For so many reasons today is a fairy tale. One with a happy ending.

Agree. I am relieved for so many reasons, aside from skating. For Alina, however, I am more than relieved.For so many reasons today is a fairy tale. One with a happy ending.
the landing was fine, actually - she fell after that, when her blade got into a groove (Masha talked about the quality of ice in her stories, it was awful, with puddles even!)Aside from one less perfect landing on 3Lz
I think she is dealing with a slight injury. Her ankle was taped and the team Dr. was there, but clearly it made no difference to her performance.Agree. I am relieved for so many reasons, aside from skating. For Alina, however, I am more than relieved.
For someone not training at full force, she has all her hardest jumps in place. Aside from one less perfect landing on 3Lz all others were clean, including all transitions. Her spins are as good as they always have been.
She seems to have grown, and everything still seems to be in top shape. Glad to know she’s not injured either, and is feeling good.
I was also relieved to see that her relationship with Daniil is still the same as it always been. It‘s just good to know, that she’s happy content with people around her.
I sincerely think she made the right call at the beginning of the season, and seems to be in the right place mentally, emotionally and physically.

she hasn't competed in 11 months, isn't training as she used to, and is busy with studies and tv recordings - but still manages to perform TWO competition-worthy programmes with all her hardest jumps in 1 hourFor someone not training at full force
I love to see it!
Or inspiring!Imagine you are Alina's classmate, typical student. You come to a lecture room, thinking you are totally unable to manage all your things, school, friends, family, hobbies. You are not even determined what to do with your life after school. Then you raise your eyes and see this girl, who is managing school, sport, TV presence, pets and cooking for her sister. Must be frustrating a little.![]()
