Presenter: what do you want in your future? After the Olympic season, after retirement. Do you want to be a coach? Would you like to be a coach?
Alina: I decided for myself that I will not make plans for the future. I always say that. Because we don't know where life will lead us at all. What will we do. And naturally, I like it in the field of journalism and television. Naturally and as a coach. I think that it is very worthy to pass on experience to the younger generation. It's important for me.
Presenter: You have a lot of fans here in Mexico. Do you like it here? What do you think?
Alina:Listen. I really liked it here. Because this is my first time in Mexico. And when fans even met me at the airport with banners with my name, toys, flowers. And there was such an interesting moment that they brought a column and turned on the music where "Alina Zagitova" was sung. It was super funny and enjoyable for me. And when I went all the way to Mexico, I realized that it is very warm here. I've even visited the sights already. These are the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. I was charged with positive emotions and energy. There is some incredible aura, I can't even describe it in words. But, of course, I came to study with children, to share my experience in a master class. And I can say that the children are trying very hard, they look me in the eyes. And it can be seen that they want to train, want to develop. It is a pleasure for me to study with them.
I am very pleased that I was invited and invited to master classes in such distant countries. I am very pleased with this.
Presenter: What are your impressions of Mexican figure skating at the moment?
Alina: At the moment, of course, she is slightly behind in development. But this is understandable, because there are completely different rules and it is quite difficult for coaches to exist and train within this framework. Therefore, at the moment for Mexico it is decent, worthy. And I can say that there are several athletes who jump and skate well.
Presenter: You have a lot of fans all over the world, what would you tell them? Probably from yourself to other people who want to be like you?
Alina: I would like to wish more. Naturally now health. Always go towards the goal that you have set for yourself. This is very important because it has saved me more than once. I set myself some tasks, goals, sometimes I write them. But I never tell anyone (laughs). And when they come true, this is a very good indicator for me. Naturally, live, be happy, be happy. And all the best to you.
Presenter: Thank you very much for the interview, for coming. It is very pleasant that you are here with us, passing on your knowledge.
Alina: muchas gracias
