Because Russian name Sasha which uses in the USA is a diminutive form of name Alexandra. Alexandra is more official name, like Anastasia. In the short form Alexandra will be Sasha. In the short form Anastasia will be Nastya (Nastia), etc.

That was so precious. She thought she had to come up already, but the lady was still introducing her
Also, that Kangaroo is a nice gift to remember this competition by. There's a big chance that they're never going to compete in Australia again, so I hope they have good memories of it.
And I love that they took a selfie together. Most endearing podium I've yet seen

Congratulations on winning her first jgp! I really enjoyed her programs. It's great she went for the quad!

fun fact: her technical elements score(75.62) at her very first jgp event is higher than ANY SENIOR lady at Worlds 2017 except Medvedeva (78.27) and higher than ANY lady at senior gp 2016/2017 final

Here is a few lists about highest TES scores among senior and junior ladies.
Highest SP and FS TES scores among senior ladies. Sasha didn't make it to the TOP 10 at SP TES list but she is 6th at FS TES list and she is only 0.45 point short of making it to the TOP 3 here.

52k+ views and 400+ comments in just a few days! wow, what a start for a 13-year old :shocked: even not every senior skater gets so much attention...
P.S. i have to admit i've contributed at least 10-20 views to that amount

I contributed to 9 FS views and 12 SP views
I showed her FS program to my dad who has no idea about figure skating and his reaction was "Wow! She is so little but seems to be so powerful!"

Are you sure it's not more?
This is the first time I got up that early for a competition and it was worth it :agree:
Will probably remember it forever too.
