Alina Zagitova

I admire Alina so much for being fierce and never taking the easy route.

Here she is landing her combo on the show, not a perfect landing on the 3Lo but oh the height on it, how does she do it..

She always puts 100% effort into what she does.
I remember someone posting here that saw her in Korea and said the audience was deeply appreciatve and amazed that she did her entire Black Swan SP.

That’s our girl, right? Born to amaze and never slacking.

Thank you so much for all the photos you’ve found, she looks so beautiful and incredibly happy.

I’m happy too.
 
What are your thoughts on this instrumental version of POT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpbX7SbXOtU&index=14&list=RDoTN7xO6emU0
I think it may be a better fit for Daniil's choreography.

I love this version of POTO.. This is truly art and they are great musicians :luv17: It could serve for a fragment of a FS program, but not the entire program, because the tempo is just so fast (I even don't know how they do it, really :clapper:) that it would be really hard to keep the pace with it. I like it and maybe we'll see a program based on it, too. (I am one of those fewer people who don't have a problem with POTO, especially when it's different than what we've already seen :biggrin:)

I was amazed from the height of the jump too. I was thinking about could not be possible that she is able to jump that hight because she is already triing quads in training? I don't hear about it in conjunction with Alina, but I'd read somewhere before Zhenya left Eteri's group that she said she is already able to do quad by herself without "help". So when Zhenya was triing to do that, Alina is probably to, isn't she? I guess that is could be the point. Because she was amazing jumper last season, but this seems to be much more...

Maybe... unless someone coughs up the juice we will never know for sure, but my guess is that (at least at some point) she practiced quads.

I think she is rotating faster and is getting more height is several jumps. She was always a fast rotator but now I think she is even more so.
 
Here are videos that show some of the other jumps.

That axel was super fast too.

She seems to be rotating faster but I’ll need to check it on my TV to be sure (not on my phone screen). What she does on that loop is amazing, and so hard.
There are 4 videos in all that show the entire SP and then a slo-mo of the combo on the last vid.

Even with some glitches on the combo and double axel, I think this performance is much much better than the 1st one we saw.

To my eyes the Ina Bauer in this performance works much better with the music --- although I still wish he had choreographed it so it could be held longer.

Yeah - at this point I'm a broken record on it - so I'll put a gag order on myself regarding the Ina Bauer :drama:

2 things that are pure perfection - Biellman Spin and the 3 Flip!!!!

Really hard to tell on the combo even in slow mo because the spotlights make it hard to see her blades, but it didn't look like she UR.

The landing of the loop was out of control --- maybe because of the height of it??? I don't know.

Regarding the double axel ---- :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: Please don't give up on this entry Team-Eteri. That entry when perfected will be spectacular.

ARGHHH to way the video was cut into 4 parts and cut her "music box moment" between 2 vids. Like listening to my old 8-Track tapes.
 
Has anyone else had trouble with this site being slow from time to time today (now, for example)???

I even got "server too busy" maybe an hour ago

Thanks.

Agree, agree, agree!!

I wish she held her Ina Bauer longer too, let’s make a broken record duo concert. It’s so beautiful, wish it was worth more points then I bet they’ll do it.

She seems to be spinning faster so she has a little landing control issue on the loop, like she couldn’t find the exit sign, but if she keeps it up and reigns it in it will be a great score. Her jumps overall seem higher, she’ll get great scores for sure.

Her axel improved quite a lot in my opinion, hope they keep that entry.

And yes, the video cuts were so rough, wish it was one long smooth cut (maybe Instagram will only allow a few secs at a time.

Yup I’ve had it too, my guess is they are doing server maintenance or something like it.

There are a couple of people who post Alina's videos to youtube. If I find it, I will post the link here.
 
Does it annoy any else that Alina starts her “ballerina box” moment before the thunder sound effect ends? I mean I really love the biellman spin aligned with the music, but.... it just annoys me
