Alina Zagitova

Zagitova was born on 18 May 2002 in Izhevsk, Udmurtia. She is the daughter of Leysan and Ilnaz Zagitov (ru), both Volga Tatars.{{cite web |title=Как выглядят родители Алины Загитовой: Ильназ — хоккеист и тренер, Лейсан — бизнесвумен |trans-title=What Alina Zagitova's parents look like: Ilnaz is a hockey player and coach, Leysan is a businesswoman |url=https://sport24.ru/news/figureskating/2020-07-31-roditeli-aliny-zagitovoy-kak-vyglyadyat-chem-zanimayutsya-foto |website=Sport24 |access-date=18 May 2025 |language=ru |date=30 July 2020}} Ilnaz Zagitov is an ice hockey coach from Tatarstan. Zagitova understands the Tatar language but does not speak it. She has a younger sister, Sabina, who was also a figure skater. She was nameless for a year until her parents decided to name her "Alina" after watching Russian rhythmic gymnast (and fellow Tatar) Alina Kabaeva.

When Zagitova was born, her father was playing hockey for the club Neftyanik Leninogorsk and taught her how to skate. The family moved to Almetyevsk when her father signed to play for Neftyanik Almetyevsk. Alina began skating at age four in Almetyevsk and was coached by Damira Pichugina.{{cite web |title=Россия может побеждать и без Медведевой, когда есть татарская красавица Загитова |trans-title=Russia can win even without Medvedeva, when there is Tatar beauty Zagitova |url=https://sport.business-gazeta.ru/article/206708 |website=Business Online Sport |access-date=6 December 2024 |language=ru |date=10 December 2017 |archive-date=7 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241207081449/https://sport.business-gazeta.ru/article/206708 |url-status=live }}{{cite web|title=Альметьевский старт Алины Загитовой |trans-title=Almetyevsk was the start of Alina Zagitova |url=https://zen.yandex.ru/media/id/595ba98e57906af2f24e286b/almetevskii-start-aliny-zagitovoi-5a785617a867311bced427ab|website=Almetevsk Life|access-date=24 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919025011/https://zen.yandex.ru/media/id/595ba98e57906af2f24e286b/almetevskii-start-aliny-zagitovoi-5a785617a867311bced427ab|archive-date=19 September 2018|url-status=dead}} After the family moved back to Izhevsk, she started training with coach Natalia Antipina.{{cite web |last1=Adamov |first1=Alexey |title="Сердце сжималось".

Zagitova entered the 2018–19 season with two new programs: a short program to music from The Phantom of the Opera and a free skate to music from Carmen Suite.{{cite web |title=Алина Загитова: "Я выросла до «Кармен" |trans-title=Alina Zagitova: "I Grew Up Before "Carmen" |url=https://olympic.ru/news/teamrussia/alina-zagitova-ya-dorosla-do-karmen/ |website=Russian Olympic Committee |access-date=16 December 2024 |language=ru |date=23 September 2018 |archive-date=19 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241219233723/https://olympic.ru/news/teamrussia/alina-zagitova-ya-dorosla-do-karmen/ |url-status=live }} She was scheduled to begin the season at the 2018 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy in Slovakia, but she could not travel to the event due to issues with her travel documents.{{cite web |title=Alina Zagitova arrives in Germany ahead of belated season debut |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/alina-zagitova-lands-ahead-of-season-debut-in-germany |website=International Olympic Committee |access-date=16 December 2024 |date=26 September 2018 |archive-date=26 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241226094208/https://olympics.com/en/news/alina-zagitova-lands-ahead-of-season-debut-in-germany |url-status=live }} One week later, she began the season at the 2018 Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany.

Despite missing the triple loop in her planned triple Lutz-triple loop combination, she finished first in the short program.{{cite web |title=Alina Zagitova (RUS) captures Ladies Short Program |date=2 November 2018 |url=https://isu.org/isu-news/news/125-grand-prix-news/12224-alina-zagitova-rus-captures-ladies-short-program?highlight=WyJ6YWdpdG92YSIsInphZ2l0b3ZhJ3MiXQ==&templateParam=15 |website=International Skating Union |access-date=16 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921195452/https://isu.org/isu-news/news/125-grand-prix-news/12224-alina-zagitova-rus-captures-ladies-short-program?highlight=WyJ6YWdpdG92YSIsInphZ2l0b3ZhJ3MiXQ==&templateParam=15 |archive-date=21 September 2020 |url-status=dead}} Her only mistake in the free skate was underrotating her triple Lutz-triple loop combination, and she won the gold medal.{{cite web |title=Alina Zagitova (RUS) secures gold in Helsinki |url=https://isu.org/isu-news/news/125-grand-prix-news/12229-alina-zagitova-rus-secures-gold-in-helsinki?highlight=WyJ6YWdpdG92YSIsInphZ2l0b3ZhJ3MiXQ==&templateParam=15 |website=International Skating Union |access-date=16 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921200012/https://isu.org/isu-news/news/125-grand-prix-news/12229-alina-zagitova-rus-secures-gold-in-helsinki?highlight=WyJ6YWdpdG92YSIsInphZ2l0b3ZhJ3MiXQ==&templateParam=15 |archive-date=21 September 2020 |date=3 November 2018}} Later that month, she competed at her second Grand Prix event of the season, the 2018 Rostelecom Cup. She broke her own world record in the short program with a score of 80.78 and had a 13-point lead heading into the free skate.{{cite web |title=Zagitova reigns on home ice as Gold struggles on return |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/zagitova-reigns-home-gold-struggles |website=International Olympic Committee |access-date=16 December 2024 |date=16 November 2018 |archive-date=26 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241226093229/https://olympics.com/en/news/zagitova-reigns-home-gold-struggles |url-status=live }} She also won the free skate and the gold medal overall.{{cite web |title=Zagitova pockets another gold at Rostelecom Cup |url=https://www.goldenskate.com/zagitova-pockets-another-gold-at-rostelecom-cup/ |website=Golden Skate |access-date=16 December 2024 |date=17 November 2018 |last1=Slater |first1=Paula |archive-date=19 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241219140516/https://www.goldenskate.com/zagitova-pockets-another-gold-at-rostelecom-cup/ |url-status=live }} With two gold medals, she qualified for the 2018–19 Grand Prix Final, which was expected to be a tight competition between Zagitova and Rika Kihira. At the Grand Prix Final, Zagitova won the silver medal behind Kihira after she "popped" an attempted triple toe loop in the opening combination of her free skate.

At the 2019 Russian Championships, Zagitova comfortably placed first in the short program. However, he did not have a successful free skate, falling twice and struggling during her choreographic sequence. She placed twelfth in the free skate, and fifth overall. She was still granted an automatic place on the Russian team for the European Championships because the top three skaters were junior competitors and were thus ineligible for the team. At the 2019 European Championships, she placed first in the short program despite an under-rotation on her triple loop. She fared poorly in the free skate, falling once and under-rotating or downgrading the majority of her jumping passes, which led to her placing fourth in the free skate, and second overall, behind teammate Sofia Samodurova.{{cite web |last1=Tulloch |first1=Ashlee |title=Sofia Samodurova stuns Alina Zagitova to win European Championships |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/sofia-samodurova-european-championships-alina-zagitova |website=International Olympic Committee |access-date=16 December 2024 |date=25 January 2019 |archive-date=11 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241211194918/https://olympics.com/en/news/sofia-samodurova-european-championships-alina-zagitova |url-status=live }}

Following the European Championships, Zagitova was chosen to represent Russia at the 2019 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, alongside Samodurova and Evgenia Medvedeva.

At the NHK Trophy, she placed fourth in the short program after popping the loop jump in her combination jump with a triple flip. In the free skate, she skated much better for a third-place finish overall, behind Kostornaia and Rika Kihira and qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. There, Zagitova skated cleanly and placed second in the short program, behind only Kostornaia.
