Figure skater Alina Zagitova successfully held her debut season in adult sports, winning the gold award at the Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Fans hoped to continue the triumph, but at the World Championships in Milan, she took only the 5th place, falling during the performance. Her head coach Eteri Tutberidze said that Alina reached the peak of her form at the Games in South Korea, so it is impossible to maintain her in this state, the athlete can break physically and psychologically. "After the Olympics Alina fell ill, and the form went down - it was impossible to hold it for such a long period. Therefore, in Milan we came as if "smeared". Against this background, Alina simply did not have enough experience to control herself, "- quotes the mentor of RIA Novosti. Tutberidze is confident that the motivation for the next season for the figure skater will be prohibitive, since she "had anger". The head of the Federation of figure skating in Russia (FFKKR) Alexander Gorshkov believes that there is no tragedy in the defeat of Zagitova in Milan. Blame for all the banal fatigue. "There is no tragedy in this. Any experience is positive or negative, anyway experience. And sometimes negative experience is even more beneficial, "he added.. The athlete admitted that she was very upset because of the fall and failure in the tournament. According to her, she hardly slept at night after the performance, and in the morning she burst into tears. "In the morning I got up, cried again, then I began to analyze that I can not help crying. I began to think that it did not work and why, "she said.. Now the Olympic champion Alina Zagitova is planning to take a break from training and return to the studies she missed because of the competitions.
