From Alina Zagitova - Queen of Ice VK -
Alina spoke about her condition before the start of the ceremony of presenting the sports award“ Match! 5 years".
- I am fine. She came from training. I'm going to have a show now, I'm getting ready. I will show two programs, one will be new. Now my life is more intense. The university was added to the training. Very interesting, but at first it was hard to get into it all. Unusual terminology. It has become easier now. I was told that the headman would monitor her progress and immediately went to her. I began to study more often, because I understand that it is necessary for life.
It's not very easy for me to ask athletes questions. Sometimes I am asked to ask a question how they feel, but as an athlete I understand that this is not a very good question. If an athlete fell, it is clear that he was upset, - said Zagitova in an interview with Dmitry Zanin in a live broadcast on the Instagram account of Match TV.

Alina commented on the victory in the nomination "Most Popular Sportswoman"
- I want to say thank you for such an award, because it is very important to me. Thanks to the trainers who have always been with me. I am extremely grateful to them, because they continue to invest in me. I won this award together with them. Thank you to my family for supporting me very much. And, of course, thanks to the people who voted for me, because I know how many people root for me and worry about me. It is very important for me.
Working as a show host is very difficult. Since athletes are not very talkative, I am now specially studying to speak well with people. Now I have a speech technique tutor. I have already learned a lot of tongue twisters. I also ran into the problem of asking the athletes if they were upset. When I participated in competitions, I fell down and they asked me such questions, I was very annoyed. It is obvious.
Will I return to sports? We'll see. Now the coronavirus is very difficult. A lot of competitions are canceled, some of them are in question. This is a difficult situation for the whole sport.
When was the last time I saw Medvedeva and do I have forbidden topics? I prefer to talk only about myself, about my life. I think it will be difficult when I return. It's a sport.
I have a good attitude towards haters. I used to pay a lot of attention to them, I was worried, but now I understand that there is nowhere without it. This is an incentive to rise even higher. I have built a fortress, only relatives are allowed there.
Fans come to my skating rink to take pictures. Because of the coronavirus, many people are not allowed in, they are standing on the street, I feel really sorry for them. I am very pleased when they ask for a photo.
I like live broadcast more, because I like to do everything quickly and as productively as possible. I'm not a scandal on the set. If you need to rewrite something, I will, of course, rewrite it, ”Zagitova said during the broadcast of the“ Match! 5 years".
