Alina Zagitova

From an interview with Oksana Grischuk, the first ever two-time Olympic champion in ice dancing:

“- What do you think of Alina Zagitova as a tv presenter?
- We have not met each other, but even without knowing her I have taken a liking to Alina. She reminds me of a little angel. Very diligent, hardworking, and I am sure that she's a kind girl ... "
 
Alina will be teaching a master-class at Tatyana Navka's skating academy:

A very kind poster on another site provided some translations to the video of Alina and Ilya. -

Aver talks a lot, but here's some of what he saying before Alina's fans do some quality subtitles. Sorry for the grammar!

IA: You heard the song when you came in?

AZ: Part of it.

IA: I think it's might be your voice and your mood. I play it again and give you translation, its important to understand what we do. So [song] is like this. And very up to date. It's about hope as i understand it. (then he translate lyrics for Alina). So it's about making it out alive. Its about all of us. You start and gain speed in darkness, doing rotation. I'm tired of these beginnings of standing on knees. So you do first steps and music opens with you. Then world circling and narrowing on you and you stop and this motion - I show you but hope you'll do it better - and we fly away out this circle. And there this motion - how it will be comfortable for you, maybe like this? (He shows layback twizzle) (Alina repeat it in her way)

IA: you made it yourself or it was out there before? If you did, it's very talented.

And so on, they repeat motions, think how enter jumps. Averbukh praise Alina how she do it exactly with the music and skates wonderful. "Whatever i offer you do it beautifully. Very comfortable client!"
 
Alina and Aleksey Yagudin and young skaters on the Red Square ice rink:

Look at those smiling faces on Alina and the kids, Sof'ya Akatyeva, Adeliya Petrosyan, Lyubov Rubtsova, Nikolay Kolesnikov, Mark Lukin, Vsevolod Knyazev, Arseniy Fyodotov waiting for Ded Moroz to skate by ...

Alina coming into her own as a TV personallity, she is glad she improved so much in presenting herself ...

Sof'ya happy with her competition results, Lyubov happy with her triksel, Adeliya with her puppy ...

that's a huge slab of ice btw, two hockey rinks?
And with safety glass, ice hockey markings, will there be demonstrations/friendly matches competed even for the audience to admire?
