From the sidelines, Kostner had watched a new generation of young and precocious talents from Russia dominate ladies’ skating the last two seasons, but she believes that she and other veterans such as Mao Asada still have a lot to offer the sport.
“It’s absolutely exciting that there will be two of us, especially since I had the chance to meet Mao outside of competitions — which was fantastic,” Kostner said in reference to the “Ice Legends” show that took place in Geneva in April in which she and Asada performed.
“I discovered that it was a nice moment to not just get to know each other, but to actually exchange experiences. For me, Mao has been absolutely inspiring with her journey and what also happened in her life. I can learn so much from her and I think we can be a good force, a counter-balance maybe to a completely different style, which are the little ladies coming from Russia.”

As for the live streaming of Finlandia T I'm waiting for a reliable news so far. I'm expecting Russian streaming.
