Hi Guys! This is my first post here. (I guess!) lol :agree::agree:
My name is Helena and I am a brazilian living in Lisbon.
I am fan of Alina as much as you guys, but I work soo much and sometimes
I read everything that you guys write but somehow I don't post anything!
Is really amazing to see that somewhere there is people who enjoy
a thing as much as you do.
Let me talk a little about my history with figure skating..
As a brazilian, I spent my life liking summer sports only, ice skating was something
so far way from me, that I have never had the interest about to watch, because imagine,
I grow up in a island with just sea and sea!
The only sport there was surf,
beach volleyball...and football :noshake: But in 2016 Summer Olympic's games went to Brazil (Rio)
and I volunteered myself to work on it. So, I worked 15 days for olympic's games.
After it started the paraolympic games, the problem is that almost 95% of the
volunteers only want to work for the normal olympic's games but does not have interest about paraolympics.
Because of that and feeling that it was the right thing to be done, I volunteered myself for the paraolympics too (most of the people got money to work on it, I was part of the only 5% that really was there for free). Because of that, the olympic's comitee is requesting me for a lot of their events,
I don't go often because as I said I work to much but when
I can I attend something, even why because now they're paying.. lolol
Anyway, I was invited by them to work for the winter olympic's games i
n South Korea. When I wrote the form about the sport I would like to work with,
I choose figure skating! (Because I did ballet all my life and it was the only winter sport that I really had something in commom).
My routine was receive the media of the countries, guide then, and than,
after competitions starts, guide the skaters after they get their scores.
Also, guide skaters to the proper media of their countries, sometimes take the skater to the bathroom, and staff like that. Also, we received a list with the skaters with underage (less than 18), to give special support (As they are minors age we have to double the attention). It was amazing because Alina was in my list (Medvdeva too), and I could get more contact with her. Even contact being resctricted due concentrations staff and rules. We only can help. (not be fans).
When I first saw Alina, in her group presentation, skating Don Quixote (I LOVE DQ), I felt in love about how perfect it was and about how she captured everyone's eyes and slience. It was different. I was so surprised, so happy, so amazed that I just discover a new sport that I could love and I it was so close to it.
Another thing that captured my eyes was her emotional strength, she holds her emotional until the end but when she is off cameras and get to the private session she is just tears. But happy tears! She is very kind and work so hard. Actually all of them. But Alina has something special, she is humble, she is honest about what she is and about what she wants and she is soo young for it! Really, I was like watching all the skaters and I it was like boring, but then came Alina and I said, OMG...What was that?? haha me and my colegues was like what just happened here... lol and the judges and everyone else was like what? It was an amazing moment. Since that moment, I am wishing and I am part of Alina's team! To be honest I really like Medvedeva too. But Alina is the number 1. Now I am totally in love about the sport, I watch all the competitions, and everything else.
Sorry if I wrote too much.. But just introducing myself, and be honest..I don't understand well about the sport, I am a newbie. Bythe way Where Can I watch the FINAL GP live? is there any site? And how about the schedule? Where could I see it?
I thing for now is it..Sorry for the long post and for my english, I know it is not good...
Peace for everyone and lets wish the best for our girl!
Go Alina!
