Alina Zagitova

Almost clean. Problems with landings but she's getting there. She looked very stiff in SP but more relaxed in the FS. I just want to see her perform at her best and seeing where that takes her.
 
All in all just 2 step-outs. and 1 in the SP. Alina got 223 and she still has reserves. Other girls (despite Evgenia) are clearly behind her.
 
She wasn't perfect, but she was clearly the best. She's human, but so is Medvedeva.;)
I have a feeling Alina's going to be the olympic champion. :dance2:
 
I really hated Zagitova's SP the first few times I saw it, but I liked it at the GPF.

I wouldn't worry about it this year, but I'd like to see how Zagitova would look in stirrup tights. I usually hate them but I think it might work for her.

I also think it would be interesting if she did a competitive program in a full body suit like she did in her exhibition this year.
 
Seems like they’re really good friends. It’s like how Zhenya is with Yuzuru.
I remember that in one of the latest interviews a journalist surprised Alina with a question "what's the last song you've heard today in your headphones?" She said: "Nemesis" and added "Nathan Chen skates to it" :)
I hope it will be a boost for her to start seriously learning English. I know she wants/wanted to learn French. But, well, French was an international language of communication but it ended like a hundred years ago!
I mean if Nathan doesn't speak Russian or French they can hardly be friends without the help of an interpreter..

French how come?? Doesn't she speak English at all?

I guess mutual admiration of each other's talents is enough. :)

I think someone said she doesn't speak English. She has used some English words on Instagram but not a lot. Apparently she's learning French, I guess she's a Francophile. For what other reason do people learn French these days, it's not that useful anymore. But you can learn for the culture of France. I'm a Francophile and Russophile. I know a decent level of French and I know the Russian alphabet lol I need to find time to learn these languages.

I was surprised to find that she wants to learn French. I thought it’s not so popular in Russia. I'd encourage her to learn many foreign languages, but i know she doesn't have time for that, especially this year. And then she focuses on Biology and Chemistry as she has to pass some exams next year, I guess.
