Alina Zagitova

Oh, wow. Alina's dad met Dats! https://www.instagram.com/p/BiMGK41j6qg/ Was it at some kind of big official ceremony? I see Pavl sporting his Olympic gold (and some sort of a medal?)

That is from the ceremony in the Kremlin shortly after the Olympics where Putin awarded the medalists with state honors. You can see Alina's mom and dad in the back row of seats (and Eteri, Daniil, and Sergei in front of them) at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NUnqzyhOXk
 

:thank:

Both cats have the same angry look haha :laugh: Although Iriska is on another level :biggrin:

:laugh: Yes, I saw the picture and wondered where Yulia found Iriska's angry silver brother!

Can I say how glad I am to hear that this man is wearing his own Olympic gold medal and not Alina's? :laugh2:
 
Sofia Samodurova posted a new photo on her insta-story...a collage with many photos from the banquet, including one with our sweet Alina :love: I think the girls had a great time there :rock:
 
I love that Tiffany Z. and Jonathan G. follow Team Zagitova's IG Alina fanpage and like their posts :)
 
For once, Iriska doesn't look grumpy. Magic! The magic of an Airweave mattress, they should write that into their ads. "Grumpy cat no longer grumpy after good sleep."

I found videos of Alina's copyswan performing! She does very well, plenty of one footed skating. :biggrin:

And so good too....I'm having a Ted Barton moment: how do they teach them to skate like that in Russia.

I understand that even such small (and cute) kid masters those elements, but the thing she remember the whole choreo, that is worth of admiring even more.

I love her spirals. They are shaky, but everyone has to start somewhere.

It makes me so happy to see that Alina is inspiring a new generation of little girls. Maybe someday in the future, a Team Zagitova Instagram account will be making side by side photos of Alina with Iriska and a future Olympic champion with her own cat. :biggrin:
 
Hey, guys, I was watching some Alina content on YouTube and I found out that there were a TV channel in Brazil that broadcast the Grand Prix Final. I was so surprised because I’m from Brazil and I had no idea and end up watching online. Anyway, the commentators were so so so nice and said amazing things about Alina, so I though about sharing it with you guys.
I recognized one of the commentators: he was a ISU international judge and now works as commentator. I remember him because he said beautiful things about Alina at the Olympics broadcast on this same channel. And he also commented the Olympics in Sochi. (he always coments in figure skating broadcasts)

About the short program they said that Alina has a beautiful face, espetacular interpretation and called her a princess. The former international judge said that she has sensitivity and gets involved with the program and that her program is very very well choreographed, full of transitions. They liked the Charlotte spiral into the double axel. They also said that her dress matches the Phantom theme very well. The international judge, at the end, said that Alina’s triple flip is beautiful. And the other one said that Alina has a angelic face.
They also explain that Rika has a more difficult technical content with her 3A and that Alina could probably end up second.

About the long program:

Paulo, one of the commentators said:
“Amazing. She danced Carmen, a acclaimed opera by Bizet that tells the story of a gypsy in Seville. This red and black outfit is all about flamenco. She fits the costume... her expression as a gypsy that seduces everyone with that sarcastic smile. She lived this performance. I loved it.”
The international judge agreed:
“The interpretation was extremely well studied. Very good countenance. The key is the skill that this girl has. It is impressive. She is an Olympic champion with merit.”
He also mentions that she doesn’t have a big set up before the jumping passes, she jumps out of nowhere. And that he knows that she can spin better than she did do at this program and everything else but the 3LzLo was beautiful.
