Alina Zagitova

Maya has it - after that popped first attempt, she went for another 4T. And after cutting her finger during a spin, she skated on with a bloody bindi like nothing happened :)

Beautiful girl who is as tough as nails.

Please tell me maya did not get blamed for the blue to loss. Filling in for alyona at the last minute had to be very hard.

I'm glad Alina enjoyed this captaining experience so much. The team camaraderie on both sides with sensational. I think it was a major uccess as the ratings prove.

I also thank the final press conference tension between Alina and Evgenia and the instigator Ermolina was overblown. These 2 young ladies are cordial with each other they are not close but they certainly are not the amusing Plushenko and Yagudin relationship either where there is bad blood 15 years later.

The team competition went well the girls disagreed in the final press conference. Okay. That's life.
 
I want to celebrate Anna and Alina as teammates and friends. Anna is a very special girl. Also Team Zagitova's support for everyone was first rate :points: :cheer2:





Finally, I also gathered my courage to try to describe the incredible emotions that I experienced during 3 days of competition.
I think it was a real figure skating holiday⛸✨
And I am so glad to be a part of this celebration!
Thank you to our Figure Skating Federation and @ 1tv for this! And, of course, to all athletes for their struggle and dedication! ❤️➰💙
For me it was the first experience of team competition. I tried to support the guys, give them strength, while going out on the ice I received this energy in a multiple size back💥
It was also an opportunity to get to know everyone better and feel the real team spirit! (Now I will always cheer and worry even more about the guys at all competitions🙈 ♥ ️)
For this special thanks to our captain @ azagitova ♥ ️ and @ alexei.yagudin🔥 You did everything to cheer up, support and charge our Red car for victory! 🚘❤️🏆 And here it is impossible not to remember the incredible feedback from the audience! 🤩👏🏼🤘🏼
Of course, I would like to thank my coaches for the difficult preparation passed for these competitions. We still have a lot of work ahead and new goals💫✨
And in conclusion I would like to say a huge thank you to my fans I am extremely pleased to feel your faith in me during my performance and to read your words of support! You help me to cope with any difficulties ♥ ️
These competitions were not easy for me ...
And I am not upset at all, as I did my best at the moment.

Jonathan's IGS -

What about the arena (Alina) as a captain?

"I can't believe it !!! I really cheered and cared for everyone. She really helped the team win. I've done 300% of the captain's mission !!"

(I think it should read "she" but I am not sure. Multiple translations happening here :scratch2:)

 
It is not okay to post a misleading video with a "fragmented" translation. I don't care how much 'time pressure' this person felt like they were under. It does not justify posting an edited version of events that misrepresents what Alina said in the press conference. 🤬 It's good that they deleted and the person has sincerely apologized. It would have been nice if they had come to this realization before TSL went with this version that is based on Alina's responses being "completely lost and misintrerpreted".

I'm so thankful that ArtLove took the time to post a complete video with an accurate translation of the relevant statements. Hopefully it clarifies exactly what was said and in what context.


Yes, I deleted the post about Alina and Evgenia press conference because

1. The transcript that I based my translations on was not complete and some important parts turned out to be missing. The text translation was more wholistic, but still covered some fragments. However, in the video cover, out of time pressure, I decided to only translate main phrases said in the end... but I realized, if someone saw just that video, the idea of what Alina was answering to would be completely lost and misinterpreted. That was not good journalism from my side and deffinitely not my intention. I sincerely apologise.

2. THE AMOUNT OF NEGATIVITY that kept flowing in and escalating was just not healthy for ANYONE.
I apologise on behalf of everything that happened in the comment section, to all skaters and all fans involved.

Of course, I wasn't born yesterday, when posting about this topic I knew it would be controversial but I truly never expected to see so much hate, so much poison spat out left and right, I NEVER want my platform to be a place for such behavior.

Thank you, Ermolina. Your epic stupidity gave us this classic moment that shall live forever in the history of Zagistan - the moment when Alina was done with taking crap. :drama: The Red Queen was born. :bow: We owe it all to you :palmf:


This moment is pure gold!
hehe, Alinka as always is a meme material. I swear there’s a meme like that with Willi Wonka.
She’s like „oh. Really?“
 
Alina defending Andrei from Alexei is a favorite.
Their dialogue there is also worth posting. :laugh:

Yagudin: Of course we would like to get to raise and shout "Bravo!", but we don't. Let's face the truth.
Alina: It's alright, stop dramatizing!
Y: I'm not dramatizing, I'm only evaluating what our team member have presented. Alas, we saw a failed, though a very difficult jump element - the quad flip. Andrey underrotated it a little bit and stumbled on it. Then, no one could have predicted, but on one of his best elements - the quad toe loop - another fall happened.
A: It's alright, move along! [pushing Yagudin]
Y: Alina, you always have everything alright somehow.
A: It's fine.
Y: Not fine, let's sort this out.
A: Because the athlete fought to the end.
Y: He had no choice, we wouldn't have let him off the ice if he didn't!
