Alina Zagitova

As for the Vogue photoshoot, the last person you should blame is the teenager or her parents. Adults like the art director, photographer, and finally the editor of the magazine are the ones you should blame. High fashion people have a history of being out of touch.

It's clear that the creative team in Vogue had their vision, but they wouldn't have published the photos without her parents' consent. Otherwise, they would have risked a trial and even paying them damages.

With all due respect, I see you find excuses for the Vogue photo-shooting, we can find excuses for everything in the end, if we really want.
When it comes to Kabaeva, with all due respect, you don't know exactly what Alina admires at her. Usually, when you say I have this role model you admire her sporting career, but also her personality and life choices.
Maybe you should accept that fans are different and have different views.... I, for example, have to accept fans who are shipping her with different men although I don't agree with that.
As I said it's absolutely normal to like some pictures on Instagram, or to interact with her colleagues, what I pointed out is the fact that she is influenced by posts and comments on Instagram and acts according to them. And yes, she seems open to interact, I cannot see anything wrong, although my personal preferences are for women/girls who are more selective and in a way more precious.
And I didn't add any value judgement (not good, not wrong) about her being as i depicted- and again this is my perception of her- being emotionally fragile, sensitive, and shy, and gutsy.
About not trusting her, I think it's obvious about major bombing at IDF and at Worlds, and some other minor issues with the short along the season - she's obviously not as stable as Evgenia, let's say, and this comes from her inner-self.

I was reading the discussion and I just want to point out that Instagram timeline isn’t chronological, so an old picture may appear to you anytime. Liking an old post isn’t big deal.

This is my first post in Alina’s thread, sorry everyone for it being at the wrong time. :palmf:

P.S. About her photos from The Legends - wow, she looks much more mature in those dresses!

Yes, she looks more mature and very common in those dresses.
Now, looking behind, the coaching team did a great job choosing those costumes for the competitive programs which helped her to really stand out:
for the free, at least, it was absolutely a great choice, for the short I've read that even Eteri wasn't completely happy about the dress, but at the end I think it was a good costume, especially after they shortened the tutu.

Kabaeva: Alina has given multiple interviews where she talks about her role models and what she admires in them: Kabaeva for her sports achievements, because she is named after her, and for her strong character as an athlete. Evgenia for her strong character and mentality, and Carolina for her beautiful skating. She never said she admired Kavaeva's relationships, Evgenia's injuries, or Carolina's inconsistencies and ban. I'm quite sure we all know exactly what Alina admires in her, as well as her other role models; she has explicitly stated this.

Your preferences for a girl to be more selective? In which way, who they chose to interact with? Because she's definitely not dating any of them, and even if she were there wouldn't be a problem. She is only interacting with them in a show, which is exactly what she should be doing. I'm sure everyone is glad she is not snobby and interacts with all athletes whom she respects, Shoma, Nathan, Kaetlyn, Carolina, Zhenya, Tessa. Not just the male ones. What do you mean by influenced by the posts on Instagram? Because she likes them after someone posts? Yes, that is how Instagram works, and you follow somebody to see the post. Skaters often like eachother's posts on social media, and I can only think of one who does not, and that is Yuzuru who does not have an Instagram. She does not interact with skaters in any way that is different to other skaters like Zhenya and Kaetlyn, other top female skaters.

And your comments about not trusting her didn't have much to do with her athletic ability; you spoke mainly of that regarding who she interacts with, photos she likes on Instagram, etc. As for her athletic ability - you may want too recheck your facts. Alina for a fact fell less times than Evgenia her first senior season, you may count the number of falls. She has had the most consistent debut season of any recent skater. So perhaps you're just trying to find something, but in fact you don't trust her because you do not like her? That's fine, but the reasons you give do not back up your claim. Your distrust is not because she isn't a dependable skater, maybe because you just aren't her fan, and that's fine not everyone has to be.

You can have your own opinion but there is a time and place. This is her fan fest and some of the things you're saying is not based on fact. It is disrespectful to her as well as this section of the forum, which is her fanfest.
 
She looks beautiful, nice to see a different side of her, softer without the dramatic ballet themes and costumes that come with it :)

Oh no! Alina agrees to take a photo with Kaetlyn? She is too focused on her and I've lost all my faith in her. And she takes more photos with other skaters? Yikes, she is going to be like Kabaeva with the president but instead with ALL the female AND male skaters! I knew that's why she said she looked up to her! What crime will she commit next, will she like those pictures? :drama: :laugh2:

Guys, I feel like we should be celebrating her success and stop talking about Evgenia even though she's my fave, that's what her fan fest is for. Alina doesn't need to be an exact copy of Evgenia to be appreciated. She's 15 and her personal traits are still changing and that's okay. We shouldn't have a say in it.
I kinda feel like, add 1 million more people like that person reading too much into liking pics on IG and the media, and you get an outcome like what happened to Yulia. So let's not let that happen.
Let's let her live her life the way she wants, celebrate her for her greatness, and support her when she doesn't do as well. She's a lovely person.

Sorry for the lengthy post!

She just cannot be selective and refrain herself. :noshake: :laugh:

And now she is in one photo with Plushenko (is Alina allowed to like this photo?:scratch2: ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BhBQcXXljiW/?taken-by=plushenkoofficial

By the way, Alina updated her instagram stories, she showed a lot of nice gifts she received in Japan and this cute photo. ;) https://www.instagram.com/p/BhBP92xlMgf/?tagged=alinazagitova

What is going on here on the last 3 pages?

Just banter back and forth between some of us and Madison who is concerned that Alina is becoming too sexy too soon and that her character is changing. Madison was unhappy with Alinkas vogue photo shoot but we explained that risque photo was caused by the phoographer. I bet Madison also doesn't like Alinas tiger print leotard she skates in in exhibitions you know it's kind of sexy and risque for a fifteen-year-old sweetie pie.

So myself and others spent many posts trying to assure Madison everything is good with Alina she's just a normal 15 year old girl who just happens to be a great figure skater and an Olympic champion who just happens to want to do photoshoots from time to time look beautiful and sexy from time to time too. I think it's normal for a 15 year old girl to be this way whether they are Olympic champion or not. I mean look at Anastasia Gubanvas IG. She's a few months younger than Alina her instagram is filled with beautiful photos some sexy too for 15 year old. She is not the skater Zagitova is of course but she's a lovely skater who knows how to market herself and somehow a company in Switzerland hired her to do some of these ice shows so she's getting paid at 15 years old for being an attractive girl and a lovely skater. Its a business afterall and to be honest I hope all these girls and guys in figure skating fulfill their potential and make much money as possible because it's a business a big business a humongous business worldwide. and these girls have to market themselves they're in competition with each other as well on and off the ice.

My guess is that Madison would not approve of what Gubanova is doing with her Instagram. But this is life these girls want to grow up fast and they want people to appreciate their talents and looks just like models and actresses they grow up admiring. Its normal. No one is perfect we all make mistakes.

I really hope Madison stays a huge fan of Alina Zagitova and keeps posting here but that's up to Madison. We all spent yesterday reassuring Madison that Alina is a great person with great character. She is.

As for a Alina it's wonderful to see her having a great time in Japan she deserves it as a reward for her phenomenal debut season.
