Alina Zagitova

Wow, I actually loved it. A red lipstick is always an excellent choice for someone with dark hair and eyes. Also this particular lipstick is not just bright red, it seems more like a combination of red and cherry-colour/magenta. And I like that it's glossy. You can totally recognize that I am already thinking about buying it. Does anyone know the exact name of the product? :laugh::luv17:

loved it too!!! but i'm weak to red on her :hap93:

i'm so glad to see her on japanese tv that much, we all know how she enjoys to spend time in Japan~ :luv17:

does anybody know if she'll be part of the Ice Fantasia like she did last year?!

Please forgive the Google translate version, but I thought this was worth posting -

“I am amazed at the strength of Alina’s character,” Goncharenko said by telephone. “It was very difficult for her, but she did not flinch, proved that she was the best - and not by chance. It is very important that she confirmed: her victories are a regularity. Even with the presence of triple axel athletes, she can win with her skating. "

“I am very happy for her,” the agency’s interlocutor noted. “Her gold medal at the World Championships is right. And for her this award, it seems to me, will be no less loved and significant than the Olympic one, because the victory at Saitame was more difficult, than in Pkhenchkhane, because the body has changed, but it copes with it. Double respect for her and best wishes. "

Glad to see that Alina receives the recognition that she deserves :love:
 
She looks so beautiful with Osakajo in the background:luv17:

Loving this Zagitova-style version of spamming:laugh:, what a contrast to earlier in the season!
 
Again, please forgive the errors due to Google Translate, here are some very touching statements from her dad in an article written by the oil company, Tatneft, one of Alina's sponsors -

“The preparation was very serious,” said the father of the figure skater Ilnaz Zagitov. “We certainly worried about our daughter, because the season was very difficult.”

"They called me to watch, but I did not fit."

During Alina’s first performance, her dad was at the Ak Bars base, where the Irbis youth ice hockey team was training. The speeches of his daughter Ilnaz Nasihovich do not watch live - they do not withstand the nerves and the emotions are going wild. Looks after - in repetition and recording. Only when they started to pour SMS on the phone, he understood that Alina had performed well.

“All sportsmen are superstitious,” smiles I. Zagitov, “and although I didn’t act personally myself, I tried to remember everything about how the day had turned out, and repeated everything exactly during Alina’s decisive hire.”

Ilnaz Nasihovich again arrived at the Ak Bars base, but did not fit the TV, although everyone — both the coaches and other staff — were absorbed in the championship. “They called me, but I didn’t come, I walked to the side,” Ilnaz Nasihovich continued. - Only when I heard that the music ends, I could not stand it. Everyone smiled and reassured me, they said that the performance was excellent. ”

“Sakura is already in full bloom there!”

On the same day, my father phoned to his daughter. She was on a doping test. Ilnaz Nasihovich congratulated, but it was not possible to talk and discuss everything. Only yesterday, literally when the number was being written up, he managed to congratulate his daughter with all his heart.

“Imagine, sakura is already in full bloom there, girls are enjoying the weather,” shared the champion's dad. “It's all over, we are very happy for the daughter!”

Ilnaz ZAGITOV: - It is touching that everyone worries about our figure skaters. Please convey through my newspaper my words of gratitude personally to President of Tatarstan Rustam Nurgalievich Minnikhanov and Director General of Tatneft Nail Ulfatovich Maganov, all residents of the republic and the Company's employees. Your support is very important for our family and especially for Alina!

I should probably add - Tatneft, the sponsor that was there from the very beginning and made it possible for Alina and her grandmother to live in Moscow and for Alina to train with Eteri! Back when nobody had a clue about the skater she would turn out to be! :cool:

Talk about backing the right horse!:clap:

Raise a glass to Tatneft! We fans owe them a lot!:cool2:

:thank::medal"
 
I'd just like to say that I made my friend watch Worlds with me and she loved Alina because she's good and is "very pretty".
So now she's a fan and stalking her IG. LOL
 
I always thought it was super random that an oil company was sponsoring an unknown young skater with mediocre results. I really wonder how this sponsorship came about initially.

I think there was some connection with her dad. Maybe he played for a hockey team they sponsored? I vaguely remember some interview I read (via Google translate) where he talked about how tough things were when Alina first went to Moscow. Staying with friends and two hour commutes on unreliable public transportation to and from the rink. He said that he approached Tatneft and asked for their help and they 'hadn't forgotten him'.

i don't know what exactly Tatneft provides but I'm pretty sure they got the much maligned (in the Japanese media) apartment for Alina and her grandmother close to the rink.
