Alina Zagitova

Exactly! What happened to the little "hamster"? :laugh:

Thanks everyone for the photos/links - really nice to wake up to a ton of photos. Everything is covered - Alina, her family and Masaru! Amazing how Alina can look so pretty and like a sunshine in every photo. And always heartwarming to see her with her family.

So true.
 
Ahhh you’re so lucky!!! I soo wish I could go, or to any international competition with Alina for that matter! But I’m 15 years old, from New Zealand and would have to pay myself [emoji23]

Save for a bit and try one of her shows in Asia-Pacific when you're older :)

Today was a really good day in the Alina fan thread. :ghug:

This is one if the most wholesome threads I've ever participated in. Lots of positivity :)

I’m going to wish for Alina to come your way (great vacation place) or maybe for you to go way her someday. You’re way closer to Japan and China then I’ll ever be. [emoji256]

So true! I’m sure they’ll be on vacation pretty soon to same awesome spot to make great memories.

And then her birthday cake.

And then they’ll be back in time to usher in the Masaru homecoming tour celebrations.
 
OMG, Alina got to hold an Akita Puppy at the Japanese TV Game Show

Cuteness overload

The Japanese media are absolutely amazing for all the love they have shown Alina from day one! For me, they kind of made up for the Russian media being so silent about her initially. Now the Russian media seems to have come around. (Imagine that! We can refer to her as Olympic Champion and everything! The mind reels!) So it is all good, but I will always adore Japan for the Alina lovefest in the beginning. As a fan it was great to see that!

And it's all about the Akitas!

I think that everything turned out well , Russian media ( like all media in a world ) and papparazzi could turn her life into hell ,
as well as attention, parties, celebrities, expensive gifts etc... she passed more or less calmly through post Olympic hype
and remained as kind, sweet ,cute,modest and little bit childish as it was before the Olympics .
her main task she fulfilled - the popularization of sports, figure skating .. thousands of children in Russia and the world
got up from the sofas, put off their phones and tablets and went to the ice rink or engage in other sports to become like Alina

I cannot agree more. I recall Adelina said that it was hard to ignore all the hype, the invitations to different events and so on. The fact that Alina is still minor could have also contributed to this more calm approach.
It's nice that she is mostly exposed to the public with an age appropriate topic and something that she really likes: Masaru and Iriska.
