Alina Zagitova

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.

Nope.
I disagree 100% with this assessment.

I see a very emotional moment here for Alina.
And it starts even before her final pose.
She knows she has delivered one of her best SP's ever.

All the hard work and struggles during this season.
And she skates this beautifully in the SP at Worlds, in Japan.

Well, I was very emotional too.
So I can well imagine what must have been going through her mind.

Guess who got to skate the living daylights out of that rink? Guess who go to execute every single element to perfection? Guess who was so excited at the ending pose? Guess who got emotional and also gave the world's biggest and brightest smile? Guess who got a thunderous ovation? Guess who just got a brand new, sparkly shinning SP Season's Best? Guess who just won her first Gold Medal at Worlds?

This Girl!!! The Girl in the red coat!! The Girl who treats all others with kindness and fights hard for her dreams.

Show time came, and it was the biggest show on earth.

Congratulations Alina!!

This is like the most relaxed I've seen of Alina. She felt so relieved after her skate.
She's just amazing. True fighter. And I'm so proud because we've seen her struggle almost all season.
Good job, Alina! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Good job Alina :agree::luv17: now she needs to stay focus. I’m glad Japan is like a second home for her where she’s always welcome. Happy to see that the two Eteri senior girls stand on the short podium. I noticed that some competitors made progress with their best short saison for Alina, Kaori, Elisabet, Evgenia.
 
I was able to watch Alina from work, from the little screen of my phone, but even so the beauty and perfection of her program were undeniable. I was all teary :biggrin:

Now I came back home and watched it from my laptop...And I am teary again (omg what FS makes out of people :laugh:)

Alina's performance was better than I would have ever imagined, her 3Lz+3Lo combo was so impressive! The intepretation, the way she flew easily over the ice, the gorgeous spins, and my favourite final pose of the season (how my avatar also shows). And then...smiles, happiness, content, and a warm hug with a friend. Because the relationship between Alina and Eteri grew so much over the entire season..:love:

I am so happy for Alina, I don't have words for it. I just wish to see now an equally good performance in the FS, that will also make her feel proud and happy. And I have a feeling that a clean Carmen, performed now, so late in the season, at the World Championships, can become a legendary performance. :love:
 
Alina was so confident, and there was a different manner about her. I didn't think there was a chance she would miss her 3Lz-3Lo combo while she was setting up for it, and I think everyone could see it in the practices too. Wonderful!
 
Breathtaking!! I’m so proud of Alina!! Let’s hope she can do it again tomorrow! I think this will certainly be a boost for her. Does anyone have a clue what Eteri said to her? I know you could see her mouth for a bit of it.
 
I don't know how to describe today's performance. The skate spoke for itself..

To me, it was PERFECTION. Especially that 3Lz-3Lo, as good as I've seen Alina do it. I'm really loving the new entry - she looks much more secure and supported going into the Lutz, nice call Team Tutberidze. The spins were extra tight, perfectly centered, and so crisp. Some modified choreography that looked even more graceful and refined than before. I woke up at 5 in the morning to watch this, almost shaking out of my nerve, and it was such a beautiful moment for me. I thank Alina and her coaches for it.

I want to write a looooong post here but I'll wait till the free skate. Good luck Alina. Trust your training and mind, build on the feeling of confidence from today. I'm not worried at all. Your performance today scattered all my worries away.
 
It was amazing!
I was so nervous I had to take deep breaths to calm down as her program started, then when she landed that combo so nicely I almost jumped and screamed. And then seeing her reaction at the end, the tears of joy, the long hug with Eteri and that big bright smile at the K&C after seeing her score... :cry::love::luv17:
Who needs caffeine when you have FS :laugh:
