Alina Zagitova

Well, yes. All girls are pushed at these nats. Just look at Sotskova's pcs compared to the GPF final.
And Alina did not fall. She had a terrible landing, but supported herself on her palms. It's not considered a fall.
I also like it that she did not seem so depressed after not so perfect skate- like she sometimes does (Lombardia, China).

You know I start to understand Eteri frustration.Look at that

maybe thecostume is an issue?
 
I don't think the costume is an issue, but rather her mental.... she made mistakes before and every time she skates it again she's too scared not to do something wrong and exactly this happens.
Do you think it would be a good idea to change the combo in the short with 3 lz 3 t?

I think she should change the combo. She can do 3lz 3 t during gala so it would be easier
 
And this interview with Alina, please...:pray:

Thank you!

[probably correspondent asked about reaction of coaches and this question is not included in the video]
Alina: this is my season's best but they didn't satisfied with not clean cascade i.e. I had a mistake
Reporter: what can be a reason for this mistake? a thrill or something else perhaps?
Alina: everything is inside mind of the athlete, how did you set the mood will predetermine your result, I thought that get my mind right but my legs were shaking before jumps [she smiles at that moment 0:31]
Reporter: what did coaches said after the performance?
Alina: they told about mistakes and aimed me to FS.
Reporter: is handicap before FS enough? [stupid question - she doesn't need handicap, she even didn't understand his question and answered as if he asked about groundwork due to similarity of Russian words]
Alina: groundwork? of course every day we worked on both programs, worked on elements and I'm gonna show good performance in FS.
Reporter: what about atmosphere on the rink?
Alina: very warm, last year I was here too, a lot of people and they supported well I even saw some posters, there is very good support here.

Thank you so much!
Handicap? He meant the difference between she and the second place? or something else?
and at the first question she isn't satisfied or the coaches?

She said: "I am not satisfied because I did not deliver the clean combo. I had a little mistake" to say mistake she used the word pomarotchka which can also mean "little stain / inkspot"

I completly do not understand the fragment about the handicap. My Russian's much too weak :(
 
maybe thecostume is an issue?
I don't think the costume is the issue but it could be. Ashley blamed her weak SPs in 2016 on the costume and for the 3 SPs where she used a new costume, she went clean!
Good luck Alina in the FS tomorrow :hap10:
 
Anyway, she's so sweet also in this interview....a real cutie :luv17:

Of course, this is just real Alina!!!

I heard this little disputed fragment (about unclean combo) once again and I am really fairly certain she is saying about herself, about her dissatisfaction, not about the coaches. She speaks about her coaches later when she is asked by the journalist.

I agree .. I also think the same.
 
Congratulations, Alina!
This year as a senior skater you won GP Cup of China, GP France, GP Final and The Russian Figure Skating Championship! :)
