Can you share with me the link, where grandma is, please?

I don t have the link. These Instastories don t last forever.
I suppose you should trust my word[emoji16]

Some more pictures....

I didn't realize the kimono pictures were from Kyoto!
And Alina's instagram story says Tokyo, so they are doing some nice sightseeing between shows.

Can you share which other skaters these are? Would like to follow them on instagram too.

I'm pretty sure that Nathan Chen, Mariah Bell, Vanessa James, Marin Honda, Mirai Nagasu have been mentioned regarding instagram stories.

Cool, thanks! I will look for them on instagram.

Ambitious risky layout:

3F
3S
2A-3T
2A (back up)
---
3Lz-3Lo
3Lz (back up)
3F-2T-2Lo

This program is even more demanding than her previous one because she has not only some choreo and steps going on before the big combo, but already 4 jumps.

A safer option:

3Lz-3Lo (higher GOE because of better and cleaner execution on fresh legs)
3Lz (back up)
3S
2A
---
2A-3T
3F-2T-2Lo (possible back up for -3T)
3F (back up for either -2T-2Lo or -3T)

Does anyone know why Eteri doesn't try to get Alina (or any of her other skaters) to perform a 3f-2lo-2lo instead of the 3f-2t-2lo? Ive noticed that -2lo-2lo combos are very rarely performed in competitions

Saw this posted in Nathan Chen's fanfest.

Should be quite a few pics here - maybe Alina's grandmother will show up in one of them!

"Memoirs of a Geisha"

That smile :luv17: She looks so relaxed and happy. And I could portray Alinka as a geisha..she surely has the grace and elegance to be one. :luv17:

I guess because it’s harder and doesn’t give you a double to stabilize up before the double loop

Eteri doesn't give her skaters layouts they cannot handle. If Alina could pull that off consistently of course they'd go for it.

It s not about the media. They had trips, visits to the temples dinners... in all InstaStories, Alina stays separate from her grandma.

Maybe the skaters are savvy enough to realize grandma prefers to be in the background. The skaters I follow mostly post pictures of themselves or other skaters, not of chaperones or other people, which I think shows a healthy amount of respect for these people who may not want to be in the public eye.

2 more pictures of beautiful Alina in her beautiful kimono....

"Here’s some TV content I’m looking forward to! A variety program featuring some skaters from The Ice, plus Daisuke Takahashi, will air locally on Aug 4 and nationally on Aug 12 on BS Fuji (13:30~16:00). It seems like it might show a few performances? But definitely not all.
It will also have a segment on Alina Zagitova visiting Kyoto."

Thanks! This (FSIgstories) is a pretty cool account to follow to keep updated on all the FS Ig stories of various skaters.

And Tass87, Grandma is there - in Morgan Cipres' Ig story (1D ago); seated near a pillar.

What are you talking about??
Of course skaters didn't target Alina's grandmother or Alina herself in the vid they posted, but it happened to see them there. And in all i saw Alina stayed separated from her grandmother.

Wow! Alina is now the global ambassador for Shisiedo. She looks so grown up. Such a beauty! So happy for her to have these opportunities!
