Yes!!! She really transformed there, imagine what it'll be with the costume...
Now I'm more curious then ever to see it. We will get news on POTO (if not videos right away) from "The Ice". All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. Love to see Alina looking so happy and enjoying herself, it will be great to start the new season with so much positive energy.

I went out for a few hours and i come back to new Alina content, i'm blessed 
I like the fierceness in the choreo preview, i'm fine with an intense Carmen. I'm getting more and more positive about it. She does intense well, her black swan especially the last moments when she transforms into the black swan was fantastic. She said she really wants to show more mature skating, i know she can do it

Personally, I am not impressed by what I've seen up now with Carmen... It seems to me the typical approach to this piece of music.
When you choose warhorses, there are advantages and disadvantages. Advantages the music is easily recognizable and with impact, disadvantages the program should be something different from the past ones, in order to set the skater apart. So in a way, it's more difficult to choose a warhorse, the expectations are greater also.
What i like from Daniil's fragment are Trusova (it seems to be an interesting program) and Frolov. Also Kamila - really good body movements.
I've seen Anna's entire program, it's good, just needs more run throughs.

This sounds pretty interesting. I think I‘ve actually heard about this book before - must have been in school sometime - but to be honest, I couldn‘t remember it just from the nameMaybe I should read it... Collecting a bit cultural knowledge. Or basic cultural knowledge considering that you‘re basically our neighbors.
And about the thing with the humor: Well, English humor is also very popular abroad, I‘d say, so it‘s actually not that uncommon. Foreign humor is always very interesting and if it‘s a well-written story I can easily see why it would be well-known in and outside of the Czech Republic.
As you mentioned english humor, the fact is that probably closest style of humor can be seen in Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder Goes Fourth. But to be honest, if I should recommend something from czech literature, Švejk probably woudn't the first thing that would came to my mind (well, it would depend on the person to whom I should recommend something, on the other hand, for Austrians it shouldn't be so hard to understand the environment and situation, considering our common 400 years under Habsburgs, just the angle of view could be different

She doesn't wear head scarfs, she goes out without man's permission and she likes dogs. Thats obviously that type of faith which is more tradition (or part of ethnic identity) than strict insisting on the religious rules. Just like many christians are christians more formally than they would strictly live a life of believers (practically atheists with the ocasional need to speak with somebody
).

I thought the same thing: is JR Ewing going to walk out there to hand out the medals Oprah style (“you get a medal, you get a medal, you get a medal, everybody gets a medal”).

She doesn't have to. She also can wear anything she wants outside the mosque. Russian muslims don't even pray 5 times a day, and 99% of them never went to Mekkah.
Ok, it's good to know... I don't like artificial barriers between people. And I say that knowing the case of a friend who is Jewish and will marry a Christian. But it wasn't easy, she had to convince her parents and they don't even marry religious, just civil.

In the video you can hear the audience gasp and mumble at something she says around 3:29. What did she say?
I hope Alina won’t be discriminated against on this forum. I’ve already seen some questionable comments....
But I really hope that the federation doesn’t turn against her just because she is Muslim. Is her being Muslim a big announcement that just became clear to the public today??

No, of course not. Being muslim is not something unusal in Russia. No one cares. There are hundreds of muslim athletes in Russia. If we talk about girls, for example Dinara Safina, Alina Kabaeva, Leisan Utyasheva and so on. Kamilla, partner of Sasha Maltsev, is a synchro swimmer, she'sa muslim too, and her job is to present her bare legs to thousands of people.

Lol, the Fed isn't going to "turn against her". Why would they? Tatars are a Muslim nation and there are many Tatar sportsmen/women in Russia. There's nothing scandalous or gasp worthy about this for Russians. Tatars in particular are a very secular type of Muslims. Islam is a part of their ethnic identity, but non-observance is quite typical.
It's honestly not a surprise, I remember reading a couple of times how Alina's grandmother goes to the mosque to pray before competitions.
And Alina's parents are Tatar (I heard many of them are muslim), so in my mind I assumed Alina is muslim too.
Just hope it doesn't create more hatred towards our Alinka.
