2018 Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova admitted that her work as the host of the Ice Age show on Europe Plus radio helped her become stronger.
“They told me: “Are you going to be a homeowner?” The host of the adult “Ice Age”, where all the stars of show business, all the idols in figure skating are present. Interviewing them was very stressful for me. Apparently I’m very brave. Besides, only a few people will be able to withstand such great hatred; it really made them stronger in life,” Zagitova said.
In addition to the gold medal at the Games, Zagitova won gold at the 2019 World Championships and gold and silver medals at the 2018 and 2019 European Championships. Zagitova is the second figure skater in world history after Kim Young Ah, who managed to win all championships in Russian singles and world figure skating.
Zagitova missed the 2020 and 2021 competitions but has not announced the completion of her professional career since then. In February 2022, Zagitova took part as captain in the Channel One Cup team tournament, which the “Red Machine” team won. Zagitova hosted the show “Ice Age” together with Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin.
In August, the figure skater was involved in a series of scandals. He initially made a slip of the tongue during an interview about hockey, which caused widespread public controversy. Later, Zagitova posted a video of herself crossing a crosswalk at green traffic lights for pedestrians while driving.
