Obviously none of this is Alina's responsibility. She trained hard, she became very strong, she worked her butt off and she did her job. What people around her did isn't her responsibility in any way. She won, and if there was any unfairness there, it didn't come from her. She should be very, very proud because she did everything that could have been expected of her.

I thought it was the best interpreted program of hers this season. Performance worthy of an Olympic winner. If only.

i agree, it was the only time i really enjoyed her skate in terms of the performance since worlds 2016 tbh

Congratulations for Alina!

Poor Zhenya 

I have suggestion for the gala: they can organize it for Alina like it was done for Nathan in CoR. 

You mean with Yuzu stealing the whole show?

I'm just happy this didn't happen with the men. And it very easily could have.

Our Yuzu is so strong! That’s why he could win against all the odds...that’s why he is goat

Somebody remind me what was organized for Nathan? I think I only watched Yuzu's performancd afterwards.

Right after Med ended the program i was like "game over". It was clear that she can't win with "clean" skates anymore. But Zagitova won't escape the "olympic champion curse" and is probably going to disappear after olys. I don't like both of them, so i don't care. Too bad for Satoko, no medal, but it was expected

Harsh lol

Congratulations to Alina because she did a great job, she's got nerves of steel that's for sure. I was kind of expecting this result, especially after the Europeans I knew that a perfect Alina won't be beaten....

I feel very sad for Zhenya though. She would have deserved the gold because I think overall (even with her regressing jumps) she skated better at the Olympics.

 

Zhenya's silver medal reminds me a bit of Yana Kudryavtseva...she won everything and was unbeatable for years but then at the Olympics she lost in the All-round event by to her compatriot...

He jumped solo in the middle. Like, 2.5 sec of exposure. 😂

at the end of the day Alina is so talented and has so much potential tho. i was really impressed with how she kept it together, being 15, the leader after the short, and having to do that technical content. honestly, i think backloading is more taxing mentally and physically than the 3-4(?) point advantage it gives, although clearly every point was necessary here.

she made do with the shitty choreography she had i guess, that she was always struggling to catch up with bc it was just SO. DAMN. PACKED. i guess we'll never know if she can ever become a more musical or entertaining skater, but i think she has a lot to be proud of. she got the job done.

 

so did zhenya. she was saying after her score that she did everything she could. she did. she should be proud.

My heart broke for her with that reaction to winning tbh; It shouldn't be anyone's reaction to winning goddamn OGM; the poor girls only 15! I hope people are kind to her

She was crying with happiness. Satoko and Katelyn was still there too.

I'm not remotely sad for Alina. She just won a gold medal at the age of 15 and I'm pretty sure she's extremely proud of it. She'll be fine.

 

You want to be sad for someone? Be sad for Gabby Daleman. What a disaster.
