Yup, there is video from cafe today, 5 hours ago, she fine on video
Maybe physically, but i don't think an elite level athlete can go missing to the extent the police get involved and everything is "fine".

Good news! I hope she makes it back home safe and well, and that her needs are seen to. I hope the adults in her life make her understand she has nothing to fear from any of them, if that was the case. Who cares about skating, it's the well-being of a person, let alone a minor, that's paramount.UPDATE FROM TEAMTUBERITZEE ON TELEGRAM ABOUT ALINA:
"The missing figure skater Alina Gorbacheva was caught on several cameras today during the day. Around 1 pm she sits in a cafe, alive and unharmed. Previously, Alina knows that they are looking for her, and she is afraid to return home. The police and volunteers of the national children's center are connected to her search."

Пропавшая фигуристка Алина Горбачёва попала на несколько камер сегодня в течение дня. Около 13 часов дня она сидит в кафе, живая и невредимая. Предварительно, Алина знает, что её ищут, и опасается возвращаться домой. К её поискам подключены полиция и волонтёры национального центра помощи детям.t.me
We can't know what happened, perhaps the cause is the teenager's personal age crisis. But what's certain is that all the adults around her are about to be punished.
I have experience of working in pre-school organizations, I have had to deal with different situations involving children. I know for a fact that in Russia, each child is the responsibility of a big structure of adults who ensure that his or her rights are respected. Let's say you beat your wife, then make up with her, and she withdraws her statement from the court. But if you beat your child, no one even has to file a police report, the police will come to you and there is no way to drop the charges because of the reconciliation.I wouldn't jump automatically to 'punished' but hopefully there's a child advocate (is there a government agency or nonprofit organization?) unaffiliated to her coach and her parents that can talk to her and get an understanding of her situation and make sure she's okay and safe.

My friend had a case when her 17-year-old daughter stayed longer than usual at a friend's house. She got scared and called the police. The daughter returned a few hours later, the statement was withdrawn, but still mother and daughter were invited to the police for an interview. In this case, however, I don't even doubt that all the adults will be in trouble, starting with a detailed interview with a juvenile officer at the police station. Especially since there is already a criminal case, it can't be completed without reason.
That's a lot of rubles. A young girl walking alone late in the day is a target for a lot.Also, I’ve read from other sources that Alina may have been carrying around $200 USD on her at the time, which as said sources have pointed out, is more than most people typically keep in their wallet on a daily basis.
Should the title of the thread be updated now because of it?
Alina is found, official information
I think so! "Russian Junior National Champion Alina Gorbacheva found after going missing", perhaps?Should the title of the thread be updated now because of it?
