Alexandra Trusova

Well done, Sasha, for skating clean! I had one moment where I held my breath in her combo, but she got through it just fine. She is so determined.

When she slipped at the start, and then got up laughing, I had to join in, especially when she was still trying to compose herself and not break out in laughter again just before her music started. Her attitude is wonderful, the way she takes it all in good humour.

Me too. For a moment I thought she was not going to get it (compose herself ).

That is a Champion attitude. I remember her last Junior season she made one mistake in her SP at JGPF and at JWC too. When she finished her performance looked at her coaches and started to laugh.
 
If she delivers a clean quad quads free program tomorrow, she is a true heroine. She has to knock that 5th wicket down and claim her own golden entry into the Grand Prix Final.

If she skates tomorrow she will be a heroine. If she lands 3 or 4 quads she will prove she is an alien.
I hope her health is better tomorrow.

Aleksandra just finished her FP training session. Still, she looked slightly under the weather to me and lacked her usual 'attack' to the jumps.
 
Her 4S is a real beauty. I think the 4T is her most comfortable quad though, and it amazes me every time. Ah, what an athlete she is!
 
Sasha rarely has clean runthru before competition. The more she is fierce in the competition itself.

Perhaps she wanted it too much and over concentrated herself, perhaps she had a temperature ...

It's all in the range of natural variation of any athlete's performance. She herself will be disappointed and face a debriefing, but she will take the critique to heart and improve from it.
 
As american football game fans say: A win is a Win. Not in her best condition but she did it with determination. She seemed worried when she step into the rink. Needs work more in 4S or change it.
Dracarys!!

I think that 99.9 % of ladies would sacrifice their soul to the devil for such "not the best condition" :biggrin:
 
Aww, that 4S is still a trouble. Fingers crossed she gets well fast and shines in Torino. So happy for her!
 
Guys, support Sasha‘s isu fs Video with upvotes and nice comments!
She’s getting downvoted and some of the comments, as expected, are nasty.

Let's support Sasha!

This is the clearest example of how the "toxic" fans react of whom we already know simply because Trusova demonstrated the difference between them ... it is not Sasha's fault that she does not qualify for the GPF.

Trusova was not well today, and apparently it is health; when she doesn't like something she looks upset, today she looked worried. In the end she failed in the obvious, lack of rotation in 4S and 3Lz3Lo, typical errors when strength is lacking, and she can only lack strength because she is sick or injured.

The only positive thing about these 2 falls is that she showed that she has no rivals outside of the 4A, if she skates clean will exceed 175 points in the FS without disheveled, with a fall it is still superior to anyone inside and outside Russia, and when she adds the 3A will be ready to compete with Chen and Hanyu
