Mariah Bell says she would’ve been happy to be Alina’s older sister! Hahahah, seems like she heard about that news segment, when they were talking about Sabina and showed footage with Mariah instead 😂 russian fans created a lot of memes afterwards, so probably those news reached Mariah too😂
 
Excerpt from new exhibition routine to be featured November 8.

"Esmeralda" and "Outro" will be performed. Outro is the performance to Cloud Atlas, commemorating Liudmila Shalashova, right?

Nice to see Alina skate :love2:. Jumps look fine, the crossovers a bit labored. I would like a part with spin too. The program itself...let's see it in whole, the parts in the video are not very telling.
The main thing is that Alina is healthy, uninjured, has all her triples in place and can train them at her own pace. That gives me a peace of mind in these unprecedented times. She's not in her best competitive shape, but she doesn't need to be in that shape right now given the lack of any international competitions. Had she rushed herself into training to be ready for rus cup, she might've very well ended up injured and had to heal and regain her triples again. I'm glad that she's taking it slow, giving herself enough time to regain optimal shape for when it would be important, while also exploring life outside of skating.
 
I love the music they choose for the program. The first song is illegal alien theme, it's powerful and dramatic. In the musical, those homeless people including Esmeralda, were banished by the church and struggled for better life. The second song is soft which depicts Esmeralda as a pure and kind beauty. By using these two songs, the image of Esmeralda is much more vivid. The choreography is better than I expected. Most of Team Eteri's programs are conservative this season, but Alina's Esmeralda gives us more.
I think we might hear three different songs in the complete version, hope Daniel can arrange them properly.... He always shows more creativity when working with Alina.
