Alina Ilnazovna Zagitova (Russian: Алина Ильназовна Загитова; born 18 May 2002) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2017 World Junior champion, 2016–17 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, 2017 Russian national senior silver medalist and 2017 national junior champion.
Zagitova is the first junior lady skater to break the total score above the 200 mark, scoring a total of 207.43 points at the 2016-17 JGP Final.
Zagitova was born on 18 May 2002 in Izhevsk. Her father, Ilnaz Zagitov, is an ice hockey coach of Tatar origin. She has a younger sister, Sabina. She was nameless for a year until her parents decided to name her "Alina" after watching Russian rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva.
Zagitova began learning to skate in 2007. She trained in Izhevsk under Natalia Antipina until 2015. She is now coached by Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov in Moscow.
Zagitova finished 9th at the 2016 Russian Junior Championships after placing 12th in the short program and 8th in the free skate.
Zagitova's international debut came in late August 2016 at a 2016–17 ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) competition in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France; ranked first in both segments, she won the gold medal ahead of Kaori Sakamoto. Her total score at the event, 194.37 points, is the second highest ever achieved by a ladies' single skater on the junior level, behind only Polina Tsurskaya. Zagitova took the bronze medal at her JGP event in Slovenia, behind Japanese skaters Rika Kihira and Marin Honda. The results qualified her to the 2016–17 JGP Final, held in December in Marseille.
