Former figure skater Alena Leonova says she ‘didn’t really understand’ the skater’s free skate Alexandra Trousova where she was placed in coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya’s squad.
Trusova took third place at the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi on Sunday, losing to Adelia Petrosyan and Sofya Samodelkina.
Trusova, 18, who won silver at the Beijing Olympics, where for the first time in history she performed five pure quads in a free program, in Sochi fell from a quad lutz in the “ free program” and did double rittbergers and salchows instead of triples.
– I really liked the short program. She looks good in this program. As for the free program, because of so many errors, it looked a bit nervous, I didn’t really understand the program itself. Maybe with a clean performance we will see some kind of image that Sasha wanted to show,” Gazeta.Ru quoted Leonova as saying.
