It's funny when people mention Zagitova as a ballerina, her back, her musicality, her lines are SO FAR from what a proper ballet training could provide. Seriously, having a ballet inspired program and wearing a tutu does not make you a ballerina. But anyway, I'm done with criticism for Zagitova, it's just a matter of overscoring, she's great, talented, a technicall wonder and actually deserved better programs (not her junior one), but I guess any backloaded construction would get her the same points anyway. Reputation is always the most important factor. Or politics, as we saw in the 2014 olympics.
Imho, that's why Medvedeva will win the olympics if she hits. Reputation and better choreo/interpretation with a little more variety and depth.
