What they say-skaters, coaches, politicians in the interviews, and what really happens in the backstage are most of the time 2 completely different stories.
The evidence is her practice session the day before the competition:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-UN55vDWg8
i just see people at a practice? nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that it might not have been the perfect practice they wanted. alina didn't cry after either of her performances at euros whereas she used to get teary eyed after performances with tiny mistakes. it seems like alina and her team have all accepted that it's ok to not win sometimes. im sure it was hard having to adjust from being nearly undefeated to suddenly having to fight for wins.
even if you want to take that one practice as "evidence" theres way more evidence showing that her coaches have not been breaking her spirit. see like every other practice where everyone's smiling. we've also seen videos of when eteri has made alina cry from last season so i'd say that would be the best evidence of "breaking her spirit" but her spirit seems to have remained intact through all of last season :confused2:
