Go Alina!
I think she should be very proud of herself for her wonderful performance.
Here is a lovely picture of her with Sasha and Alena. For once Alina is the tallest

This podium makes me teary. :sad21: It's like a dream podium for me, with the most meritorious ladies on top. (ofc Anna being very close to this podium). And I think we'll see a similar podium after the FS, because they just are...unique, talented and hard-working girls.
About Alina today, what can I say? She is a queen and I would have given her only 10s in PCS, that's how amazing she was! Pressure, expectations, people who criticise her...does all this matter? Not to Alina, because her nerves are so strong, after so much hard work she can go very confident on the ice and perform her best.
I agree, I am starting to wish RusNats had a pewter medal like the U.S. if only so 4A could share a podium. They are all such talented, hardworking girls.
I am looking forward to Daniil's selfie after the medal ceremony

Gosh she was very good. Make that performance in that pressure.. Unbelievable. She is in the history already, but she is really growing to be legend.
When I think about she got this program, stuggle with understanding .. and now we can see confident, mature, artisticaly masterpieces .. that's amazing.

A nice translation from a post by teamzagitova
- What do you think about your current hire?
- There is always something to strive for. But, in general, I am pleased.
- Everyone wondered why you came to Saransk later than the rest, and how did you build the training process?
- Just on our rink two ice for half an hour. I had more training at home. Moreover, I still arrived in advance, just a little later than the others.
- There was an impression that you were very nervous during the warm-up. This is true?
- I wasn't nervous. Just a little bit did not feel the body. Then she gathered.
- What does it mean - did not feel the body?
- Feeling as if hands are on one side, and legs are flying to the other. Incomprehensible feeling.
- What did you do after the Grand Prix finals? Did you manage to practice something in this short period of time?
- We paid a lot of attention to the program. Worked on the stability of jumps, so that they are clearer and higher.
- How do you like the atmosphere in the stands?
- Very warm. I noticed on the first day that there are a lot of posters with my image. I am very pleased.
- You were presented with another huge bear. Still have a place in the apartment?
- In general, very little space. Masaru me and toys slightly pressed. I am very pleased when they give such big bears, but they have nowhere to put.
- What do you usually do with them?
- I leave the house. I give to my sister. We live in two cities, therefore, here and there.
- At the Grand Prix stage in Moscow, you said that the toys would soon sleep on the bed, and you would be on the floor. Has this happened yet?
- Not yet. But, I think, soon.
- You always said that the most important thing for you is to skip programs cleanly, and places are not important. Something has changed?
- Not. I recently became the second at the Grand Prix stage. For me, this was not a disappointment. You have to rejoice at any place, because at the following starts you can not even become the second. You should appreciate the fact that you are standing on a pedestal at such a big start.
- You are one of the few Olympic champions who continue their careers. Do you feel that in this respect you are rewriting the history of women's skating?
- I do not know. I just didn’t have that much competition in my career. There is no feeling that I am tired of riding. I want to strive further. It's so interesting to go through the competition.

will the Russian Federation and the Russian judges want all 3 medalist from Eteri? I guess it won't matter because only Alina will be going to Europeans and worlds because Sasha and Alina or Anna will not this year. The deptn is just unbelievable of the Russian ladies and it's only the tip of the iceberg think how it's going to be in a year or two.
Yea it really doesn't metter. But truth is, that they almost dominate.. But I don't know. I dont wanna speak there about other ladies, but when I see her with them, I really apreciate how much she've grown and mature. She is very beautiful young lady. She is 16 but doesnt look like a child anymore, not visualy, not by skating. (What's more, she is like no one, she has unusual face, she is interesting.) All aspect of her skating are better and better, and it's not so long she was as small as 3A. Especially I admire her bigger flexibility, with age it's usually harder, but she improve there.
It's not a long time ago since she join Eteri's group, desn't have all triples, broken leg and arm and start again. Today her pic with Alena and Sasha really made me think about that.

Yes she helped bring Alina's new big plushie home
Awesome! Is there a picture or video of it?
Reading this part made me so happy. She really understands that even placing on the podium is an achievement and I remember what she said in GPF, that she can't just come out with quads and 3A the next day and can only try her best to be clean and get better gradually. That takes so much maturity to accept!

She has the mentality of both a champion and a true sportsman.
She realizes that you WIN Silver, not LOSE Gold.
Some notable "poor sports" who trashed their silver or bronze medals could really learn something.
