Alina Zagitova

Natalia Bestemyanova saying nice things about Alina -

Second place Zagitova - a good result?

- I think that she will still fight for first places. She is a champion, she will strive for victory. Today, the main thing for her is to get to the finals, and there she will already fight. Now second place gives her such an opportunity. Her next stage is in Japan. Everything is gradual. We will not guess yet what and how it will be. Two more weeks.

- Alina says that the main thing for her is to ride and perform in pleasure, and places are secondary. After all her victories, what do you think, is it possible not to be upset by defeats?

- Firstly, athletes do not always say what they really feel. And not only athletes, but also coaches, functionaries. What does she say? What is upset to be spared? What for? She is a champion, she is a beauty, she is a queen. Alina will say so to keep up with her. But I am sure that she will do everything to improve and compete.

I am delighted with her programs - both short and arbitrary. Alina became so adult and deep, such an penetration into music. Something amazing and amazing. I would like to note that it is very difficult to set yourself up for a fight when you do not own quadruples, an axel in three and a half turns. And she somehow motivates herself, and from this the beauty that comes from her simply absorbs. Zagitova gives hope to those skaters who do not have multi-turn jumps. Her mission is very important.

Well said, you still can fight and medal or win without quads or 3A. Last year Alena winning the GPF is an example and this year Alina with silver.

More comments from the others -

Dumont French trainer and commentator , was delighted after the demonstration: "She is so real, gorgeous. This number is amazing and deserves to be presented at the competitions." ⠀
⠀
Nelson Montfort, a French sports commentator after the demonstration: “She is the best artistically. We watched a beautiful film. It's nice to watch it.” ⠀
 
I would like to see Alina’s programs with the french commentators. For worlds they said that Alina’s work was like making a beautiful jewel for the free and the short was a nice and an exceptional program.
 
Some incredibly beautiful fanart of Navka and Alina. -

This is quite possibly one of my favorite comments ever about Alina from Sports.ru, even with GT the feeling comes through. -

Blue corn

Even if Alina after OI decided to forget about FC, would spend whole days walking with Masaru and buying cotton candy, we would still love her wholeheartedly....

Even if Alina walks around the arena and just smiles at the audience, the audience will still come. She has crowds of people at autograph sessions. This girl is unique. And they love her now not medals, but for her light.

From FSO-

"Alina Zagitova is the first Russian figure skater to win all the titles in the world figure skating. At 17 years old, the Olympic champion and European champion - 2018, the world champion - 2019 continues to impress the audience with flawless, incredibly complex and beautiful performances in single figure skating. The Challenger talked with the athlete about training, discipline and motivation.

About training

- Figure skating is not just ice skating and jumping, it is an art: to reveal the image in your programs using technique, choreography, beauty, artistry, a costume and even a make-up with a hairstyle. I work with my trainers on all of these components. Figure skating is a very beautiful sport, so everything in detail should be thought out in the image. Each element affects the final score in the competition.

For the skater, as for any professional athlete, discipline and mode are important. The mode in everything: in training, nutrition, sleep and rest. Also important are qualities such as patience, endurance and a desire to achieve your goal, because professional sports are hard daily work.

Training days are successful, but they can be very difficult. For example, when you learn a new element, it may not work out for some time - this is normal, you need to continue to work until the plan is realized.
I always acted as a loner, but sometimes I perform in various shows in tandem with other skaters. I have such experience, but in single skating, as the name implies, a partner is not needed (laughs).

About the trainers

We interact with Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze. - Approx. Ed.), Daniil Markovich (Gleichengauz. - Approx. Ed.) And Sergey Viktorovich (Dudakov. - Approx. Ed.) Every day. And we win all victories together. I would certainly not have reached such heights. I really love my team.

Once at a viewing, Eteri Georgievna saw the potential in me and knitted under her wing. This was the decisive moment of my career as a skater.
I can not imagine my sporting path without Eteri Georgievna - she is my mentor in sports and in life. I will always be grateful to her for this.

Most of the time I spend training in the gym and on the ice. My main communication is with coaches, and also with my beloved family. I have time to go to the cinema and cafe (smiles), I have a weekend for this. I love spending time with my loved ones and with the dog Masaru.

About motivation

In childhood, my parents motivated me. My father is a professional hockey player, and I grew up on his example. What is sport, I already knew from the cradle. Mom persistently drove me to the rink. Later, the main motivation for me was the desire to climb the podium - this is a feeling of courage and pride that I want to experience again and again, and for this the athletes are ready to work to the fullest.

About nutrition

Sometimes I allow myself to eat something harmful. But only sometimes! All skaters watch the weight, since each conditional 100 grams affects the jumping technique. At the same time, nutrition should be balanced so that the body receives all the necessary vitamins. The loads are large, and it is necessary that the body has the strength to cope with them.

About beauty

On ice, convenient equipment is important, which would not distract from the training process. At the same time, it is important for me to look beautiful, it lifts my mood, and I feel more confident. The same thing in the gym and in choreography classes. I train in PUMA uniform. I really like her stylish and diverse models for sports. I have running and workout sneakers and just walking shoes, and also PUMA Barbie sneakers.
Figure skating is my life, I love it and would like to continue to practice this sport."

Thanks for sharing Finley! So interesting and nice to see Alina’s own words about these things. They’re very scarce after all!
 
On the technical side of Alina's skating in IdF, the jumps maybe not the best this time, but I think the spins were better than in test skates and JO.

In SP I think she was for a fraction of a second behind her music or at least how it looked to me. You can notice it in the small steps on toes that she does during the step sequence by hitting the guitar notes. This time they were not aligned so well. Bytheway this is one of my best moments in the program and it's also a factor of the choreographical complexity of it, and the precision in execution that it needs.

In FS because of the deduction (absurd) she received she was cautious and the opposite effect was created, she was a bit ahead of the music. This affected a bit the timing in the execution of the spiral and the step sequence.

Next time all these, jumps included, will be fixed and the result will be a lot better.
