Alexandra Trusova

She has a fight ahead of her, but she always did, and she needs to be at her best by the Nationals, because it would be insane to demand her to be in top form with this kind of time difference and in September… much ❤️ as always!
The only fight she has is the fight against herself. Only Sasha can win over Sasha.
When the girl does her job the rest marches home...

It did not seem like a particularly wise decision to attend the US Classic in such short notice. The awe and interest built up by the phenomenal performance at test skate has unfortunately dissipated somewhat. Of course there is a long season ahead and Sasha has plenty of opportunities to prove herself, still it seems a preventable strategic error on her team’s part.
 
This article says Sasha will attend Stage 1 of Russian Cup. :scratch2:I hope they’re paying attention to pacing her well ahead of bigger competitions. I understand the need to practice her jumps in competition to combat nerves, but her team should think ahead so that she won’t overwork herself. Looks like a rush decision to me…

i think they are really pushing the 5 quads this season. they want her to get comfortable competing it under pressure so we will see her compete more.
 
Well, Sasha withdrew from the free skate, maybe the overload started to appear. although she looked perfectly fine after the SP. BTW, once again perfectly clean 3A during the warm-up.

 
:thank::bow: For posting this!!
I am crying because I am less than 50 miles away and could not go to see her!!
For years I have waited for someone to skate to this music and, now it is Trusova!!! A gift..
My guess is Sasha was inspired by Elena Ilinykh, who coached her for a little while last year. Lena has skated to both Secret Garden and Frida in the past.
 
Photos of her SP.



Edit: Also, an interview with Tatiana Tarasova, where she praises Sasha.



Google translation below:

Tatyana Tarasova commented on the mistakes in the jumps of Alexandra Trusova at the start of the season.

- Let's start with the fact that she is a unique girl, outstanding. There is no such figure skater in the world, never was, and it is not a fact that she will appear in our century, - said Tarasova.

- It doesn't work that way. In figure skating, even those who do not make difficult jumps at all fall. Take the leading male singles: not all of them will jump in an arbitrary three quads, but we are talking about five. Of course, you need to understand that Sasha goes to the absolute maximum in the Olympic season. It seems to me, as I said, that the jumps in her program are located very well, and this is the main thing. So this free one just needs to be rolled. And so that the rest of the rivals, going on the same ice with Sasha, understand that they can only fight for the second place,

- Did you like Trusova's Olympic programs?

- Yes, and both. I like the choice of music, I like the emphasis on what the athlete does best in the world. Sasha began to spin better, and this can be seen with the naked eye. She skates not only well, but very well. But most importantly, I remember both of her programs. What I can’t say about many other productions. Somehow they didn't stay in my head, which is very strange.
