Alina Zagitova

[lesnar001]

This is from an interview with costume designer Olga Ryabenko in another thread about costume design....

Now, after the triumph of Alina Zagitova, everyone, of course, needs tutus. Although before they were very disliked by the coaches - the protruding skirt hinders the jump, creates a parachute effect. In addition, the skater does not see her feet under it. Some, because of this, cannot even stand on ice - they get dizzy. To prepare for the Olympics, Alina spent two months training in a tutu.

I never realized any of this.

Alina trains for most technically difficult program at that time AND has to adjust to the tutu.

"Baby Boss" really does kick ***!!!!

And all that hard work paid off at the Olympics.

When ballerinas can dance in tutus (and they also can't see legs and all), why skaters couldn't.

They cannot escape the prison ))... But I think in weekends they go home, or not?

I think they do.

You are only 2 posts away from 2000! Make #2000 a memorable one.

Excluding the last two sentences (but that was ) this is how the world should look like. So why most often it is not so...

I don't know. There are so many international situations that can't be solved with puppies and hugs, but we have this rare and beautiful moment where literally EVERYONE (except Iriska) can be happy! Why manufacture drama where there isn't any?

Just numbers... don't have a meaning for me.

The adults involved in this situation really need to start adulting as soon as they can manage to do so.

If they don't want it to be perceived that PM gave the puppy to Alina, don't hand the puppy to the PM to give to Alina.

I'm probably missing something here but isn't it as simple as - Akita person hands Masaru to Alina. Alina (quietly and with dignity befitting her station) freaks out with joy. Putin and Abe beam with national pride and smile benevolently in the background. Masaru looks fluffy and adorable. If Yume is there she pouts about being upstaged as the most important Akita in Russia.

A million pictures are taken. Media asks lots of brilliant questions - ("Masaru means victory! Is this name inspired by your Olympic victory? Yes! Wow, this is brand new information!)

Flags are waved, hands are shaken, gifts are exchanged, Akita people are thanked profusely by Alina, her family (I hope they are there), Putin, Abe and everyone else. Fans are pleased. Alina and Masaru are blissful in their own little world. Iriska plots an overthrow of the puppy regime. The chinchillas wait.....

That is exactly how it should be --- but whenever politicians get involved - who knows?

This could turn into "Puppy-Gate"

Alina and Masaru may need to "elope" and avoid all this in-fighting.

Don't know - my guess would be that ballerinas probably got used to tutus at an early age.
I'm going to have to defer to the experts on this one!

The difference between ice and a dance floor? Just a guess.

I don't even want to know - people can really be too much

This "who should have won gold" is trying my patience greatly.

Who are the former figure skaters?

Whoever they are - they should be careful where they point the gun - it could be turned back on them!

They want to quibble about scores? PCS difference should have been greater? Well, if that's your arguement, I say that Alina's GOE on jumps should have been higher. We can play this game all day long. THE RESULTS WERE CORRECT!!!!

Sorry for the rant.

I just looked at the blog. Who is this idiot? I wish I knew Russian because I would give this internet bully the beat-down they so richly deserve.

Were they just trolling for negative comments - if that's the case they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

This troll who start yesterday attack to Eteri daughter :scowl:

 

[esteticlove]

You could tell from my avatar who my favourite skater is, but still I think the same as you that this internet war between fans is ridiculous. And as much as I appreciate that TAT supports Zhenya, especially now with the coach change, I didn't approve her words at the Olympics, that they robbed Zhenya and gifted the gold to Alina. In 2014 it was a big surprise when Sotnikova got 1st, but this year Alina was No.1 through the entire season, so it wasn't that unexpected. And it was well deserved.

Ps. Is her birthday tomorrow?

All the more reason this troll to go back under its bridge to live out its miserable existence.

I guess picking on teenage girls is its specialty.
