Alina Zagitova

[Finley]

Thanks Finley for sharing this wonderful video
To be honest, I burst out crying when I saw she left without hesitation. Alina said what she want to say and did what she want to do.
The press conference really sucks. I think 1tv and media were excited to see such dramatic moment, but for these two girls, this is not a good sign (to be exactly, not good for the other girl). This competition was supposed to be entertaining and relaxing. I think Alina did a great job because she really enjoyed it and brought positive mood to her team. I don't think she cares too much about the honor and trophy, she gave a lesson to the other girl on press conference. As an athlete, you should respect your rivals and competition results. What really made me cry is that, she should do that right after Olympics, but she never spoke for herself. She really suffered a lot but never blamed others. She understood everything but chose silence back in 2018. Now she finally grows up, becomes confident and powerful, she's not afraid of authorities and media anymore.
If anyone called her evil person based on press conference , I think they begin to accept a fact that Alina is strong, aggressive and persuasive. She is a successful powerful young woman, her domination makes these people feel threatened

You said everything I felt. The competition was such a fun tournament until the press conference.

In 2018 Alina chose silence. It was a wise choice. It killed me a little bit that neither her coaches nor her parents spoke out for her. In hindsight, it was probably the best decision. Feeding a toxic situation just adds to it.

What a difference three years makes.

Bringing it back to the positive -

I'm always happy for Alina, but I am so happy for this whole team. And not just my favorite skaters that I've watched for years, but especially the skaters that I barely even knew their names before this tournament. I feel like this experience meant a lot to them. This has been one tough season for everyone.

As for Lisa Khudaiberdieva, I'm just going to post a link to her instagram because she has 4 posts about the team and this tournament! Of course she does! Alina hasn't even managed one yet. This girl was definitely one of the highlights of the tournament in the K&C and on the ice. She and Alina together were the show within the show for me.

We are the best captain Alina Ilnazovna #teamalina #teamzagitova # team

I think Alina was taking this event for what it is: a fun team competition, and she was rooting and supporting her team, but wasn’t taking all of this as her personal win or loss. Don’t know if that can be said about everyone.
This shows her maturity and I absolutely love how she spoke out and was insistent that her team won. It wasn’t as much for herself, but more for the people with whom she spent those 3 days, she didn’t want their win to be unnoticed.
So proud of this little girl, who keeps her head high and knows how to respond with dignity.

She was really invested in her team and making it the most positive, fun experience possible. I expected her to be a good captain, cheering and clapping and consoling when necessary. I was blown away by how much she cared. Like every skater on her team was her personal responsibility. She watched every routine as if everything depended on her laser focus. And she drew everyone else in as well. It was beautiful to see. They were like a crazy little skating family

Dasha P.'s post says it all: It was a very emotional tournament. And we had a real team where everyone supported each other, thanks to the super-captain @azagitova. I'm sure you felt it and liked it. Thank you very much for your support And thanks to Channel One and the Federation for making all this possible

I saw this nice clip and don't know where to put it. Although it is not about Alina, it is about her couches and it is so nice that may I borrow a spot for it in this thread?
