Alina's interview in the "Golden Ice of Russia"

from the intro: "...while we (Alina, Daniil and I) were on our way to the Olympic press-centre, I decided not to waste time and thought I could get an interview with Alina for the "World of Figure Skating" magazine; but she was a bit shy so we ended just talking about different topics, for instance, about a gift she'd like to get. I reminded her about the fairy tale about the gold fish that granted wishes, and she immediately said: "A dog. Akita Inu. Saw it in a magazine while we were training in Japan." I was surprised: "But they are quite big, and you and your grandma live in a small rented flat in Moscow..." And Alina quietly said: "I need a friend."... So any other arguments and reasoning were meaningless. We agreed that I would write about the dog in the interview article, and maybe the parents or someone else would give her the Akita Inu puppy. That's how the Masaru story started, but that would be later...And then, after arrival, we found a cozy place for ourselves and talked about the Olympics, her victory, and how it all went."
