"Sasha is a separate phenomenon in figure skating": Trusova's performance at the Russian Cup in Kazan made a splash

Alexandra Trusova triumphantly performed at the fourth stage of the Russian Cup in Figure Skating, having won a landslide victory on the sum of two programs and leaving far behind the main rival in the person of Alena Kostornaya.

If the competitions were held under the auspices of the International Skating Federation (ISU), then a 16-year-old girl would rewrite two world records at once.

The rental of Evgeni Plushenko's ward in the free program delighted the experts, despite two falls from quadruple jumps.

Honored Trainer of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova called her a hero and expressed confidence that she would soon establish new achievements at international tournaments.

“In the free program, she needs a little rest before entering the third quadruple.

After all, not all men insert so many jumps in four turns in a row.

There is something to work on, one of the spins was rated at the third level, but it was her mistake - the turn was not counted.

Overall, it was a very good performance.

Very much, "RIA Novosti quotes Tarasova.

The honored coach also explained that Alena Kostornaya, who won the short program and won the silver medal, is still difficult to compete with her classmate due to the lack of ultra-si elements.

“Alyona and Sasha got almost the same points for the components.

Trusova added in the second grade, while girls develop comprehensively until puberty, "the specialist explained.

In turn, the Olympic champion of Salt Lake City Alexei Yagudin compared the performances of Trusova and Kostornaya with artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, respectively, hinting at the technicality of the former.

He also wished Alexandra to skate the free program without mistakes in the future.

“And yet she gave everyone a heat.

She is not only a "Russian rocket", she is in a hockey sense the same "Red Machine" - a person who goes out and bomb - four quadruple jumps, three of which are done, a cascade of a quadruple toe loop - oiler - triple salchow at the end of the program.

All this is very cool ", - quotes the words of Yagudin TASS.

Trusova's second victory at the stages of the Russian Cup strengthened the opinion that she took the right step by leaving Eteri Tutberidze.

According to the two-time Sochi-2014 champion Maxim Trankov, ambition did not allow her to be in secondary roles in Khrustalny, which she demonstrates this season.

“There were three of them (Alena Kostornaya, Anna Shcherbakova and Aleksandra Trusova. -

), and Sasha was the third all the time ... In such a situation, you already start to blame not yourself - why did I fall from five quads?

She had the right to be dissatisfied, I can understand this transition, "Trankov suggested.

The athlete's progress was also noted by the bronze medalist of the 2015 World Championship, Elena Radionova.

According to her, Trusova improves her technique from start to start, which, in turn, has a positive effect on her confidence.

“She began to jump higher, plus she complicates the content and in terms of choreography, she added very much this season.

And it's cool that she and Zhenya Plushenko had a connection, the result of which we see.

And we evaluate athletes precisely by the result.

Judging by Sasha's progress, they have developed a good tandem, ”Radionova is sure.

Four-time world champion Natalya Bestemyanova especially noted the skater's attitude at the competitions in Kazan.

“Trusova is some kind of fantasy!

No wonder they call it a Russian rocket, just a miracle!

I see Sasha's desire to do all these multi-turn jumps, she is very interested.

Trusova's goals are probably only visible to her.

We must trust her, "Bestemyanova told the Championship.

Dance pair coach Alexander Zhulin admitted that he was greatly impressed by Trusova's performance.

According to him, her set of elements makes her invincible this season.

“Even with two mistakes I brought everyone 24 points for technique.

Trusova is a separate phenomenon in figure skating.

Rides at the level of men, if not better.

It is unrealistic to defeat her with the help of choreography and plastics.

All the elements are at her level.

If a person owns four quadruples, this, of course, is a phenomenon, ”Zhulin admired.

Other experts also speculated about the favorite of the upcoming Russian championship, which will be held at the end of December in Chelyabinsk.

Honored coach of Russia Inna Goncharenko is sure that only Anna Shcherbakova can compete with Trusova at the moment.

“Kostornaya was supposed to produce clean rolling, and she did it.

But the spins were not fast, unsure, she could do them better.

It can be seen that it is not quite in shape.

Also an objective second place.

Khromykh let go of the situation, but she could have competed for something more, ”Izvestia quotes Goncharenko.

Alyona Leonova, the winner of the 2015 Universiade, was in solidarity with her opinion.

She expressed the hope that an interesting struggle will unfold between Plushenko and Tutberidze's wards in the near future.

“I had no doubts that Sasha would win.

Even with some blots and mistakes.

She had a very difficult program, but she still has to work.

Quadruples take a lot of strength, both morally and physically.

Slightly falls short in some places, but the program still looks very organic, ”Leonova said in an interview with Sport24.
