ФОТО: Самая красивая спортсменка Олимпиады-2018 — родом из Эстонии

Масс-старт в конькобежном спорте впервые был включен в олимпийскую программу. В финальном забеге 23-летняя Алусалу применила рискованную тактику: в начале гонки убежала от соперниц и выиграла все три промежуточных финиша. В сумме уроженка Йыгева набрала 15 очков и уступила только трем призерам.

В аэропорту Таллина по возращении домой спортсменку встречали близкие, вице-президент Олимпийского комитета Тыну Тынисте и представители Союза конькобежцев Эстонии. А торговая сеть Sportland премировала Алусалу суммой 4000 евро за успешное выступление в Пхенчхане.

В центре внимания фотографов Саския Алусалу часто оказывается не только потому, что она была лидером и знаменосцем команды Эстонии на зимней Олимпиаде, но потому что очень красива. Ниже — подборка фото с личных аккаунтов спортсменки в Instagram.

Close your eyes and take three deep breaths… This is the only moment you need to worry about. No yesterday. No tomorrow. Just right now. You're not late for anything. You aren't going to miss anything. You're exactly where you're supposed to be and you're exactly who you're supposed to be…

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" #lewiscarroll #aliceinwonderland

After some photo shoots you barely recognize yourself😄(especially when I wear sporty clothes most of the time)…My 5 year old niece told me after this shoot: "you look like Monster High". 📷 Anu Hammer #tb #cosmopolitan #photoshoot #monsterhigh
