And beat her competition by over 10 points. Including skaters with a quad and triple axel.

Next season she will be 17. Quite a few skaters had amazing seasons when they were 17 years of age. Thinking of Adelina Soknikova, among others. I hope Alina has her best season yet.

There are some instructions on Twitter on how to vote because it is confusing. You should tap to the left of Alina's picture, where there is a small grey check mark, and then a pop up will appear asking you to confirm and you say yes. The check mark will then turn blue and your vote was counted!

Why in the world did they hand out so many gold medals at the world championships like the small gold medals for the short program and free skate? That should be exclusive to the Olympics only. Make those small metal special they're very diluted by handing them out at the world championships. But not doing on at the Olympics is ridiculous since they do this at Worlds.

I was hoping Alina would have a real offseason after the World Championships but I hear she's training again. She has a bad knee I hope they're keeping an eye on that.
 
Will Alina compete next season?
She has so many shows that it makes me wonder.
Also it is not typical for Eteri's skaters to make so many shows espeacially during the time of the camp in Novogorsk.

There are plenty of currently active skaters skating at these shows. I don't see why it would be an issue. Not to mention the later shows are exhibitions of the new season's programs, so they're useful practice anyway.

Well , we will see what it is happening. Usually Eteri's team have holiday in May, so Alina will have like 1-2 months of training, in total, during the summer, before Test skates and maybe a Challenger in September.
Not to add that she wants to learn a quad? or not?

Phil Hersh -

1. It’s time to give Russia’s Alina Zagitova full – and massive – credit for what she has done the past two seasons.

Zagitova and her coaching team were unfairly criticized in some quarters for what turned out to be a brilliant strategy of doing all seven jumping passes in the second half bonus area of the 2018 Olympic free skate. Not only was that an impressive feat of stamina, the bonus points Zagitova got for those jumps were the difference between her winning gold and getting silver.

When a Zagitova worn down by a post-Olympic whirl of appearances flopped to fifth in the 2018 World Championships, staggered to fifth at this season’s Russian Championships and was beaten at Europeans, there were suggestions she might be a one-hit wonder. Then, as she later said in an interview on the Russian Skating Federation website, Zagitova became so unsettled by the pressure and the thought of failure at worlds her jumps deserted her in practice, and she had thoughts of quitting.

Some of her struggles were not unexpected. She had grown some three inches since the Olympics. Her body proportions were changing from those of a girl to those of a young woman. New rules minimized one of her strengths by limited skaters to just three jumping passes in the bonus area.

And Zagitova overcame all that, the psychological and the physical issues and the scoring changes, to win the 2019 worlds with two clean programs, a dazzling short and a strong, commanding free. At 16, she had added a world title to her Olympic title. That is worthy of unqualified acclaim.

>_> this literally applies to like, every senior lady skating in these shows. They all say they want to learn quads, they're all doing challengers, they all have some kind of fed preview/camp before that. I don't see why you're making an exception for 1 skater and not the others.

Yes, of course she will compete, because she said so, so no need to worry.
Also Alina had many ice shows last off-season, too, and she is the current World Champion, so everything turned out just fine. :thumbsup:
