Placing 6th in the free skating, Alena could improve her standing and finished 7th overall. Team Russia moved one place higher and finished in 5th place.
Unfortunately, Alena's feeling unwell due to an illness has resulted in her poor performance of the short program: she underrotated her second 3T in the combination and singled her flip. With 50.92 points Alena is in the 9th place.
On late Saturday night in Nice Alena for the first time in her career won a medal of ISU championships on senior level and became World Silver medalist!
