I don't understand why she got so much hate for winning the gold medal, especially from evgenia Medvedeva fans, Alina clearly deserved her gold medal as this is incredible especially for a 15 year old

If you have ever seen the actual Ballet Don Quixote, you would understand, why all the jumps are at the end. That is how the actual ballet choreography goes. The many jumps at the end are the culmination of that scene. And that is how the beautiful Red Ballerina Alina danced it for us too.

I've never seen such detailed, complex and demanding program. She is 100% deserving that medal. I love that the focus of the performance was not on jumps, rather on every ballet step, every figure, every spin. I was holding my breath throughout the entire performance. She hit every step perfectly, and she had almost no margin for mistakes. Beautifully done!

Imagine hating on such a young athlete for wining the gold medal when you should have questioned your existence because you're a couch potato and she is a 15 year old gold medallist

She looks like a feather on ice. So elegant, so graceful, effortlessly beautiful

[itsm_ee]

she is a true Olympic champion with a flexible, graceful body. and her program is the strongest and most technical at that Olympiad

[i_know_it_all]

This is possibly the best performance I have ever seen. The skill and the strength she has to make all of the jumping passes in the second half of the routine is a testament to her talent and to add the jump she missed speaks to the presence of her mind while skating, knowing she add to add the jump is indicative of her skills.

Don't ask me why but everytime I watch this girl doing things like this I feel like a proud mom. She's soo cute, mature, sensitive, hard-worker...

[shenzhao]

She deserved every single point both technical and artistic. She was the queen of this season whatever everybody said

[gingerbread_exo]

These Russian skaters are incredible, brilliant, I cant help but tear up sometimes watching them, they're the best, and this girl Alina deserves her gold medal 100%

[bindi]

Alina is so pretty, she looks like she should be a ballerina in Swan Lake.

Here is a Russian figure skater who clearly deserves her gold medal.

[tatiana]

She is absolutely gorgeous! Alina is the Queen of ice skating! Her performance was magical! Well deserved! With love after 4.5 years. Can't stop watching her amazing program! I'm proud of her.

[hanyuisthegoat]

This should be a world record. Every transitions, air positions in jump, spins. All of them executed really great

[altesbeno]

She's 15, but it looks like she's been practicing for 20 years.

Одиночное катание для меня не существовало от слова совсем. ОИ, случайно включила телевизор и увидела ЕЁ!!! Челюсть отпала, рот не закрылся от удивления пока каталась девочка в красной пачке. Пятый год слежу за этой залипательной девочкой, она открыла мне мир одиночного катания. Очень благодарна этому случаю. Когда плохое настроение или пасмурно, смотрю как танцует Красная Балерина. Да, есть другие, но только она цепляет и невозможно оторваться от этой красоты и очарования.

Regardless of any politics surrounding this, I come back to watch this performance periodically and am always equally as moved. This is a gold medal skate. Hands down.
