Alina Zagitova

I finally watched Alina's FP and overall I like it. Not too worried about the jumps so early into the season. She's got them and, as long as she can keep her nerves under control, it'll be fine. As tired as I am of Carmens, the program looks like it suits her, the cuts aren't jarring like in her SP and the only thing I dislike about the choreo are the rushed raised legs. Please, just let her hold a position! But the program looks really promising, so you go, Alina!

Remember when Alina won that medal at the Tatarstan festival in Moscow and they played the theme to Dallas afterwards? (it starts around 2:43)

I forgot about Dallas theme in Tatarstan, lol :yahoo:
In fact, Dallas was among the absolute first batch of TV series of theis genre that came to eastern Europe in 90s, so some people feel nostalgia about Bobby the Revenant and Co. :laugh:

We got those only after the revolution. The good things were still broadcasted, however. Sometimes I think that the censorship had at least some positive moments by sparing us from this *** :laugh:

People feel it in the States too, that was such an 80s staple. I remember watching its spin off Knots Landing with my non-American Grandma and she was like “who are these people”. To this day when I fly from Dallas Airport over the city skyline I keep playing this theme song in my head.

Anyway Alina probably ever heard of Dallas, the reboot they did in 2014 never got near the same attention.

Oh god I watched that as a teen, my back from school procrastinating before homework favorite activity.

Alina is better served watching Madoka.
 
New comments from TAT :dev2: about Alinka ( google translate)

"She grew up last season. Now I do not see her getting taller. I do not know her anthropometric data today, I was not interested in that, but I think she's the same. I noticed how she grew up before the World Cup - What can the athlete's fall be associated with? Nerves? - I can not answer this question, because I'm not her coach. But I can say that I do not see her program yet. In music, of course, she will fall, but her accents do not reform figure skating. I was expecting a bomb from her for this season, but so far this has not happened. The most important thing she has not added is the basic work on slipping, and this is evident. I have a feeling that in skating she did not get better. True, the girl is growing up, and she is still Not in a shape . Probably, she is not ready yet. It's just that we have not seen her like that yet, we have only one year and the junior world championship and victory at the Olympic Games. Let's see how her career will develop. Alina - certainly a talented person But I do not see fire in her eyes And it's very sad. When she threw her hands up last year, her eyes was on fire - and this is one of the most important qualities when you want to win. This is a question of energy, desire and maximum pleasure from what athlet does, "- said Tarasova

I don't think there is any doubt now that she plays mental games with Alina/Eteri. :dev2:

As I wrote before, this is extremely annoying for your national Olympic champion to receive this treatment. I onced said that Alina was a mistake. I think people maybe understand me a bit more now. You can say that I imagining things, I have consiparacy theories or whatever, I don't care.

So TAT announced Alina's retirement ...
