Alina Zagitova

Since the quad topic take a front place in the figure skating world last few days, I like Eteri more then before. It sounds to me like she really care about her skaters and think about them like about individuals.. and what she said about Alina's quads, it does not sound me like it's definitely closed, it more sound like first she must deal with her body changes and get more muscles to be stronger, and then, eventually, they can think about it again. And that is right. When Alina was asked about the quads she also said her goal is to execute her new programs ..so nobody said explicitely she is done with it, is soud to me more like they will see. Also she is an Olympic Champion so they must be very careful about what they say. Its better to be more restrained, because everybody have big exceptations. So I'm looking forward what the future bring to us. :)
 
What did Alina say?

Since Zhenya and me always went to a press conferences together, and I practiced together with her in the same group, I saw that she worked very hard, I was a little ... I dared to show my joy, because I also saw how does she work.
Translated by me.

Orilginal
Так как мы с Женей вместе всегда ходили на пресс-конференции, я с ней каталась в одной группе, видела тоже что она очень старалась, мне было чуть-чуть ... я снтеснялась показать свою радость, потому что я тоже видела, как она работает.
 
Do you often see Alina? Every day, in the locker room she sits in front of me , she does not often communicate with the children's group,
but if you ask anything - she always answers and helps

Can you teach Alina Tatar language? no, in Tatar, I only know two words

Does Alina study well at school? I dont know

Does Alina have a boyfriend ? No

Do you know that you are very similar to Alina? Yes , I know, people told me

EdRoz, you're my hero.

It's interesting that people say Kamila is very similar to Alina. They're both great skaters, but their styles are very different.

I also laughed at seeing the second, third, and fourth questions. Kamila admitted to not knowing Alina well in her first answer. Why would the fans ask someone who doesn't know Alina about those things?
 
Saw sthg on teamzagitova’s insta-story. Tried to use an camera translator and I think it says that Alina had subscribed to the Puma channel? Not sure if it is accurate. But if it is, does it mean a Puma endorsement is upcoming? - Super happy for all these exciting high profile opportunities coming her way!

Yeah she followed Puma on Instagram, I think this means she has a deal with them (no idea if it's a full sponsorship like some others have with Nike or if its a deal for one campaign or something like it). Either way we will know soon. She wore Nike because she liked the clothes, like she wore Adidas too, so if she starts showing up with only Puma stuff on we will know that she has a deal with them now.
 
Thank you so much! I suddenly became so worried that she withdrew or something similar...

ikr! i was making calculations to know when i should sleep & when i should be up to stream the competition when suddenly everybody on my twitter was talking about her withdrawing! i almost had a heart attack
 
I don't know but when I pressed Home page, www.isufs.org came out. I hope it's official.


'Last Update: 19.09.2018 13:37' - so when it was updated today, everything should be allright? :scratch2:

The ISUresults page was last updated on 19.09.2018 17:03:17..and to leave Alinka out just by mistake? Idk, something is fishy here and I hope everything will be sorted out soon..:scratch2:
 
I don't know, guys... on the ISU page you can also see that Nina LETENAYOVA (SVK) has appeared on the list as a substitute, so they didn't just delete Alina by mistake, but also added a Slovacian skater in her place. I hope this is a miscommunication or something, but I wouldn't be too sure yet.
 
Perhaps after test skates Eteri made the decision to let Alina prepare a little longer before her first competition, the ISU is terrible at updating start lists promptly, particularly for CS events, so they could easily have made the change a while ago even if it's only public now.

yes. even if she WD I wouldn't be to worry. I think it' good to have a little bit more time before her first competition.
