Olympic diving champion Elena Vaitsekhovskaya expressed the opinion that the figure skaters in the group Eteri Tutberidze started doing quadruple jumps thanks to Alexandra Trousova .
– Still, I tend to think that the competition from the Tutberidze group is, in general, exactly what Sasha [Трусовой] (unlike Alena [Косторной]) has always been necessary. I fully admit that she herself did not understand this when she ran away from the competition in Plushenko’s Angels, but in fact, a strong group is an ideal habitat for Sasha: for everyone around to jump non-stop, and she would be the best and unreachable there.
So, actually, it happened for a while. I am still convinced that the whole Khrustalny group jumped quad jumps mainly thanks to Trusova, and not at all to Tutberidze and Dudakov. It is clear that sooner or later this would have happened without Sasha, but when she started jumping quads, she, so to speak, broke a very strong block in the minds of many people (including her coaches ): she showed everyone that it was possible, and shot the rest.
To be the first in such things is an extremely difficult thing, by the way. And also a kind of talent – not to be afraid to take such measures. Go where no one else has gone. Do not adapt to an unfamiliar situation, but take it upon yourself and emerge victorious, quotes RT Vaitsekhovskaya.
On June 16, Trusova entered the reserve list of the Russian national team for the upcoming season. The figure skater is the silver medalist of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games in individual skating. Trusova in October 2022 joined the group of coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya. Previously, Trusova studied with Eteri Tutberidze and Evgeni Plushenko.
