Alina Zagitova: “I would never reach this level of success if not for my family”
https://sport.business-gazeta.ru/news/238149
Z: I won the Gold medal at the Olympics, and received a lot of attention, but my life has not changed. I am the same now as I was before the Olympics. Although, during the time period between Olympics to this year’s World Championship, I gained a lot of experience. It was hard, but now I see it was just what I needed to go through to win at the Worlds this year.
I liked standing on a podium and to receive medals ever since I was a kid. For that reason I can endure hard days of training, and when stand up on a podium with good results, it gives me a feeling that I can get even better results. It is a big motivation for me. There are many situations in which you can not solve a problem easily, or when you can not solve it well, even if you know the right path.
From early childhood my parents always taught me “you can’t catch a fish without making an effort” (no pain, no gain?). I always held that in mind. Of course I would not be where I am if not for my family. If you want to accomplish something, start believing in yourself, and then your dreams will happen.
(in my free time) I paint artwork, manage social media and play with my very loved dog Masaru. But right now I do not have a full vacation. I can’t even imagine my life without figure skating. I am living my life full of figure skating. It is important to progress and I want to show that I can skate my programmes flawlessly like in 2017/2018, to skate really well, and to make audience happy.
