I am eager to read this too, I like Tatjana, she seems like a great woman and is always beside Alina in press conferences and other competition-related events, she seems very friendly and supportive. 
Lastly, Eteri's mother has passed away. She was very good to all the girls at Khrustalni.Please, a moment of silence for this great woman who gave us a great coach who gave us Alina.
Careful, that is a slovakian movie (although created during federation yet so oficially it is Czechoslovakian movie and the king is played by czech actor), some Slovakian could take it personallyBut yes, I agree, that is a pretty fairytale too. Most fairytales created till 1990 are beautiful. Sad that nowadays filmmakers are not able to continue with quality. The best they are able to achieve is just "average" and even that is achieved rarely.
I'm sorry.

There you go.
Although this version is in much lower quality than the preivous one, which unfortunately have no subtitles. The movie is from 1973 and still the most popular fairytale till now not only in Czech Republic, but in some other european countries too (Germany, Norway...).
During seventies we made many really beautiful fairytales BTW, like very true adaptation of Little Mermaid - very melancholic movie with sad ending or The Virgin and The Monster - gothic and dark adaptation of The Beauty and The Beast, yet very artistic and romantic too. And many others. So during christmas we watch fairytales, fairytales, fairytales
And thank you for the others. The Virgin and the Monster sounds really fantastic! If you can't tell, I love fairytales. 
I completely understand you! lesnar001's link to Plushenko's interview has officially converted me into a Plushenko fan. I love it when people who matter in Russian figure skating say positive things about Alina.
I got the feeling Alexandra Stepanova was like Alina's big sister at the gala this time. It was really nice. She is a great ice dancer, too, and I remember her sitting and talking with Daniil and Eteri at the test skate. She will also be at Rostelecom, and hopefully GPF and Europeans and Worlds, so we might see more interactions with Alina.

Thank you so much for this!
I find I like a lot of foreign films more than I do American ones, especially ones made nowadays. It's a real shame they don't make films like they used to. I haven't seen any Czech movies and I'm really excited to watch these.
I was watching the 4th Stage today, and I noticed that Alena K has changed her tissue box friend. Instead of her grey wolf, she has an orange-brown little creature that looks like Masaru!
Don't you think?

I remember also Anna S has Rikkaluma as her tissue box cover, a match to Alina's Korilakkuma.

A gift from Alina?
Maybe Alena changed her tissue box in order for the new one to bring her luck. And it did:luv17:, I love this photo and her happy look when she sees her score
