...And then - Alina! The moment she walked out the door, the fanboy called out her name. She immediately approached the fans without hesitation, despite the rain. And just like at the rink, she gave an autograph to everyone who asked and happily took selfies with the fans. The guards tried to stop her because it was raining. But she was like, "It's okay. We have an umbrella." OMG. But you know that even if you have an umbrella and if you stand in the rain for a long time, in the end you will still get wet. So does Alina. She sincerely addressed the fans and answered all their requests. And you know what? The fan who was standing behind, in desperation, extended her hand along with the programme booklet of the Ice Fantasia 2018 show, asking for an autograph on a page with Alina's photo. It was all wet. Alina took the booklet, looked at the open page and said: "It got wet in the rain." And wiped the rainwater off with her sleeve...... She wiped the water off with the sleeve of her own Nike jacket for the sake of the fans! And she signed her page. Alina spent the most time with the fans.
I have already described my yesterday's experience on DCinside. Korean figure skating fans are amazed at Alina's attitude. She skated her Black Swan three days in a row, just like she did in real competitions. She really did her best, and it surprised a lot of people. It was something outside of the Ice Show. Even the commentators were deeply shocked. And her charm...People still talk about what an amazing and admirable athlete she is, what a sweet and caring person she is, and how breathtaking her beauty is. So many people have become her fans. In South Korea, it is difficult for a Russian skater to make a good impression. (I think it has to do with Sochi 2014. It's quite a confusing thing...) But now people are saying "Alina is different" and hope to see her again in Korea soon. #alinazagitova #teamzagitova
