Athletistic/ Figure skating. Honored Russian figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze said that his student Alina Zagitova had bleeding in her legs during preparation for the 2018 Olympics. At the Games in Pyeongchang (South Korea), Alina won a medal of gold in singles as well as a silver medal in the team figure skating championship.

“During the Olympic season, Alina’s feet bled so much that I felt nauseous when she took them out of her shoes. But I didn’t tell her about it. If you make a student understand that it’s bad, then he can I don’t find it in himself, I sincerely don’t understand the strength to continue to endure all this. How she endured it, I sincerely don’t understand, “Tutberidze said in an interview with Leonid Slutsky for his YouTube project “Comment.Trainer.”

In the summer of 2019, Alina Zagitova announced the suspension of her figure skating career. She is the 2018 Olympic individual skating champion, silver medalist of these Games in the team competition, world champion (2019) and winner of the Grand Prix final (2017).
