Oooo Alina's smiling wide! Tarasova must be dying inside!

Wow! Look at that TES!!!

Even if Li'l Bet lands her quad she can't be beaten can she?!

Here comes the giant bears!

Congrats to Alina, a year late but better than never! Redemption from the disaster of Milan!

 

[leilaraj]

Just wooooooooow my heart is exploding

 

[Tolstoj]

Last flip looked under, otherwise perfect program. Alina is back!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Congratulations, may you have no more warhorse programs

 

[Kissx3]

She's just a total boss to be able to deliver these performances with such lofty expectations on her.

 

[neusw]

well well well, alina and zhenya on the podium, who would've thunk? I guess all is right with the balance of the world again....

 

[Noxchild]

Breaking news, y'all: Alina's not wearing half-covered boots!!!!!!

Oh, and... great skate too

 

[Yuzuruu]

Atta girl, vengeance for last year’s worlds.

Is this possible Alina was better skater last season? Or is it choreo that is that much worse?

I think she changed a bit physically, definitely grew up and her movement looks a bit different...DG choreography is another issue being not the most smooth/fluid ones out there, more of hitting pose/move than connects them all together.

It's there, yeah, it's there
Did you hear the bang? The rock fell from my heart.

 

[Mirunna]

Alina's skating does nothing for me but you have to be dead inside to feel other than joy for her after all her struggles this season

 

[liberrhythm]

Okay now all I need is lilbet to land the first quad by a senior lady and I will be satisfied with this ladies event (besides Kaori ahh)

 

[BillNeal]

Credit where credit is due, I'm glad Alina was able to turn it around after Euros and have a fantastic skate here .

 

[Baron Vladimir]

And she got standing ovation from Japanese public. They all deserved a medal

I think its a mixture between the choreo being worse, and that she seems so so so tense.

 

[Heleng]

Some of Alina’s landings looked a bit shaky to me, but great performance overall, she should be very proud of herself for withstanding the pressure.

Well it's Carmen and she's totally unconvincing as Carmen. I don't buy it for a nanosecond. Great tech though.

That's life in figure skating for ya.
