This season, Alena Kostornaia skates to the music of Abel Korzeniowski from the "W.E." soundtrack. Some say she is following in the footsteps of fellow Russian, Evgenia Medvedeva, 2018 Olympic Silver Medalist, who used the same music in her debut senior season in 2015-16, but Kostornaia's rendition is not the same. Medvedeva's skating featured a lot of pantomiming, a style that worked for her; whereas, Kostornaia's artistry is more organic and flowing--she is a true artist on ice. The music's passion and likability matches that of Kostornaia.
