So say we all!If they included her in the team, I would’ve felt like it was some kind of a sign of respect towards her for all the things she did for Russian skating, and I do think she deserves that kind of treatment from them.

I got Pfizered as well.Thanks for the explanation on GP @zounger and @JazzUp . Should have been obvious aggh!
Anyway to shift topics to something involving Alina in relation to her trip to Japan and COVID as well as almost all athletes.
I understood many if not most of the Russian FS team were exposed or got sick with Covid, mostly not serious cases but still. I never heard if Alina got it, a friend who is the biggest fan of hers I know in real life claims she is one of the healthiest skaters. Well aside that I saw a post on mother's day from Nathan Chan (a wonderful post on a pic with his mom) saying all his family have been vaccinated. I wasn't sure he was and of course given his age alone he would be lower priortiy. On the other hand especially in light of the upcoming games I was wondering if vaccination would be mandatory for the participants and if Russia's team as well as other countries have been making efforts in this regards.
P.S. Got my Pfizer doses myself.
In the photo you are with the Olympic champion, world and European champion ...
- Yes, we met Alina Zagitova in Novogorsk, turned out to be a very modest girl.
@JazzUp can you please provide the correct translation. I found interesting what you said. Personally I did google translate. I tried to rearrange the Japanese characters a bit and was getting the same meaning.Can you give the link with the correct translation?
Good morning from Novogorsk![]()
I got Pfizered as well.
I know that Irina Slutskaya has spoken publicly about being vaccinated recently. So good on her for that!
So starting to build the timeline for the new season. First event we know Alina is planning to participate is Moskvina's anniversary show on 26 September.
Interestingly Nobelhorn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_CS_Nebelhorn_Trophy this season will take place on 22-25 September. I t will be an interesting event considering it will be Olympics qualifier for many skaters. We have some great memories from Alina participation there, it will be nice to see her there again. It has also gala usually. The fact that there is one day difference with 26 is not a big problem since Alina showed this season for example that can skate in one day difference (Mishin anniversary show - Ice Age gala in March).
)I was scared too, but I was more scared not to get it. I'm very glad I did. I had almost zero side effects after both rounds of the vaccine. I felt tired for a day or so. That's it. My friend who is a nurse had about a week of feeling like crap after her second shot but not enough to miss work. She did say 'it kicked her butt.' Another friend felt bad for 2 weeksI’m so freaking scared. I think I will take the moderna in the middle or end of this month.
My husband and daughter are already vaccinated not fully yet but they are fine and they keep asking me to do it because they are afraid of contaminating me.
I was wondering if the athletes and coaches will also get the covid vaccine.
but again not enough to miss work.
But there are many people who don't have any side effects at all and I did feel tired for a day afterwards. When I say tired I mean I slept in, got up and laid on the sofa, took a nap, did nothing, took another nap, did more of nothing and went to bed. 

Alina is already legally an adult. She’s not a child anymore. Of course in the eyes of her family and partially in our eyes she’s still a kid, understandably she’s still really young.I accidentally stumbled across a twitter convo where someone talked about Rozanov and men in fs getting too close to teenage girls. Someone mentioned the rumour that Alina is being groomed as well (apparently she is dating a hockey player who lives in the states, plays for the NHL and seems to be older...).
I have heard the rumor that she is dating a hockey player and assumed it was a young player from CKSA or something (I love and admire Alina but her private life is nobody's business so I never bothered).
But the twitter convo has not left my mind since as I find the thought of Alina being anything near groomed unbearable.
I assumed that you guys are more trust-worthy and informed than some twitter experts which is why I would like to ask you for your opinion (I hate gossip, but this thought is just scary so please tell me I don't have to worry)
from Alexandre's interview:Alina looks like a munchkin from Khrustal'nyi herself in this photo
although Alexandre from CSKA made sure everyone knew who this munchkin was with his caption: "The best figure skater and some noname".![]()
