*fangirling on*
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! :hap93: I’ve seen her! She is real! She isn’t just a bunch of pixels on my screen but a real girl! :hap10:
*fangirling off*

So I just got back from Alina’s master-class at “Olimpiets” (The Olympian) ice rink in Izhevsk. It was very nice and warm event, everyone had great fun – children who were at the ice and we, spectators. :)

It all began with a group performance of young skaters.

Then MC invited Alina to the ice. The audience was mad! :luv17: She was just so beautiful and sweet. She greeted everyone, thanked people for coming and supporting her.

MC asked her a question: You were such a young girl at such a great event as the Olympics. What was the main lesson you had learned there?
Alina: You have to believe in yourself, do what you have to do and ALWAYS believe to your coach. No doubts, no contradictions, no arguments.

Then there was a reunion with her first coach and choreographer.

Question to the choreographer: What kind of programs do you think are the best for Alina?
Answer: She is an unique kind of skater who can perform everything. I choreographed programs of different style for her: we tried classical pieces, latino songs, oriental rhythmes – those I think Alina liked the most. (Alina nodded.)

To be continuied...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are the best [emoji772].

Our very own Golden Skate 007.

I’m so happy you got to see Alina in action and enjoy a wonderful morning in her presence. That is an amazing treat and thanks to your reports and pictures I felt like I was three (if only).

I think Alina will be a great coach some day, she is the best and a lot of that has to do with hard work, I’m sure she’ll push others to work just as hard.

Glad she had a “hero day” back in her hometown that she loves so much.

Someone in the instagram noticed one interesting thing -
SabinaIlnazLeysanAlina
SILA - in Russian it's mean - Force , power
:ghug:

10 000 new followers in her Instagram since yesterday :shocked:
 

Thank you for noticing all these things.

After taking the gum out of Sabinas mouth he shook the mans hand with Sabinas saliva on it! :laugh2: Lesson learned for Sabina. I hope.
 
At the Head Of Udmurtia Alexander Brechalov.

At 0:08 Dad pulls out a chewing gum from Sabina's mouth. :laugh2:

Geez, Dad, if you're not going to wear a suit or blazer and tie at least tuck in that shirt. Dude looks nervous as hell. Mom must be the disciplinarian of the household.

Alina, looks to be about the size of her Mom, and her Dad isn't tall so it looks it looks like she is done growing.

I don't think so, he took gum with left hand
 
About Alina's new apartment.
I read a lot of negative comments in social media about that. People think it is too much to give her such an expensive gift for the tax-payers money. So at the video the Head of Udmurtia clearly said that the apartment was given with the support of local businessman and even said his name. He is well-known developer in Izhevsk, he has strong ties with the highest city officials so I think it's no trouble for him to give an apartment to one of the greatest citizens of Izhevsk. Our taxes are safe. :biggrin:

This is a comment from the YouTube video giving a translation with a little more information about the apartment. It sounds lovely -
She said that the apartment that she had been given, she would give to her parents and gave them a package with documents for it. She has got now apartment with four rooms, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, central heating in a stone house.

Now, no matter where her journey takes her in life, she will always have a home in her hometown for herself and her family. She wanted to help her family and she has accomplished her goal. The apartment and the bmw are wonderful gifts. Well done Udmurtia and local businessman!
 
After the practice ended Sabina came to the ice. She performed at the song “Cuckoo”. (I don’t know is it her competition program or EX?) Alina was asked to comment on her sister’s skating. She was very strict and critical: I told you so many times, Sabina, to stretch your legs, to hold your back straight. And look up. Aside from that it was fine.

Thank you very much for posting all of the information from the show. I'm really glad that you got to see Alina in person. :2thumbs:

Alina to Sabina....

Alina sounds like Dick Button! :laugh: - all that was missing was "don't forget to point your toes".

I found this clip of Sabina's performance - unfortunately it cuts off after a minute. Hopefully someone else will find the whole performance.
