Her basics in terms of actual skating are also quite poor.
I thought her basics looked a little improved here, but it’s always so difficult to tell on video, especially with the lighting.

I was unpleasantly surprised with her basics back at Nationals, even in comparison with other Russian girls.I thought her basics looked a little improved here, but it’s always so difficult to tell on video, especially with the lighting.
It needs polishing, but i like it! the odd music cuts are interesting and the choreo draws me in. many nice moments.Alina Zagitova, new SP (Phantom of the Opera) from The Ice

Quelle surprise. Alina has developed into a stunning young woman (as if no one saw that coming). I like this program, not in love, but she looks happy (and fed, in all the best ways). I was so happy for her OGM. She achieved her dream. Now her skating is for her. Do I think she will be competitive when all the juniors come up? Probably not. But I will enjoy her skating.

Looking at the skating video, I wouldn’t have said so. I was about to comment that she’s definitely curvier than just 6 months ago. She really does have bad posture and skating skills though. Interesting that to me anyway it’s much more noticeable out of the tutus.She doesn't look fed enough in this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5428YjMyCs Thinner than last season...
I don't understand why the weight discussion starts as soon as there's a new pic or youtube clip up. Zagitova is not underweight for her age. She looks perfectly normal and if she were malnourished she would not have accomplished what she has.
it is only a post Olympics Canadian "Zag and Med Derangement Syndrome".. Some say Zag is getting too thin...I don't understand why the weight discussion starts as soon as there's a new pic or youtube clip up. Zagitova is not underweight for her age.

Two ex-Tutberidze’s skaters, that’s good. At least Shelepen would understand what Panenkova went through as she experienced it herself.Daria Panenkova is "unofficially" in Tzareva's group, working with Shelepen. Not an official announcement yet, but posting fotos: http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2018/08/05/559dccf38199fb97c665a3ecea7fb683.jpg
Shelepen returned to the rink this spring (with flowers...), hugged with Tutberidze, and said she made lots of mistakes which she only realized years later... And then gave few interviews about it and posted some comments in her IG... here is a short version of one that was easy to find.Two ex-Tutberidze’s skaters, that’s good.

Все мы делаем ошибки, все мы люди. Но нужно уметь их признавать и желательно в моем случае не затягивать с этим. We all make mistakes. But it is important to admit them and in my case, the sooner the better.
Well, and what do you expect she should have done? She needed a job. From some reason she got the job at the rink when she used to skate. So of course she would try hard to build the bridges. She couldn’t come there and start causing any bad atmosphere through a bad relationship with her ex coach, otherwise they would get rid of her pretty soon. So the best thing to do was to smooth the relationship, no matter what she really thing about Tutberidze privately. Also, it is six years since she left Tutberidze. Six years is too long to hold the grudges.Shelepen returned to the rink this spring (with flowers...), hugged with Tutberidze, and said she made lots of mistakes which she only realized years later...

.... well, and then this "Happy Birthday, former coach and a wonderful person Eteri" in Feb......

Tutberidze does not decide who works at the Sambo-70 Club, which has more than one rink..... ..... Shelepen only needed management's approval and Tzareva's ok.... because she wanted to work with Tzareva and Pogo, they are friends ... that's all..... https://vk.com/polina_shelepen1995?z=photo372019136_456239335/wall-105395312_1613 ... you see, for practically EVERY stupid story and a fake twist about Tutberidze.... there is a real story.Well, and what do you expect she should have done?

Edited the post, as I pressed the ‘post’ buttom too earlyNo Gubanova even though she's on the entry list for Austria? Maybe they've decided to switch her to seniors and give her the CoR host spot?

She has already been listed in the JGP entires, so she can’t get that CoR host pick
