Alina Zagitova

I have a question about costumes in general. Are the million sequins and crystals glued on, stitched on, or both? I’d imagine you’d want it as secure as possible to avoid getting any deductions in competition, but it would also be an insane amount of work to stitch all those by hand.

It's glued, it's handmade, if it is practiced every day, it is not very long
 
Then they must use very strong glue to prevent them from falling off through all the movement and wear and tear from traveling.

It’s strong,don’t worry) who’s need deductions for crystals on the ice rink?
 
Congratulations to Alina Zagitova on earning the number one isu ranking for the very first time. Is she the youngest to ever do that?
 
I've been thinking about Alina's combo layout in the FS again and realized she could still be doing her same 2A-3T combo from last year and probably get higher GOE, since her lone 2A has never gotten good GOE, and she isn't really being awarded for her crazy difficult charlotte entry yet. She'd also get higher base value if she put the 3lz at the end of the program, but maybe the base value increase is negated by the fact that she gets excellent GOE on her 3F. Anyway, long story short, I'm wondering if doing 3Lz-3T instead of 2A-3T is done with the option of backloading the 3Lz-3T (in place of 3 jump combo) later in the season in mind. She does an excellent one, so it's certainly possible.

Alinka Malinka :laugh: ( Malinka is raspberry)
 
I think Alina's 3LZ3T become really good. And will earn her a lot of GOE. More than her 2A3T.
And 2A3T is a back-up plan, if she mess-up her first 3Lz.
 
wowowow can we please make that her short program? SO BADASS. Best thing I've ever seen her skate.

And I LOVE the message it sends. She's going to work harder!
