Not the 2017 - 2018 World Gold Medalists. How is that laughable! Go figure..
What's laughable is coming after a skater who has been unbeaten for 2 years straight, set 13 world record scores and had to skip WC this year due to an injury only because according to you (and others) she shouldn't get any attention after literally being the face of ladies' FS for 2 seasons and after she has helped Russia go to those OG that Alina won and got them to participate in the team competition.
None of this diminishes Alina's incredible accomplishments this season, and Alina is getting the attention she deserves as she should, but Zhenya has been around longer and has been around winning for two entire seasons. Skipping one WC is not going to change the fact that she has carried Russian ladies FS for two years and that the public has known and loved her for a longer time and is therefore more attached to her. None of this negates Alina's tremendous success and rising popularity.
