2020 European champion in women’s singles Alena Kostornaya in her interview with Laysan Utyasheva said the history of the relationship with her husband Georgy Kunitsa.
According to him, the relationship between him and the athlete developed rapidly.
“It was like in a textbook – my ideal: I always wanted someone to push the chair behind me so that they would carry a coat behind me, so that I would come to the store and say “ah”, and then my husband would leave with the bags. Then I thought: are you really real? Maybe I’m making something up? And he was with me everywhere!” – said Kostornaya.
At the beginning of 2023, Kostornaya’s former coach Elena Buyanova announced that the skater was skating in pairs. Since autumn 2022, she has been skating with Georgy Kunitsa under the guidance of Sergei Roslyakov.
On August 13, a wedding ceremony was held in Kunitsa and Kostornaya. In September, the couple performed together for the first time at the test skates of the Russian national team. They staged their first free program for the soundtrack of the Hunger Games movie.
