Alina Zagitova

Alina‘s response: «I’m not taking part ONLY at russian nationals, that’s all. I’m not going anywhere.
I am skipping russian Nationals, because I need to recover and find myself. But I’m not going anywhere»

:D I feel like retirement talk is starting to get on Alina’s nerves xD
I remember before worlds Alina said that mean comments fired her up to do well, I guess „retirement wishers“ are going to fire up Alina as well :)

She actually get's very emotional at that point https://youtu.be/I6M3D_l0l9o?t=26

I think Alina doesn't want to retire, personally I consider it obvious.

I kind of wish they wouldn't zoom in on her eyes as if they are trying to see into her soul. However, I can never complain about the Japanese and their love for Alina.

I just read this article that is kind of difficult to understand through Google Translate. There are some nice words about Alina from the author and Rafael Aryutunian. -

My opinion is that Alina is conflicted. She wants a break, but is a little sad that she feels that way. It's a new thing for her. As for retirement, literally every single skater that has ever retired has talked about how hard it was for them. Alina will come back one way or the other because she won't be able to stand it for too long without the feeling of competition. I hope her break recharges her and inspires her.

Happy Birthday to Sabina! That video is the sweetest thing ever!
 
Whatever she decides to do I wish her the very best for the future. I will never forget how the cute little red ballerina lightened my mood a bit when I was hospitalized and very ill during the Olympics and was in bed watching the Olympics on my computer.

Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova said she had never before spoken to such a large audience as in St. Petersburg before the KHL game between the local SKA and Moscow CSKA.

SKA hosts CSKA as part of the KHL Championship on Thursday. Before the match at the stadium on Krestovsky Island Zagitova spoke.

“This is the first time I’ve played with such a large audience today, it really encouraged me and charged me for hire. Hockey ice is absolutely no different from figured ice, somewhere softer, somewhere harder. I’m already used to it, I’m adapting quickly. I wanted to skate well so that the audience was satisfied. I wanted to charge them before the game starts, "Zagitova told reporters.

"I got a new unbelievable experience to perform at the hockey match SKA - CSKA in Saint Petersburg with 62,000 hockey fans! It is the record high audience in my practice ����. There was fantastic atmosphere at the venue and I enjoyed your energy a lot ����⛸����"

62,000 people?!?!
Wow - that's HUUUUUGE.
