From Alina’s interview, I guess she takes several hours in school on Monday, then go back to the rink. And she needs a whole day for Ice Age on Tuesday. Besides training, studying and host job, she has to meet with speech tutor and hang out with friends a little bit for some wonderful pictures... What a schedule!!! But she is at the age when everything is new to her and she deserves to enjoy the life.
These younger beauties have more studying pressure. I assume college is much easier
(for me...)

Anatoly Samokhvalov, RIA Sport correspondent, in a post on his telegram channel:
"Alinka still holds the microphone like a schoolgirl holding a pen, and asks questions as if she's answering at the blackboard. But the most important thing is that they don't make the same wedding toastmaster/mc out of her like Alexey Yagudin. After all, he puts a microphone in front of the Adam's apple like Joseph Kobzon and charges on with his professionally set voice. Just another minute and he will shout to Buzova and Solovyov "Gor'ko!" ("горько", lit. "bitter", is what they usually shout to the bride and groom urging them to kiss at Russian weddings)
☝Zagitova, however, remains the same one that the planet from Tokyo to Kaliningrad fell in love with. Sincere and touching, with an accurate speaking manner, with her own unique facial expressions. She symbolizes the house hearth on the ice, in front of which the TV audience will soon begin to gather in a bunch. The rest will become entourage.
☝ If only they don't "format" her. "

In my very biased (and non-Russian speaking) opinion, Alina's most unique assets are her sincerity, humility and kind of shy dignity. There are many beautiful girls with kind hearts and sweet dispositions who are also poised and charming. I've probably just described all of ladies skating. Alina stands out for being herself. I hope that never changes.
Very grateful to this man for his appreciation of the qualities that she brings to the party.
I thought he was harsh on Alexei. In all fairness, I have no idea what he is saying but he seemed to be setting a rhythm and carrying the show forward while also doing everything to make Alina look good. God knows she made him look good just standing next to him.
They seemed to have pretty good chemistry for the first time out. I think Alina could have chemistry with a brick wall. She's been a part of creating magic on the ice in pair routines with Shoma, Ondrej and even that moment with Bastian in Art on Ice. I don't mean romantic chemistry. Just that magic quality that makes you enjoy something when you see it. And want to see it again.
Alina is very diligent and takes all her duties with care. You can’t expect for her to be an experienced host without mistakes in her fist tv show. I always enjoy to see her in whatever she does, commercials, shows, competitions and host.
As a fan, I hope to see her come back one day.

Love that! Finally a good contentLooks Lil'bet brings some positive vibes, photos, small videos from the team. And smiley faces to us.
btw, with closure of schools in Moscow, including Megasport arena venue, looks like competitions might be cancelled altogether.
Alina made the smartest choice not to take part in cup stages this season.
IdF also looks at being cancelled, arena was recently closed due to corona too. CoR likely to follow the same fate.
Europeans - I highly doubt Europe will open borders for non-essential visits by February, especially looking at the second wave right now here.
Worlds - doubt about that happening too.
I'd say, Eteri often uses a simple strategy of winning right here, right now, when there's a chance, you have to grab it, there might not be the same chance in a year. That's why consistency is key.
overall, I'd say Alina winning worlds 19 was a blessing for many reasons. Including the one, that worlds are looking to be cancelled again.

It seems that the second wave of covid-19 will cause another pause for competition worldwide. We still don’t know how long it will last.
Fortunately, Alina can continue her training. Unlike other younger skaters, she doesn’t need competition to gain experience and confidence now. She’s already a mature competitor if she returns. Good luck to every athlete, plz keep healthy and do not lose hope.

Yeah - this is depressing news - and NOT just from a skating standpoint.
I've never seen anything like it - nobody has. It's like a bad movie where they keep changing the plot just for "shock" effect.
I'm glad Alina gets to train. She obviously enjoys training. Whether it ends up being just for her personal fitness or (hopefully) part of a long term effort to remain competitive, only time will tell. Who knows what the skating "landscape" will look like when we finally emerge from this worldwide nightmare.

I just read this on FSO Alt and I am 
The popularity of Olympic champion Alina Zagitova has created a new point in the routes of Japanese tourists traveling around Russia. In the fall, the skater's hometown, Izhevsk, was visited by the blogger Shogo Mori with one sole purpose - to see Alina Zagitova's huge graffiti in Bird Square.
