Pirouette is a German magazine... finally a cover with Alina, I will definitely buy it, thanks for the info!
Dear friends, I couldn't invest much time in figure skating these days but I finally managed to read almost all the posts in this thread, I must read a few pages between 470 and 485

I am so happy that the fandom is expanding and more and more people start to understand that Alina isn't going anywhere this season - she is staying and fighting.
Japan Open was delightful, I am sure Alina will think fondly of this event, and more importantly, will come back in March to Saitama with good memories and ready to get her gold medal!
Meanwhile, I can proudly announce that I made a new fan of Alina and figure skating! A classmate of mine told me he wants to come with me to the GP in Helsinki so we have the whole journey fully organized and I still can't believe it. I mean, he is a typical boy who is interested in football and airplanes [emoji23] and after my incessant talking, talking, takling for months now about Alina, Eteri's wonders, all the dramas and the Olympics, he started asking questions about the rules and standings and he even wants to marry Zhenya

But he is becoming a fan of Alina and understands what she has to overcome, I made sure to tell him her Cinderella story. Maybe you can count me in your Alina's Witnesses group? [emoji23]
