Alina Zagitova

The biography of Alina Zagitova is an example of how talent, hard work and the ability to gather will into a fist lead to the heights of professional recognition. By her age, the skater has compiled an enviable list of achievements, including victories at the Olympic Games, World Championships, Europe and Russia. Alina Zagitova is the first among Russians and the second in the world after Yeon Ah Kim to have collected a “grand helmet”, having won all possible titles in figure skating.

Alina Zagitova was born on May 18, 2002 in the capital of Udmurtia - Izhevsk. Tatar by nationality. The skater is not the only child in the family, her younger sister Sabina is also engaged in figure skating.

Alina owes her sports career to her parents. Ilnaz's father is a professional hockey player and subsequently a coach. Alina's mother Leysan is not associated with sports, but all her life she dreamed of doing figure skating.

As a child, Alina trained at the Izhevsk Children and Youth Sports School under the coach Natalia Alekseevna Antipina. In early 2015, the girl got to the most productive coach of women's figure skating, Eteri Tutberidze, to work with whom Zagitova had to move to Moscow.

Since the relationship between the coach and the ward was not easy at first, Alina studied with Anna Tsareva for several months. Later, a period of trauma followed: first, the girl broke her arm, and then her foot. A long period of recovery ended with the return of the athlete under the wing of Tutberidze.

After the move, the athlete and her grandmother settled in Moscow near the Khrustalny skating rink. Now the family lives in several cities: my father works in Kazan as the head coach of the Irbis team, and my mother often visits her native Izhevsk, where she has her own business, and comes to visit her daughter in the capital.

Zagitova tells little about her personal life. According to her, now she is building a career and does not plan to start a serious relationship, although she has already thought about love, like all her peers. Journalists attributed to Alina an affair with CSKA hockey player Kirill Kaprizov, but the young people responded by saying that they had nothing more than a friendly relationship.

The champion is open to communication and shares her photos with fans on Instagram and on her page on VKontakte. She is respectful of her fans and appreciates their support. “For me, your love is more precious than gold,” Alina admits to subscribers in social networks.

However, relations with fans are not complete without conflicts: in 2019, a shooting from Zagitova's autograph session got on the Web, in which she pushed a fan who tried to hug her. Accusations of rudeness rained down, but many commentators stood up for Alina, pointing out that she was probably very tired, and in general this is a normal human reaction to too intrusive displays of attention.

The 2015/2016 season turned out to be difficult. At the 2016 Russian Championship, the skater took 9th place and finished the season ahead of schedule. Despite this, the coaches delivered the most technically difficult Don Quixote program in the world.

In the 2016/2017 season, Zagitova made her international debut, having brilliantly won the Grand Prix stage in the French city of Saint-Gervais and bronze at the Grand Prix stage in Slovenia. In Marseille, the Russian woman won the junior Grand Prix final, winning both the short and free program.

Participation in the Russian Championship in December 2016, held in Chelyabinsk, brought the figure skater a silver medal. She bypassed all the competitors with an assessment for the technique, but lost gold to the more titled, but technically weak Evgenia Medvedeva, who was given high points for the presentation.

In the spring of 2017, Alina won the World Junior Championships in Taipei, collecting all possible titles in her junior career. The coaches decided that the girl will compete in adult competitions.

The first adult Olympic season 2017/2018 brought victories in all starts, where Alina took part: Lombardy Trophy, Grand Prix stages in China and France, Grand Prix final, Russian championship. At the 2018 European Championships in Moscow, the athlete made a splash. Leading after the short program, Alina bypassed Medvedeva in the free program, becoming the European champion.

At the 2018 Olympics in Korea, Russian figure skaters won silver in the team competition. Alina Zagitova skated the free program best of all with a margin of 20 points from her rivals, which strengthened the team's chances for a medal.

On February 21, 2018, the entire Olympic Pyeongchang froze - the competition for single figure skaters in individual championships began. After the rental of the short program, Evgenia Medvedeva broke her world record, gaining 81.61 points. Following Alina Zagitova in the form of a black swan, thanks to her technical superiority and impeccable performance of elements, she broke Medvedeva's record, gaining 82.92 points. Fragile and short (the athlete's height at that time was 156 cm, and her weight was 43 kg), Alina impressed everyone with her endurance and complex performance technique.

On February 23, 2018, the free program competitions took place. Alina flawlessly performed all the jumping elements in the second part of the program, including the world's most difficult Lutz cascade - the rittberger, which none of the other competitors dared to insert into their programs. “Don Quixote” directed by Daniel Gleichengauz made Alina an Olympic champion at the age of 15.

Gleichengauz has directed other well-known programs of the young athlete, including Carmen, Afro Blue, and Survivor, which uses a composition from the movie Tomb Raider: Lara Croft.

The athlete opened the 2018/2019 season with victories in the Nebelhorn Trophy and Japan Open tournaments and the Grand Prix stages in Helsinki and Moscow. Then there was a slight decline caused by a leg injury. Alina took 2nd place in the Grand Prix finals, 5th place in the Russian Championship and 2nd place in the European Championship.

The next 2 months were spent in preparation for the World Championship, which took place in March 2019 in Saitama. Alina skated the short and free programs without a single mistake and became the world champion with a margin of 13 points. She admitted that her coach Eteri Georgievna helped her tune in to such a rental.

After winning the 2019 World Championship, Zagitova traveled to Japan and performed at the ice show The Ice alongside local figure skating star Nathan Chen. The Japanese public loves the athlete, during her visits they constantly give gifts and invite to television.

In May 2019, Alina managed to get some rest by going to the sea. The sportswoman delighted the Instagram subscribers with sunny photos in a swimsuit. Returning from the coast, Zagitova began preparations for the new 2019/2020 season. Daniil Gleichengauz staged new programs, choosing the images of a passionate Spanish woman for the song Me Voy for the short and Cleopatra for the free.

In the fall of 2019, Alina began her last academic year at school. In an interview, she admitted that she would like to become a coach in the future. In early October, the athlete again went to Japan for the Japan Open tournament, and in November she performed at the Grand Prix stages in France and Japan.

At the end of 2019, Alina took part in Tatyana Navka's ice show "Sleeping Beauty". For the first time in her life, the figure skater had to demonstrate the elements of pair skating on ice. According to Zagitova, supports were given to her harder than jumping, and the premiere was marked by annoying mistakes, including a fall. According to fans, Alina, despite her artistry, turned out to be too technical to participate in the performance: she skated so fast that the spotlight could not keep up with her.

Before the New Year 2020, the athlete announced her intention to suspend her competitive career, specifying that she does not leave the sport, but only refuses to participate in the upcoming Russian championship and some other championships in order to gain strength and learn new elements.

Some colleagues were skeptical that Alina is suspending participation in the competition. Natalya Bestemyanova said that the missed season is a lot, and it will no longer make sense for Zagitova to return, since she will lag far behind her rivals. Nevertheless, Alina is determined to “catch up and overtake”. The latest news from the life of the skater includes the resumption of intensive training from January 2020, as well as the announcement of her participation in the demonstration performances of the Russian national team.
