Alina Zagitova
- Thread starter The Finn
- Start date
Yeah, that would definitely be more sustainable!! I am so anxious about her plans for late spring/summer (whether there are more ice shows or time off to practice).
Road to Pekin, #Tatarka2022
That would be the sweetest (In my dreams, Alina and Kamila will both be representing Russia in the next Olympics :luv17: - Unlikely, I know, but a girl can dream, right?
OK, what kind of people is trying to edit Alina's wiki page with the calimimg she is the "former" russian figure skater and that she "has announced her retirement". Sometimes it is necessary to check some pages (not just the Alina one) and undo such vile attempts.

This shows how much you can trust wiki, if it’s so easy to change the information there. And how mean people can be. I don’t know how to change anything there. Thanks to those who follow the correctness of the page and introduce new information.
It's not so hard, in my previous work we had our intranet based on wiki so everybody could easily put informations for the colleagues there, so I have some knowledge. From time to time I do small edits like adding scores from the recent competitions to some skaters, actualizing PB etc. Unfortunately there are people who put their agenda into wiki.

It's good to see her doing well with Sasha Stepanova :luv17:
I have a burning question regarding this topic. Since I am relatively new to all of this, I don't know what to make of the TSL (TheSkatingLesson) videos on youtube. They had several videos indicating that this is indeed a retirement and not a pause, that Alina is indeed a "former" russian figure skater. As longtime Alina fans, I am asking you: Is this channel trustworthy?
In short: No.
With little more details, they can love you once, condemn the other day with no consistency of the claims or favouritism, they love gossips, they often invite completely biased persons etc. Just for the illustrative purposes, it's not so long ago when they spoke about Alina as "the skater named after Putin's mistress". They are nothing more than figure skating yellow press.

TSL, TAT, Natalia Bestiamanova and a few others do not think Alina is coming back and aren't shy about saying they don't see any reason for her to come back. Whatever. They can think what they want and say what they want. Doesn't make it true.
Especially in a circumstance like this. The ONLY person who knows 100% whether Alina will attempt to comeback is Alina. And like any other teenager on Earth she can change her mind about it 5 times within the same day.
So much depends on whether or not she stays healthy. That was something that derailed Sotnikova's comeback attempts, she kept getting injured.
And then there is finding the motivation to do it. The situation is this - she can work harder than she has ever worked in her life to give herself the possibility of a chance to compete for titles she has already won. Or she can work hard, maintain her present form, keep skating and training, make more money than she will possibly ever see again in the next two seasons as the current reigning OC. (Disclaimer: I said possibly. I actually think her earning potential will continue to increase whether she keeps skating or not. She is just that marketable!)
Oh, and also have something resembling a normal life, without the incredible pressure and stress of competition.
If Alina were any other 18 year old girl, the answer would be obvious. But she isn't any other girl. She is an Olympic Champion and World Champion. Every thing that got her there to begin with is probably exactly what will bring her back to try again.
I've always said I'll support her choice no matter what. I see her attempting a comeback. Maybe she will be 'successful', maybe not. I think it will be a victory for her regardless of the outcome. Not every victory comes with a title and a medal.

"the skater named after Putin's mistress"...WTF...Ok, this answers my question!
That definitely seems to be the smartest approach! (I would love to see her come back though just to see TAT's meltdown

Alina, like Medvyedeva and Tuktamysheva, is also waiting to see what becomes of Tutberidze's Terrific Trio. Will they up their difficulty with more ultra-si, to 260+ heights?
And who will be removed and added to the national selection come June, when the summer training camps leading up to 2020/21 season Open Test skates are announced. When another young skater with ultra-si makes her appearance??
And I've read there appeared to be some scandal created over Alina not appearing at an autograph session after flying in the same morning and doing two performances on the Dobrograd open air ice rink, where it was cold? Come on, give the girl a break !

For some reason anything connected with Alina drives some people completely out of their minds. Our girl had a plane to catch back to Switzerland!

No, just a war against Alina in the Russian media continues, nothing new.
