Meet Alina Zagitova, the stunning Russian ‘world’s sexiest ice skater’ and model who loves gardening
RUSSIAN ice skater Alina Zagitova has been melting hearts with her latest social media snaps.
The 21-year-old burst onto the scene in 2018 after winning gold at the Winter Olympics.
Zagitova became world champion just a year later and is renowned for her devilishly difficult routines.
She has pioneered a number of signature moves on the ice but has stepped away from the sport in recent years.
Born in Izhevsk, Russia, in 2002, Zagitova’s father was an ice-hockey coach who introduced her to skating at the age of just four.
By 13, she had moved to Moscow with her grandmother to be coached by renowned tutors Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov.
Zagitova would blitz a trail thru junior skating, winning gold at the 2017 World Junior Championships.
She went on to set four world record scores over the next three years, paving the way to Olympic glory.
After taking an extended break from competition since 2020, Alina is reportedly studying for a degree in journalism, per World Today News.
Zagitova boasts a huge social media following, with over 1.1million fans on Instagram.
She has been dubbed the world’s sexiest ice skater and recently revealed herself to be a lover of gardening to her devoted fanbase.
The Russian has penned a lucrative sponsorship deal with Puma and has a net worth of $5million, per AllFamousBirthday.
She has also modeled on the cover of Cosmopolitan Russia, and earlier this year, joined up with Russian oil company Tatneft to become a sports ambassador.
Alina regularly updates her fans with vacation snaps from her travels across the world.
Zagitova recently posted a flashback to a trip to Dubai, where she stunned in a fitted black bikini on a huge yacht.
She wrote: “Maybe physically I’m already in Moscow, but mentally I’m still in sunny Dubai.”
One fan gasped in reply: “A perfect 10.”
Another said: “Breathtaking beauty.”
While a third exclaimed: “Alina, you are so gorgeous!”
