Alina Zagitova

I think Alina is fine, she posted a lot to her stories today and seemed to be in a great mood. She was treasured at the Inauguration event and even posted that funny "taking shoes off to go on palace" picture to her stories. To me that signals that she is well and focused on her life, which is what she should be doing. I'm sure she also wishes Zhenya the best in her future.

I hope all is well with Alina. I doubt she sees her coach as the monster others do.
 
Alina might be the person least confused by all of this. She was there for everything that lead up to it and on tour with Zhenya in Japan and Korea. I think Alina is very wisely keeping her own counsel on this and distancing herself from any controversy (as much as possible). This is the time when not showing her emotions as much as she might is going to serve her very well.

I'm sure she will miss Zhenya. How could she not? But she will be fine and this is going to work out to her advantage on a day-to-day basis for at least one entire season. Possibly even beyond that.

I'm also sure she knows exactly which side her bread is buttered on and her father has probably given her lots of advice on 'team politics' and 'sports politics'. He didn't spend his life in Russian sports as a player and now coach for nothing.

Her bread is buttered with Eteri. So many say Eteri is a monster and abuser but her girls are always warm and smiling and sweet. Yulia was sometimes brooding always looked like she was in a mood but not these other girls. Is Eteri responsible for Yulias anorexia or Zhenyas foot problem? That can never be proven. That would be like saying Gold's coach is responsible for her eating disorder. Life happens to people and athletes.
 
What does the last post by Alina on Instagram say? It seems related to what's happening in some way, since the pic is with Eteri...
 
From Zheleznyakov:

"Zhenya might have felt somewhat offended. As they say: [Alina went] From Rags to Riches. Let me explain. Usually, the girls who've just come up from the juniors don't get this high components. But Alina skyrocketed immediately, hard and fast. It's not Eteri's fault that Zagitova got that high components. The judges should have judged her performance more accurately, by the same standard that they judged others. But the result was what it was and Zhenya got mad at Eteri Georgievna and kept all of it in her. That's how I see it.
Although, I think that Eteri couldn't have done anything in this situation, because Alina rushed forward like a train and was unstoppable. And the judges worked like this... well, what could we do? Yes, the whole world says that Zhenya should have gotten the gold, but Alina got it in the end. There was nothing we could do about it."

Okay... I don't know what to say.

at the Inauguration
In stories- after Inauguration

(today mr.Putin inauguration)
 
What musical piece do you think Daniil used for Alina's short?
With vocals or without?

Well I think POTO is pretty much set in stone at this point as her short, maybe they’ll use a version without vocals.

Trying to think when they used a version of a song for Alina with words. Her Junior GP debut programs were Sherazade and Dom Quixote and both acoustic, her Senior EX had sort of a vocal arrangement (though more like vocalizations).

I think they will use a more modern piece for her FS, maybe without vocals, if she had a say they’ll probably go with Tango.
 
Zeleznjakov is a little bit disappoint me

I'll take this one step further and say he has more than disappointed me he has really made me angry with that statement. I feel sorry for Alina having to deal with this crap in her own rink. It's one thing for everyone else to say the 'judges were wrong, Zhenya should have won' but one of her own choreographers? This is not acceptable.
 
I like how enthusiastic the reporter is: And here we see our REAL STAR, our olympic champion Alina Zagitova and her legendary coach.:agree:

Exactly! The big transformation (in what Eteri thinks/allows) occured! So from now on, everyone will know her as the Olympic Champion, Alina Zagitova, and no one will correct the person who calls her like this. And I've seen that Eteri did not comment anything, on the contrary, she encouraged her to speak. I'm sad that all this drama had to take place for this status-change to happen, but at least now Alina is seen as she deserves to be seen: the best from the entire world, the reigning Olympic Champion. (I know I repeated this words twice in my post, but it's a big deal for me, and I got really angry when Eteri corrected that reporter before). As Alina's fan, my main desire is for her to receive all the attention and trust that she deserves. And I think that only good things await her from now on. :biggrin:

How can they be so undiplomatic? It's still a mystery for me:shocked:

I want Alina's name not to sound anymore in this mess, so she calmly trained these couple of days and went on vacation, away from these strange people
 
Probably not popular to say in here, but after those comments and everything else associated with Eteri, I hope this upcoming season is Alina’s last season with Eteri

I don't know... i would want her to stay with Eteri and to show longevity in figure skating.

Some people just hate Eteri for being so successful and for monopolizing figure skating in ladies.
But she's the creator of both Evgenia and Alina.... without she the girls wouldn't have gone so far.
