I know! Just 1 more week until the ladies SP, and if we get any practice footage (fingers crossed) it will be even sooner!!

I'm tense for the Euros since 3 days.
I never got so attached to a skater before.
Can't wait to see her fly again
 
Anyone knows anything about the interview channel one did on Alyona? Seems like a pretty fun one. We only get to see the trailer, and nothing else shows.
 
I was rewatching Gp of France SP.
Look at the change in Aliona's expression when she sees the scoring.

Help from some russian speaking: what she says to Danil?

thanks

P.S. if you prefer to be stunned look from this moment instead :love:

If I remember correctly it was something like “and why did I strain” referring to her attempting the 3A and getting a lower score vs Finlandia with a 2A.

And being there in the arena, I can say the audience was equally shocked/disappointed. After she skated I was talking to the people around me and we were all expecting around 80-82.
 
Well, that was quite a bit to catch up on, and I am glad to see that posters here think Aliona is no diva, but very sweet. (Let's just hope she doesn't have a phone with her at her next press conference, please!) I'm excited for Euros, to see her skate again - it feels like such a drought since Russian Nationals, and it really hasn't been that long at all! I hope she puts together two fabulous skates, and is satisfied with her own performance.

Re interviews, there was an eighteen minute long interview with Aliona released on 1tv's YouTube channel back at the end of October (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjr78-7vcEM&), but I don't know if it's the one you're looking for, Annayelly. Also, welcome to Aliona's fanfest!

Definitely 80+, but I found her undersored on PCS even the day after.

Thank you for the welcome! I can’t believe I found out this place so late lol Looking forward to ‘brag about’ our Aliona with the people here. But no that’s not the interview I am talking about.

Here is the teaser for the interview I am talking about, haven’t heard anything afterwards.

(And apparently I didn’t get the quote right either lol)

Welcome Anna.
That preview you linked is around from some time, yet I could never find a full version.
It's a pity 'cause Aliona seems relaxed and free. More herself than the version we see in crowded press conferences with standard unpersonal questions.

Welcome Annayelly! Post long and often! :biggrin:

I am also very disappointed that Channel 1 hasn't aired that special with Aliona! :devil:
It looked like Aliona showed more of her fun and devilish charm! :yes:

I still have my fingers crossed that we'll see it sometime! :pray:
Maybe before the Ladies SP at Euros?
Speaking of Euros!

As SkateSkates pointed out, practice starts tomorrow!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ftRdOj_mY/

But I'm not sure the Russian ladies will show up tomorrow...Maybe later in the week? :confused:

I wonder if we'll see that 4S in practice... But I think Aliona would only do it in practice if she's doing it in her FS, so maybe we won't see it this time. But who knows? :biggrin:

The practice schedule is really not good for the ladies at all. As I mentioned before if they don’t arrive until later this week they don’t even get to practice on the main rink before the 6 min warmup during the SP. it’s making me nervous for how it will affect Aliona and all the competitors. I guess we will find out soon enough what decision they made about practices. I would assume we won’t see them Monday but maybe Tuesday at the earliest if they want to get time on the main rink?

I'm torn between wanting to see the 4S this season, and wanting her to play it safe, and retain her reputation for consistent, secure jumps. I know she and her team will do whatever is best for her, but I still feel nerves about whichever route she takes. I suppose we may have some indication of what is to come at practice.


Oh wow! That dress looks good in red. I might even prefer it to the blue!

The practice schedule sounds very odd. I hope that whatever decision they make, it turns out for the best. I would love to see Aliona at practice today or tomorrow, because getting used to the rink before the SP warmup seems a good idea, buuut I have no clue how to prepare for an ice skating competition, and Team Tutberidze certainly does.
 
I think the team prefers to train at the home rink for as long as possible, only arriving in Graz when official timed practices start.

No need to run a risk of collision with other skaters with less experience.

The conditions at that particular venue are already criticised for being below par for the spectators, but one must assume the LOC does everything to make the participants comfortable, both on and off the ice.

We'll know more soon, smart phones and social media are everywhere, no skater can move a pinky unnoticed nowadays.
