I would LOVE for her to win again in 2022
and... oh my goodness she is so photogenic - as the saying goes.... the camera really loves her!

Sadly the guy that posted part of the making of for this commercial deleted his post (we had it in the thread a few pages back too), but I found one that is still up. Here you can see Alina doing her 3ltz+3lo in its full glory.

Wish we could see more of this making of.

And we have a blog post on sports.ru about the commercial: https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/taliaskate/1662337.html
Google translator decided to be my friend and a few things actually make sense, highlights are:
- Alina can be congratulated on another victory, she is the first figure skater in the country, who appeared in such a large and high-quality commercial.
- She used Alena for a split second, apparently she did not have enough material for editing when Alina was in Japan.
- Who are these mythical other 29 people in the world, who do Lutz / Rietberger? I do not know any women in adult women, I counted juniors 5. Or are there 29 men?
- It is noteworthy that the Savings Bank was also banned from calling Alina Olympic champion. Apparently there are real restrictions on federal channels, but they bypassed the ban creatively and in their own way
I copy pasted directly from Google Translator so the english may be a little rough around the edges. If some kind soul knows Russian would love their take on the highlights of the article in its original language.

I first thought - maybe they count in retired skaters? I checked the facts and Tara Lipinski landed 3S-3Lo, 3Lo-3Lo, Mao Asada did 3F-3Lo...
And actually only Miki Ando and Irina Slutskaya did successfully 3Lz-3Lo from what I have seen on youtube so far (+an unsuccessful attempt from Michelle Kwan in competition), I don't know what's the situation in men's skating.
But to be honest, when comparing Alina with the stars from the past, I can say without a doubt that her triple loop as the second combination jump seems to be the highest, strongest and most impressive one!
I love the green dress and the epicness of the music of the commercial <3

And, if Google translator is still being my friend, news about Alina's Akita puppy. There is a sign in Japanese on this post, with lots of info, and the following on the post written in Russian: On "May 3, in the Japanese city of Odate, which is in Akita Prefecture, an exhibition of dogs of the Akita Inu breed will be held. Here a puppy will be introduced, who will go to our Alina. She chose a red-haired girl from photographs during her stay in Japan."

Thanks for the post and translation. Does anyone know why there is a ban from calling Alina the Olympic Champion?
I also read from the same article - also googled translated - "Apparently in the leadership of the bank there are fans of FC who are fed up with this post-Olympic bacchanalia." >> what does this mean?

My guess on the first question is that there is a copyright on the phrase Olympic Champion for its use in any advertising. So the Olympic Committee can charge any advertisers that wish to use that phrase, or they can forbid some advertisers from using it even if they are willing to pay. If it’s the first maybe they decided not to pay to use it, if it’s the second maybe the Olympic Committee already had endorsements from a financial institution (I know Visa was a sponsor) that prevented them from leasing the term to another one. Say if McDonalds is a sponsor with exclusive rights you can’t sell you brand to Burger King. Not sure there would be a conflict with Visa, I’m just using it as an example.
Bacchanalia means something like drunken celebrations. I’m not sure what actual word they used in Russian and why Google Translator pulled that one out of the bag. Maybe on the original it meant something more along the lines of “fed up with all the hype around this subject”.

Apparently yes, from this sports.ru blog (https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/...e/1662337.html) I got this Google Translated quote: "She used Alena for a split second, apparently she did not have enough material for editing when Alina was in Japan."
Though I couldn't really tell when from watching on my computer screen, I could tell Alina was in all her jumps.

Good question!! A guess: maybe with all the events since the athletes came back (event with President and car ceremony, the medal winners ice show on TV, interviews, getting the special Iphones and so on so forth) some peeps felt like that particular event was all over the news. Kinda like you can't get away from the Super Bowl unless you crawl under a martian rock.

I thought I was such a poor "fan" when I totally missed that it wasn't Alina in a couple of shots. Only realized after reading it here and re-watching the video. LOL.

Nope, I'm with you all the way, on both issues. I love reading all the interviews, seeing the videos and all the pictures, the more, the merrier.
