I think we have witnessed the difference between teenagers at the first senior season with all their energy, hungry for victories, enjoying every moment of that new experience against the burden to be yet Olympic, euro, world champion with everything to lose and with a woman body that not let you to be explosive as in the past.
I think Alina managing quite well that...she fought until the last jump, spin, steps. For a while I was worried ghosts of Milan could come to her head but she finished the program with all she had.
Very proud of this young woman, she’s an example.
I was thinking the same, Milan is not her cup of tea. She popped her free at worlds and now for the GPF after her second place in the short in both events.
Now, Alina maybe should drop some commercials or shows only to focus on her training if she wants to stay competitive.
I hope she will skate two clean programs for the nationals to stay on the national team.
