Alina Zagitova


She is so good in this one! Seriously, she improved so much since the beginning of last season, it‘s simply amazing. The close up of her face was stunning! She connected the most to the music of the three of them and was always right on the beat of the music. In last year‘s dance videos you could always see that she seemed stiffer, her expression was almost blank and she was visibly focusing on getting the choreography right. It‘s not perfect yet either but it‘s so much better already. She can still improve, though and I think she will. Really, really proud of her. :luv17:
 
What I am most curious is if Danill read some reviews on POTO online and if he will fix some steps and choreo. I actually want some music to be changed, but if not I hope at least we get a more flowy SP.

It will not be easy to handle the pressure. How she is the oldest in Eteri's team and she has to keep level what she gained last season. This is mostly mental game, physically she is ready. I wish Alina the very good season. :luv17: :luv17: :luv17::points:

I expect her to grow and be strong even with her younger teammares coming on strong.
 
Alina dancing is just heaven!! Thank you Inver for the 3A pic and EdRoz for the video.

Alina has the prettiest hand movements, perfect body control and now she gained even more performance. It’s such a noticeable change, she must be working so hard at this goal (one of her big goals for the year along with skating skills).

It’s great to see her in top shape so near the start of the season! I’m excited.

I’m curious to see if they’ll “smooth out” the music cut on POTO. Part of me thinks not really, since they used it at The Ice already, I know it’s not competition but a paying show is important enough to warrant what they considered to be a top notch music cut. On her choreography though I expect they’ll be some changes, maybe even try out something during the Challenger event in preparation for the big competitions to come.
 
Aren't they a cute team? :luv17: (photo from Daniil's insta-story)

I wonder what does L.C. stand for...La Carmen? Or Lara Croft maybe? Hm...:scratch2:

Edited to add: just Google-Translated "будет" and it says "will be"...:scratch2: Can it be info about the EX program and indeed be Lara Croft? I know it's a long shot...but that would be awesome:love::love:

Lara Croft — Survivor

Lara Croft sounds like a fun EX for her! very excited to see her skate again! Test skates can't come soon enough! :yahoo:
 
A special shout-out to Lusk8 (who I believe is a HUGE tennis fan)....

Serena Williams at the US Open (in a tutu!!!!) :rock:

... the "tano" needs a little work though :laugh:

Yessssss!!

Thank you!!!

My two worlds just collided in the best possible way. Two strong, amazing women, who are at the very top of their sport. Alina could teach Serena her tanos and maybe lend her the Black Swan outfit (Serena would love those color shifting sequins with all her heart).

And now Alina will kick ass as Lara Croft in her exhibition piece. That is grand slam worthy news.
 
Part of an interview with Maxim Trankov

Most of the interview was about Tarasova & Morozov, who he is working with, but he also spoke about expectations and results for Alina.

Original Russian
Высокие. От Загитовой я жду более стабильного катания, чем у её предшественников, которые прошли через те же медные трубы. Она девочка очень умная и очень одарённая во всех смыслах. Как в плане красоты на льду, так и в прыжковой подготовке. Она — олимпийская чемпионка, и не о чем тут говорить

Google-Translated
High. From Zagitova I expect a more stable skiing than her predecessors, who went through the same copper pipes. She is a very intelligent girl and very gifted in all senses. Both in terms of beauty on the ice, and in jumping training. She is an Olympic champion, and there's nothing to talk about.

except for "skiing" and "copper pipes" - it seems to have translated OK

This is the site with the whole interview....

Copper pipes is not correct ..
То go through fire and water (through thick and thin). Пройти сквозь огонь и воду (и медные трубы).
