She seems to me nervous before she start, but damn!! THAT WAS SOMETHING!
And I'm glad Alina shut up tech panel. Our commentator (Tomas Verner) told that they made a red signal for her combo :dev2: (he said that he don't know why when all judges put high points for it) and controll it carefully, but then, agree that it was all correct!
YESSSSSS
If there were any doubt of Alina's capability it was wiped out of the face of the Earth!
That combination was flawless and so was the rest of her program! Every single point was deserved today! It's so good to see her with a big smile on her face again!
Good luck to our Alina on the FS, I'm afraid that if she repeats this mastery again, no triple axels will take her gold away
Is it just me or does Alina look more stressed out here than at the Olympics? Poor girl, you can just see the relief on her face. She couldn't even hold the final pose until the music ends.
Fortunately our instruction was slightly delayed, so was able to see Alinochka. Again, I hesitated if I should see it live or not. Goodness, I'm so glad I stayed. If there is true marvel, it is Alina. With such press on her shoulders, she managed to have such a great skate. See, people? Olympic champion is on the ice. I think I have to visit some pub on my way home from work.
I am pleased her performance was very good. Japan is where Alina does and will continue to make the most endorsement money. So it's important she performs well there since the Japanese public adores and admires her.
Now I need some recovery (typo: I originally wrote rocovery, it's nearly like rockovery - so let's start playing some rock music, We will rock you could be original ) for my nerves, for how wonderful Alina was today. So many has written her off already. Eat this, people
