Trusova not doing the 3A, has she said why?

She's injured.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Only a 2a today but well done!!

 

[elektra blue]

removing the 3A was a good call, the most important clean is being clean here, i actually enjoyed her here

 

[flanker]

Less is more. Congrats Sasha

 

[Vandevska]

That was beautiful. She looks like a fairy. Such a good performance, from the performance aspect. Best SP of hers ever.

 

[Jeanie19]

Trusova. I love her dress and this program is good for her.

 

[EdgeCall]

Clean skate. So far so good. There were some nice choreographic movements in there. Well timed twizzles.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Well done Sasha!!! I hope those are just socks and not two bandaged ankles

 

[LadyB]

Good girl!

 

[Fluture]

Clean!! Good job. The beginning section works so much better when she‘s not stressing about the 3A. Calm and beautiful. The step sequence is still too rushed for me but that was great overall! Probably third place (even though I‘d have her second but that‘s not gonna happen) but she did what she could.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Yes clean Sasha

 

[Ichatdelune]

I thought for a moment she was going to go for the 3A, it's probably better for her to go clean

Felt tech-focused for the most part but good skate nonetheless

Trusova not doing the 3A, has she said why?

She is supposedly injured. She has also only trained 4Lzs so there will probably be no 4Ts.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Trusova played it safe. A smart decision as she can’t afford to be behind by a huge deficit going into the free if she doesn’t hit the 3A.

 

[chasingneverland]

She's improved so much in her interpretation, lines, and spins. This was beautiful.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Goodness, was that Trusova? She has definitely upped her game artistically. Guess we'll see if the artistry remains in the FS once she layers on the big tech armament.

 

[AlimaAsh]

To offer correction: she said “Of course!” first, and then joked it off by saying “the main thing is to believe!”. She continued by saying that they’ll try (to the max) to condition in order to peak and have everything done in the FS.

I rewatched the part with the interview, and I think I translated a bit wonkily. So I apologise. When the interviewer asked if she will have enough energy, she said that “yes of course... well, the most important thing is to have faith”. Something like that

Yes, I apologise for my first translation being a bit inaccurate and worrying anyone too much. I translated it a good 3-4 minutes after watching it and translating Sonya’s first. I responded with another translation after that one though.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Possibly controversial opinion- she should ditch the cantilever, it doesn’t make sense in this program thematically.

 

[EdgeCall]

Someone hack the judges' computers please, and take out the "<"-key.

 

[Jontor]

Go Nugumanova!
