Alina Zagitova

second round of expert calling has started, with Zhulin leading the fray and whining again about Alina's huge earnings for a silly match (poor sod still can't get over the fact he lost a :poop: load of money when he bet against Alina in Pyongchang) :ROFLMAO:
 
Alina keeps trolling :)



2018 Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova will perform in an exhibition boxing match against Tokyo Olympic champion in the weight category up to 57 kg Albert Batyrgaziev

🗣"I'm interested in exploring my limits and trying new things! Boxing is the kind of sport that gives you the feeling of jumping into an ice hole, and I'm very glad that the Department of Sports has created the right conditions for this. It's also great an opportunity to show that girls in figure skating are real fighters! I hope that the sparring show will not end with my victory in the first round," Zagitova said.

🗣 "It's great that athletes from other disciplines try their hand at boxing, this experience will be very useful for them. I support Alina's decision to test herself in an exhibition fight and I'm glad that one way or another I will act as her coach. I wonder how figure skating skills will help her. As for the fight itself, we will work beautifully and for the benefit of both of us - after all, this is not a battle for the championship. But I will not give respite," said Batyrgaziev.

I gotta say I am thoroughly impressed - Alina will be "sparring" with an Olympic champ ! I would not say she is trolling, she is being ironic)
 
it's getting funnier with each minute:

"The coach of the Olympic champion Albert Batyrgaziev, Eduard Kravtsov, denied the participation of the boxer in the show fight against the Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova."

Alina's "winning in the first round" trash-talk/threat worked :ROFLMAO:

again, Alina has not said a word yet, it's all coming from the "informed media sources" :)

finally, a confirmation from the organizers:

"a training session with Alina Zagitova & Albert Batyrgaziyev will be held at 14:30 on June 25th"
 
Too hard for me. Please, what is Alina talking about?


Alina said she had an eventful day) First she said she successfully passed an exam on "History of Art" at her Uni after doing a training session in the morning. Then she shared a story about encountering a 92-year old woman at a grocery store who could not afford to buy milk. So Alina helped her and gave her some more money. Alina is asking her fans to not be indifferent and try to help old people who might be in need of help.
 
the saga continues... :)

"Batyrgaziev backed out of the training sparring with Zagitova, Saitov became a new opponent

Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova will hold a demonstration boxing sparring against two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov.

The sparring will take place on June 25 at Luzhniki as part of the Moscow Sports Day.

It was previously reported that Zagitova's opponent would be Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Albert Batyrgaziev, but he withdrew due to an injury.
“Unfortunately, due to an old injury that bothered me in the last fight, I really won’t be able to participate in an open training session with Alina Zagitova, which was supposed to take place as part of the Moscow Sports Day on June 25th.

The idea was great, but the injury does not give me the opportunity to participate,” said Batyrgaziev.

Saitov is 48 years old and won the 1996 and 2000 Olympics."

🥊 Alina Zagitova will take part in a master class with two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov!

Albert Batyrgaziev will not be able to participate due to an injury.

Saitov: "When athletes from different disciplines meet on the territory of one of them, it always fascinates both the athletes themselves and the fans. Alina is a very versatile person. It's great that her passion for boxing will bring us together on the sports ground, and the audience will be able to see it."

- about the master class programme:
“This is not a match with Alina, but a master class. I was offered, and I gladly agreed to conduct a master class with our beautiful figure skater, whom I watch, and I am subscribed to her on the social media.
I am very pleased that Alina started boxing! Boxing is an interesting sport at any age. To feel coordination, the ability to defend yourself, to strike, you need to learn how to do it at any age, it's just a thrill."

- about the risk of injury:
"No way! Don’t worry, everything will be at the top level here, Alina will be satisfied.”
