Alexandra Trusova

[Edwin]

This video was made from the official broadcast on Kazakhstan TV. I can’t say anything about how they control their copyright. But in any case, I think that this will serve a good purpose if it introduces Sasha to hundreds of thousands of viewers .

The official ISU channel and other rights holders take preference over some piracy/plagiarism channel like BossT. And unfortunately geo-restrictions come with this business model.

Probably best of all it would be when Sambo-70 and/or Khrustalniy sets up its own official internet presence. They have a semi-official VK group already. And the skaters should register their names and images as trademarks to better protect themselves against commercial plagiarism now they turn into real sports stars and celebrities.

The comment section under her video is amazing! This is what Sasha deserves.

It really is. So heartwarming to read after all the criticism and occasinally nasty comments she faced after her wins.

Apparently, these comments were made by ordinary people who are not fans of the FS. For some reason, it was recommended by YT to random people. Therefore, there is no negative inherent in the long-standing fans of the FS related to personal preferences. It is all the more interesting to see the sincere reaction of random people.

So true! People are writing that Alexandra's performance brought them to tears and now they want to learn Russian because of her :sad4: :sad46:
That's so sweet
After all the comments about how non artistic or non enjoyable Alexandra is, or that she's nothing but jumps, this kind of commentary was what I needed to make sure I'm not going insane, because I happen to think she's actually a good performer or at least has that potential I found people who agree with me

Alexandra currently passed the 100k mark in Instagram followers... beating Eteri: https://www.instagram.com/avtrusova/

Which I find interesting because I remember her being behind Eteri just a few days ago and then I stopped paying attention and stumbled on it today.

I figured out what happened, her oniceperspectives video was reposted to a couple of big instagram accounts. I wish I was paying attention when this happened, but I think she netted at least a thousand followers because of that video.... I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2-3 thousand new followers.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pyytMFgQ2/ <-- watched 123k times.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xOvtwlrAt/ <--- posted on an account with 134k followers a couple hours ago... only 16k views now but will probably get at least 50k.

Here’s another one with almost 0,5 mln views.

Just to add, I mean, I guess quite a few people say Trusova isn’t “enjoyable” to them, but if we’re honest, it seems like there are more people who do really like her.
I personally enjoy her as a performer as much as I adore her as an athlete

Now Trusova is up to 122k folllowers. The instagram video I pointed out with 16k views now has 1.2 million views. The .5 million views video nussnacker pointed out now has 1 million views.

It's quite interesting to compare Trusova's follower count to Medvedeva's: https://socialblade.com/instagram/user/jmedvedevaj/monthly

Medvedeva had less the 21K followers at the same point of her career... which seemed extremely low to me as someone who followed Medvedeva since the time Serafima had more followers on Instagram. But I checked socialblade's figures(at a different time) using the Wayback Machine on http://archive.org/ and they matched each other. The page doesn't actually load but you can see the follower count in the javascript.

Medvedeva had about 122K followers after her 2nd Europeans. That was about the time she got follower boost from Yuri on Ice fans and then later on that year she got another boost with the Sailer Moon exhibition.

Trusova’s interpretation of Daenerys is one of the better artistic reimagining of this year imo. She actually found a character that not only she loves, but that is of the same age as her and whose drive/ambition she very much can portray from the bottom of her heart. It’s an excellent artistic pick.

As it was mentioned by TeamTut they started to develop the program way before the GoT finished. And we know how it was finished, in a total jeopardy.

It’s not about how the show had finished, it’s about the character. For me Trusova strikes closer to Daenerys than the lady who portrays her in the show.

 

[SkateSkates]

Of course she’s been landing it for a while! Remember all those rumors from early August? And most have come true (Sasha 2 quad combos, Sasha quad from steps, Aliona multiple 3As in programs, etc) Sasha and Anna were reported to have 3A but it wasn’t in their programs yet. Team Tutberidze has clearly changed their strategy and only release videos of new elements once competition ready, if they release a video at all. Veronika’s quad video was released about a week before she attempted it in competition. Same with Maya. So I fully expect Sasha to attempt the 3A at GPF.

Sorry if you believe that Sasha just landed her 3A this weekend and Aliona only began to restore her 3A after test skates. I think this is just not true.

although I like Sasha as Dany, that's a bit of a stretch. Emilia Clarke made Danaerys even more an icon.
If you're referring to Dany's age in the books, then yes I agree that Sasha is a closer match.

Her planned content brings no changes:

2A/3F//3Lz3Lo

4S/4Lz/4T3T/2A//4T-1-3S/3Lz3Lo/3Lz

 

[sk8kirsty]

Her planned content brings no changes:

2A/3F//3Lz3Lo

4S/4Lz/4T3T/2A//4T-1-3S/3Lz3Lo/3Lz

So no 3A yet [emoji17]

 

[SkatingFan9]

It doesn't mean Trusova won't do a 3A. "Planned content" doesn't mean anything and often changes. For example, Kihira had planned a 4S at NHK Trophy and we all know that she only did a 3S.

Sasha may gain little yet risking too much.
Regardless of the SP results she will be in the 1st and only group of FP. Clean FP is enough to cover 10-15 points lost after SP. Unclean Free means absolutely anything.

But those published contents look exactly like the last available. Some changes possible.

 

[SkatingFan9]

If she skates clean, she doesn't really need the 3A to win. However, if she doesn't want to be too many points behind after the SP, then the 3A is imperative.

Even if she falls on the 3A (worst case scenario) in the SP, it is not like she would lose that many more points than had she done a good 2A instead. The difference is negligible, especially for someone like her, who can make up all of those points (and more) in the FS.

Anyway, that planned content really does not mean anything.

 

[Edwin]

Go for it, Sasha. Show who is Queen of Triksels and Quads on the ice.

 

[Skuratov]

She is a warrior, with or without 3 Axel, she will fight till last jump, till last step in order to get the first place.
She is the Russian Yuzuru, losing is like death.
Dracarys!!

Usual crowd whining: "No quads = no Trusova. Who would look at her at all, if not for her quads?"

Who would ever look at Tesla if her not being electrical with automatic driver option?

You know, there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ZSHKUSwyc are no quads. But people watch Sasha and many ordinary people admire her as a performer, because she has this energy and soul that does not leave people indifferent.
Good luck to Sasha! Let her succeed.
