Thank you for all of your 'on the ground' reporting!!![]()
Pleasure is mine.
I want to translate the VK-post of Natalya Makarova, woman in a puffy skirt, MC of today's master-class, because these are really beautiful thoughtful words:

My heart was burning with the gratitude for this victory! And I wanted to say "thank you" to beautiful, gentle and very strong Alina Zagitova in person. Two years before the Olympics the girl broke her arm in two places and her leg. She learned to walk again. She went out at the rink like the first time. And she coped with it! And it is worthy of respect. I bow my head.
The second picture is Alina's mother, Leysan Zagitova. Look at this beautiful and delicate woman. I'm afraid there's no measure for all the energy, resourses, heart and soul she invested in her daughter the Olympic Champion. I bow my head again.
Amazing family. What strength of spirit. What faith and aspiring to the top results. What power. Bravo!
I'm so happy that I was able to express our gratitude, admiration, delight to gorgeous Alina.
Don't believe all those gossiping and envious people, you are the best! You are the first in the country, first at the Olympics, first in the planet!
Natalya's words are special to me because I used to know her many years ago. We worked together in a summer camp and she was my boss. She was really great and taught me a lot. At that time her opinion was important to me and I'm glad that our thoughts about Alina are the same. Yes, Izhevsk is a small town and everyone knows everyone.

- all that was missing was "don't forget to point your toes".
Alina IS Dick Button!!!!
