Alina Zagitova's costume for the figure skating gala was...interesting.
The 15-year-old Olympic Athlete from Russia and gold medal winner from the ladies' competition performed in the exhibition gala on Saturday. While she was fantastic, her costume left many speechless.

She wore a jumpsuit with a tiger print on it. It was open on the back, and there was a flesh-colored line that went around her body and down around her lower back.

Some people thought it was great. The costume matched the mysterious, animalistic style of the performance.
Yet, her age threw people off. They thought it was too much for her age.
why does Alina Zagitova, 15 year old reigning Junior World champion, have her whole buttcheek out on the Olympic ice

Is Alina Zagitova really 15? Do we have another fraudulent age scandal on our hands? I just can't believe how strong and polished she is, not to mention spicy in this cutout tiger catsuit.

Very not comfortable with Alina Zagitova's costume for the gala. She's 15, people. Let her be 15.

Still trying to figure out how much of 15-year-old #Zagitova skating in a skin tight tiger suit is her own agency versus being entrenched in a patriarchal culture that sexualizes girls way before they are physically/emotionally mature enough to handle it.
