Alina Zagitova

THe medal ceremony will be after the free dance, in approximately 1 hour time :biggrin:

Medals for Stasya, Kaori and Alina of course!!! :luv17:

And the first time I predicted the top 3 at least almost half correct - only switched Kaori and Stasya‘s places. :biggrin:
 
Press Conference

Q: First in SP, first in FS. You must be happy with your skating this weekend.
Alina: I'm not happy with my short program in this competition. The free skating was better but it was still not ideal.

Q: What is your overall goal for this season?
Alina: To enjoy skating and to show good skating in each of my event.

Q: Can you elaborate to us which parts did you find struggling today?
Alina: I didn't have the same focus that I wanted to have. I was tough for me to leave the short program. I was analyzing for a long time, almost the whole night

Alina: In the morning when I woke up I told myself I have to skate well cause I want to make the spectators happy and to enjoy (my skating). Not everything was perfect today. I don't want to say "what (it is)". You probably saw it yourself.

Q: You have tapes in your right knee, right ankles. Do you have pains or injuries?
Alina: Something is bothering me but it's related to growing. It's a growing issue. Sometimes it's a little bit painful. I just need to train to overcome it

Q: Does it (new ISU rules) impact your training routine, and have you paid special attention on how to get more GOE?
Alina: No, after every Olympic games rules are changing. I know something would change. I just have to take it the way it is.

Q: You started your season strongly. Do you see these numbers as your target to beat before the season ends?
Alina: I'm not looking at the scores or at the placements that's up on the board. My goal is for my coaches, myself, the spectators to be pleased with my performances.

Same here! I was just thinking about it...this predictions game is so tricky, all my predictions were a mess! This season offered us many, many surprises, but ofc not for today's winner :clapper:
 
Shhh, the stream ended just before the anthem for the winners of the dance, do anybody have another stream?

Edit: It's working again.
 
I always become emotional when the Russian anthem is played for our Alina. Nice job Alina, we are so proud of you! :love::love:
 
She was such a cutie during the ceremony. How the photographer took the flag out of her hands... :(:laugh:
 
Alina so happy running for the flag then sharing it with Konstantinova.

Then inviting Kaori to come near with the Japanese flag.

Oh this victory ceremony was wonderful.

ISU could have risen to the occasion with some better medals, these plastic coasters for the GP series are not doing it. I guess acrylic is the new metal.

Happiness though is real gold. Seeing Alina happy is my gold medal. Tomorrow at the Gala we will see more of it.
