Elena doesn't like to be in the spotlight. There are bigger and stronger personalities on the team and she is more than happy to let them shine. However, she is a big part of the team and with the year she just had, she understands that the team would be interested in using her in marketing material more. She was never hostile to the idea because she knows as a professional athlete, it's something that is expected of her and she can't just take what she likes about that career and not do the rest but this season has been particularly intense. The team was very helpful in helping her navigate her newfound superstardom after flying more under the radar for many years, even going as far as to providing a coach to help her answer media questions from journalists who are suddenly very interested in her. She finds comfort in having premade answers she can use when she has nothing interesting to say.
