Zhulin congratulating Alina -

"Cool! She is a great fellow, I want to congratulate her. I am very glad that Alina is taking new heights in television too. Since it was determined by people, it means that she is deservedly recognized as the best. Keep it up," Zhulin said in an interview with Sport24 correspondent Arman Navasardyan.

I am :dbana: but also :thank:

1TV microphones at the ready, wired mikes even, so Alina is stuck in her row of seats.

However, given her dad is still professionally connected to hockey, one can assume Alina knows a lot about the game
 
Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova spoke about her love for hockey.


Today, on December 19, the skater attended the Channel One Cup match between the national teams of Russia and the Czech Republic (4:1).

“When my mother was pregnant with me, I already "went" with her to hockey games. I was taken to hockey matches since childhood. Parents actually thought that they'd have a boy whom they wanted to give in to hockey. They told me about it. But it so happened that I was born. And as a result, my life is connected with ice, with figure skating.

Have I tried hockey? Of course I have. Dad put me on skates, gave me a hockey stick and a uniform. I went and fell a couple of times. It was painful and difficult. I thought it would be easier.

Elements from figure skating in hockey? It's no secret that hockey players nowadays take skating lessons from skaters. There are several exercises. It would be very interesting to see how they perform them. Probably, it would be difficult for them,” Sport24 quotes Zagitova with reference to the First Channel broadcast.
