Alina Zagitova

The newest was two years ago...more or less current: outro, Esmeralda, inner light

Yes, because skaters typically don’t get more than 1 new ex program per year.
Still, the majority is not lyrical (or as you called it “princess”) and I don’t agree she was ever packaged to be a lyrical skater.
Outro was dedicated to Danny G’s mom, so I don’t think Danny G was thinking of any kind of “princess” packaging when making that program.

Good point! I am curious if we will get a "survivor-like" program next year. I really hope they wont stay away from those just because people could interpret them in the wrong way: Alina being presented as a fighter/survivor = a return to competition

Yagudin is keen to work with Alina in Ice Age again.

Wouldn't take him seriously though.

Big question is whether Alina is keen on working with him.

Work is work sometimes you do it even with people you are not much keen on.

I don’t tbh but I remember how she took away his microphone!

Remember how she kissed him at Channel One Cup

But she also smacked him when he was giving a Dmitri Aliev grief! Captain Hamster was not having any of his nonsense in that moment. I also loved how she literally protected Andrei Mozalev from Yagudin after his less than stellar skate.

second to last in the reel: Alina with her favourite weapon: "ok, I'm changing the plot of the fairy tale"

What class!! Also, it's my favourite weapon as well!

I'm sure you loved this then - where Alina shows impressive iaigiri skills after training with a bokken only for a few minutes (and for the first time in her life, at that) before using a katana
