Hello, and welcome! Post long and post often.
Most of the posters here are really nice people, but when someone insults or attacks or otherwise tries to brush off Alina we turn into The Angriest Thread [SUP]TM[/SUP]. Please feel free to nudge things back in the direction of peace and happiness when you see that happen. :agree:
Go Alina!
Sometimes when we stray from our usual decorum, we need a good reminder....

The need for "the usual suspects" to constantly downplay Alina's achievements while puffing up others reminds me of that same telemarketing robocall I get every day....
Its like clockwork
Its annoying beyond belief
It turns me off of the seller and product.

Has there been an entire practice video floating around?
All I've seen so far is just these little clips of less than a minute on some of the skaters.
EV has always been like this
Her target, unfortunately, is not Alina but her coach. EV is a longtime enemy of Eteri. There's an video where EV was handing off Alina's silver doe award to Eteri and it was the awkwardest ceremony ever.

The real coaches support Alina. :agree:

I forgot about her!
I discount her because of her obvious agenda.
I meant more the random cranks that show up on twitter, youtube and other gathering places.

Looks like they switched up the choreo sequence
Yes, but not sure if it matters at all, or if it's any better choreographically. There isn't much difference between a 0.5s biellman vs. regular spiral, and she's been getting plenty of GOE on it as is. Not quite where I would've prioritized choreography changes, but oh well

Flawless practice even after this long flight [emoji50][emoji50] Our girl is so amazing, what more can I say [emoji22]
All these perfect practices just show where Alina's physical shape is: she is working harder and harder so all her jumps are secure. This incredible level of skill and consistency can not be achieved only with a gigantic amount of work and training.

Daniil about Alina:
She did good in training, straight after flight. There was no falls, and that's good. She is calm and comfortable.
About social media, hate, etc - we cannot take her phone but we talk to her about what to read and what not to read, and how (not) to react. We wrap her in our care and warmth, and try not to be just coaches but like parents to her.
She goes in the right direction.
