Alina Zagitova

Wiki lists Alina as being 5'1" tall. But a couple weeks ago they had her listed as 5'3" tall. Lol!
 
Im not on Instagram or twitter. Did Zhenya or others skaters wish Alina a happy sweet 16?

Not the most obvious ones, I just saw Shuboderova's, but Edea and ISU (apart from Olympics account and Olympic Channel account) are others I've found:

Edea https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi7O38tnw16

ISU: https://twitter.com/ISU_Figure/status/997458065682247681

And I'll repost this picture of Alina showing her perfect Rippon arms on a hotel lobby to fan pictures because it's just wonderful and I've never seen it before:

She has the best Rippon and Tanos in all figure skating.

Edited to add: several individual skater's fan clubs accounts made posts to her btw (not only her fan clubs).

Actually anyone can edit a wikipage, you just need to make an account there which isn't that hard, so sometimes a person edits and wiki's own people later go over it and decide it is not accurate and they take it down (or another person updates the info back to what it was). By not accurate I mean they (wiki admins) can't independently verify it (say, on ISU's webpage and Olympics webpage for Alina her height is listed as 156cm which would be 5.1). Even ISU probably doesn't have her current actual height.

Yes her Rippons and Tanos are magnificent.

Wow, thank you for that trip down memory lane. Boltano was the king of swag, could hear Tara in my head "sell me that sequence Brian", Plushenko level flair and swag right there. Tara would have said that if she wasn't a 6 year old then.

And Alina is as good as Adam Rippon on her Rippons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PlKWrV_GX0 (his lutz now) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spyhUMUEcaU (his lutz then)

And here is Alina's very own Rippon lutz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar4U36v3qvw so beautiful you can cry.

Thanks for the videos - I had forgotten about Adam's hair back then - totally different look - and coach!

Yes - Alina is right up there with Adam and then some - love that clip - the red arm-length gloves always highlighted those moves so beautifully.

I can hear Tara saying it to.
Brian didn't need any coaxing though - he could have sold refrigerators to Eskimos!
 
Me too.

This picture had to have been taken while they were doing the Korean Ice Show.

What a beautiful setting - I wonder did they visit it together or just happen to both be there????

I love their friendship. I've always been a fan of Alyona, but now even more so! So happy Alina has a friend like her. She even follows one of Alina's fan pages. :luv17:

Watching Alyona get gold was the best skating victory of the entire Olympics for me. (Alina's is second) And watching her and Bruno get that World gold was just perfection. Now she is single-handedly going to save American pair skating! :yahoo:
My hero!
