I'm soooo happy for you that you got to see Alina while she was in Mexico!I'm going back home from the trip to see Alina in Mexico City.
On Saturday a few of us went to see Alina's night masterclass. We sat there with our banners as the class started, Alina skated by us, we called her name and she smiled and waved at us.

Wow! Lucky you! I think everybody's green here...I'm going back home from the trip to see Alina in Mexico City.
On Saturday a few of us went to see Alina's night masterclass. We sat there with our banners as the class started, Alina skated by us, we called her name and she smiled and waved at us.
Then we watched the class quietly to not distract her.
The class ended a bit late. After the class, as she was leaving the ice, a guy from our group managed to talk to her and ask her directly if we could take pics and get autographs. She said yes and the manager and organizers discussed it and finally said yes too.
There were 4 of us, 3 of us had travelled from far away to see Alina and they let us in backstage to where Alina was. She came out of her room after stretching, she said hi and we gave her some presents, then she signed our photos and took pics with each of us, she said thank you and left.
We were very lucky because the event organizers and manager were not as accesible the other days of the masterclass and they were very strict with the planned schedule. If it weren't for the guy who asked Alina directly, probably we wouldn't have been able to meet her.
Alina is a great teacher, very attentive and patient. Even though she was jetlagged and tired, she was very accesible and sweet to fans who wanted to get a pic or an autograph.
I'm very grateful for this experience. I feel very lucky for having being able to watch Alina compete and then for her coming to my country and being able to meet her. Such a dream come true!![]()
(just like this smiley) ... But very happy for you of course at the same time!

Here they are last year in Khrustal'nyi:
"Guys, my mission has been accomplished))) An in-person acquaintance took place ... I admitted that I'm Alina's main fan, and it turned out that Alina has seen me in "The Phantom of the Opera" when she was preparing her short program last season, and my son now has photo with the Olympic Champion!!!"
