Alina Zagitova

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.
Yes!

For people who think she might retire at 16 or 17 years old what is she supposed to do? Move into the MMA field? ;) she for sure will skate another season or two as long as her knees can handle it. And I don't think she's afraid of occasionally being surpassed by someone doing a triple Axel or quads.

:love::o: she is truly the sweetest, I am reminded why I stan (not that I needed to be)

That made me tear up. She really is something special.

I read a post on another forum saying that she asked one of her fan groups that always buys her gifts and flowers not to get her anything for her birthday because she already had everything she wanted and to please make a donation to a children's charity instead. (I hope the person that posted that information doesn't mind me sharing it here.)
 
Is it just me or it appears that winning the Worlds gave her some kind of a boost on her confidence? She look so much relaxed and happier, even after the Olys.
 
For me, Alina's best program is Black Swan:luv17:, i would love to see her skate it again now when she is more mature, maybe wearing other costume.
 
Actually Alina is not doing that much show as her competitors currently. See Rika, she skates nonstop since Words. She did every show possible, then go to WTT and then go to shows again. Evgenia was also touring, than go to Russia and now is touring again. Liza was doing SOI as well. To Fantasy on ice was added all 3 of them - Alina, Zhenya as well as Liza. Rika is there too.

Alina is currently in Sambo prepping for Eteri's show but she is in her club, so she is normally training what her team thing it's best for her. Daniil said in interview that when she came back from Japan, she came to the rink and start training as usually. Also confirm that they are going for 3A (as he said it's not mandatory in their group but yes they are looking that way, that Anna and Sasha are jumping 3A in harmess very day at practice too, only Alena is not due to injury). They confirm seeking for quads few time before already. But they know what it's needed to be done. It's her goal in the first place. She is very well awared that time when she will need it will come, and she is determined to react. So we needs to trust her. If Alina herself things her shows are ok, than they are ok. I don't think her team wants to write her of, too. They are now kinda criticized for using only young skaters, Alina seems to have nice relationship with them all. They don't need to listen everywhere how they only use her and while they have something better and younger they kick her out. They will give her an amazing programs and she will learn them the best she can. Everyone will be helpful. If she will be able to do 4 or 3A she will do it, if not, she will not or add it later.

But late summer shows can be good for a lot of reasons. It take a pressure of a bit again after tough preparation. It's fun for her, she likes it and she don't needs to be nervous. She also can debute there her new programs, which is a big advantage as a pressure is not that huge there. Other thing is that shows are developing skills too. Also other skaters will be still adding into shows. She is not even a bit under average. Don't worry about that.

Alina was at SOI and she was doing commercial too and I don’t see any of her competitors doing it in Japan. So she had obligations.
I would like to see her at WTT but when you already won a medal at worlds the main competition, it’s fair to let your place for someone else.
Even if she’s in her club, she’s still doing shows, the best training for me, showing your skills without pressure.
 
OMG guys look what I just saw on Teamzagitova twitter!! Looks like she will do Don Quijote tonight!! https://twitter.com/teamzagitova/status/1119553837315055617?s=21

Oh, wow, that‘s really cool and unexpected. I love her DQ program and it will be interesting to see how she performs it a year later. Will she bring her tutu back? She’s grown since last year so I guess it won‘t fit anymore..? But I can‘t imagine this program without the tutu.. it‘s part of what made it so iconic. Let‘s see.

Alina is such a wonderful person :sad21:

That story felt nice to read, Alina is so good to little children, and I smiled at the part where Alina's mother proudly said "she was gold", she deserves to be proud of raising an amazing daughter.

Now, for serious business, vote for Alina! :hap10: She has the most votes right now, let's give her even more!

This made 40 y. o. man shed tears of joy. Alina truly has the heart of gold. :love:
And I just love how she didn't even mention she is olympic golden medalist till her proud mother (who wouldn't be proud for such daughter) revealed it:thumbsup:
Where is the story I never read it?

Fame has not changed Alina.
