Alina Zagitova

Serious question - If both Alina and Zhenya skate clean, is the result at Worlds the same as the Olympics? Or different set of Judges = whole new ballgame?
 
I don't know what to say anymore I agree with you it would be professional to treat all your students equally. Eteri is a famous well-known coach who the media always go to Eteri had her star pupil lose the gold medal in the Olympics to her understudy. I truly believe this bothers the coach. But zagitova needs to keep her Focus develop over the next couple years and become an all-time great would she showed she can be.

Found the clip I was talking about yesterday.

Interviewer: Now people call you a hero and a stand up girl. Isn't that more difficult than becoming an Olympic Cham..
Eteri: No, no. Don't say that she is an Olympic Champion!
Alina: I have a cold and don't feel anything right now.
 
Which japanese station paid her to interview her in her apartment.
OMG she does not even have a bed. She is sleeping on a low end sofa that fold to a bed. That she shared it with little sister. Very small apartment, grandmother, father, mother, little sister, her and cat + 2 chinchilla. with so much soft toys, no space at all. So sad, a tear come out of my eyes when i saw that.
And it is -19C outside.

Another Japanese tv reportage (removed link or else i get auto ban by skynet)

I believe Eteri said no,no. Don’t TELL HER that she is an Olympic champion.
Its more of a ‘don’t let it get to her head’ kind of thing, else she might stop working

talk about the world. who is going there? i never been to any figure skating event before, only watch on tv. i have vacation during the world. i wanted to visit other event, but due to work, never have time. I hope Alina wins the worlds, that means she wins every competition during her senior year. that is grand slam ! they should make a new trophy just for her.
 
Yes, but Alina will win with bigger points advantage. :biggrin:

even if zhenya wins the world. so what. it mean nothing. she already won two times worlds. the olympics gold is what she yearn. Nothing but olympic gold will satisfy her. Her problem may not even alina in next olympic, russian junior can do quad now.
 
what???? that is crazy
:unsure: :laugh:
Well, it was really difficult to hear clearly. There definitely were some missed words which I couldn't hear. But I suspect it is specific Eteri's sense of humour at fault here - which many people takes at face value. It's rather typical joke of strict coaches to presumably prevent their pupils from becoming too conceited due to own's achievements and therefore too easygoing.

:eek:

There are only two possiblities:
- it was an inside joke between Alina and Eteri (might have been pretty funny actually),
- it was disgusting interruption of small happy moment of hard-working young girl.

Maybe some Russian speaker, who watched it in better quality would be able to tell how it was. :scratch2:

There are rumors about possible love affair between Alina and Kirill Kaprizov (hockey player).

Lol I was waiting for the rubbish tabloids to start pushing that rumour since they started following each others instagrams and posed for pictures together. Ignoring the lack of validity of such reports, Kirill should be focused on the KHL playoffs and Alina training for worlds there is no need for extra distractions like this for either of them right now.

Only Alina and her grandmother live in that appartments, Sabina was a guest.
 
That was a very modest apartment. Moscow is a big city so I hope it is not on the other side of town from her training facility

It is like a 5 minute walk from her apartment to the ice rink she trains at. There are nicer apartments in that nearby area, maybe soon she can upgrade with the 4,000,000 rubles (about $70,000) she earned for winning the gold medal.

Neither. It's obvious Eteri was just trying to make her not to think a lot about it. Eteri already went through similar situation with Lipnitskaya, so it's understandable why she does that now.
