could some tranlsate please?
))Journalists asked about her reaction after learning that she won the OGM.
She asked them: do you think that an athlete is happy or sad in this situation? I am very happy, it represents a step forward in my skating career.
I am usually a reserved person.

It's not quite right and shortened/simplified version of translation and it doesn't convey nuances. It was said by her with sarcasm implying journalists are fools for even asking such obvious questions (question was: was she happy or sad after receiving the medal)
Haha, thanks for the help. i don't speak Russian at all. I've just correlated the article which I translated with google translate with the video.
i think the problem is almost hysteria in russia. at some point Med have to loose. better to countrywoman
Yes, i also suspected that this is the problem... I mean she seems a person that seeks appreciation and love rather than medals and money. I suspect it is hurtful for her to see that people back home, in Russia, dismiss her and her hard work to get this medal.

It's obvious - she is shy person and she was annoyed and tired at that time already - by infinite incessant amount of media attention and same questions again and again. She is not Evgenia and she can't enjoy being in the center all the time - like Zhenya.
It in the most popular newspaper of Russia:
Tarasova: Judges have taken away gold from Medvedeva.
The famous Russian figure skating coach Tarasova have said that to Medvedeva have condemned at the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

When showed Free Program from Pyeongchang at the prime time on television, Tarasova's comments on Medvedeva and Osmond have been cut out by censorship.

Ugh this I horrible. It's one things for public to say what they want, as is their right. Every skater has gotten these comments from the public at one point in time, and Evgenia has too when she started. But for TAT who is a prominent person in figure skating in Russia, this is horrible and unprofessional. I can't believe Alina has to put up with this crap, this stuff never happens in Canada with Gabby and Kaetlyn. Can you imagine being 15 working your whole life and getting first olympic gold for your country and then have TAT telling you it was a mistake and you don't deserve it....

Yep, very unfair to Zagitova. Hopefully TAT gets serious backlash for this. I am just about done with her and her obvious bias. She's not just a normal viewer, she has to take some responsibility for what she says.

The question was sth like "why weren't you smiling right after victory, weren't you happy?".
I've seen her being asked that dumb question several times, while she's simply very shy kid, quite overwhelmed after the huge win. She responded politely before, until probably got fed of being asked for 9th time.
I hate this "you should smile, it looks better in TV!" stuff... :whack:

In my country it's the same. In fact we pretty hate fake smiles for public.

Better quality and different angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYrKGBQ5bv0
At 2:20 her father screams, receives congratulations and... runs out of the rink.

She sure can handle stressful situations and nothing could be worse than having the dope police interrupt her practice before the SP to get a sample from her. Her guts are unreal. Awesome. Zhenya too.
Hoping Alina ahas enough left in the tank to go to worlds. They stopped Adelina 4 years ago and she never performed at an elite level again. Injuries caused that but she never got to show her stuff at worlds.
Sadly Russia has had 2 athletes at these games fail drug tests. How does that country not know some of it's athletes aren't clean and let them go to the games? smh. Sad. If they keep this up there won't be more olympics as Russia it will be another rinky dink name like OAR or they won't go at all. The leaders have to get this fixed or quit. Maybe the Russian women like the great pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva should take over and run things. The Russian men are running their sports dynasty right into the ground. A crying shame for all the clean athletes they have. I think alot of Russians will train abroad now away from the Russian system that is causing problems for its athletes.
