With Sasha you can't be sure in anything :confused2: I mean - other skaters spend years to add another quad - she did it in a mere weeksI don't think she would be doing this anytime soon

"quad quads" omg I love it! And yay she did it!!!! Even with the slight landing error, that 4S was insane, and I'm so glad its back! And a backloaded quad! Too bad its not an official ISU competition or she could've gotten more official records. But I'm sure she'll go for it soon!
We'll have to see, but she's done what no other has done before. What about Paula Radcliffe?
The main problem injury to due to the wear and tear of competition and training all the way up to the Olympics.
With how much PCS Alina was able to get, Sasha needs all the tech she can get.
No 4F from Yuzu so far. Can't remember if he ever tried 5-quads layout... but anyway:Yuzu and Nathan have both landed all quads (minus axel) in competition and have done programs with 3-4-5 quads
Huh, I always thought that the key to "keeping it real" is to watch the actual skates. None of Sasha's quads today was worth getting a carrot by any standards. Same with Kamila's quads. Maybe you should watch closer rather than boldly declare: "It's all junk for the next five years, guys, let me tell you!"And let’s keep it real: those quads will start getting carrots. I can just imagine the points she’ll get on her 4Lz if she were to skate directly after Boyang Jin.
...
The technical panel ain’t blind.
Yeah, Sasha can’t quite compete with the top men’s yet but she can sure threaten them with her every step. And on the topic of Sasha getting carrots if she was in men’s FS - as cell mentioned before, Zhou’s 4Lz is pretty bad too (honestly worse I would say since he almost always urs it too) and Uno doesn’t have the most rotated quads ever and yet - he hasn’t received many carrots. If the tech panel downgraded Sasha’s 4T or 4S that would just be wrong, and if she rotates it (which she did at JO) she shouldn’t get UR calls either. The 4Lz is a different topic. Let’s not compare Sasha, who’s fifteen and just starting to get the hang of 4Lz to Boyang Jin, who’s 4Lz is the best in men’s (only Kolyada’s can even compete).

She is crazy in the best, most competitive way. However, I hope she doesn 't add more quads. With increased number comes decreased quality. I really liked her quads in her first competition. They were well executed. Nice landings ( not like last year) However, I did not like her quads at JO. I like beautiful jumps and her jumps were not beautiful at JO. I don't watch Trusova for her artistic side. I watch her for jumps. I want to see beautiful jumps. But, I can't imagine Trusova cares what I want. She will probably do 5 quads next time. ����������

The landings weren't pretty. But I think Sasha's prettiest quad is her 4S, which she didn't do at Nepala. Her 4T is the most impressive for its explosiveness but the 4S looks much more effortless. I think her 4Lz is the least impressive, it's her smallest quad and though she landed it the best here, it doesn't have the height and distance of her 4T to the ease of the 4S.
I agree. So, can Trusova just jump 4T and 4S? No, 4LZ? That would be the best layout. ( again, this is just my opinion....I am sure Trusova doesn't care about my opinion)
I watched JO, and was pretty impressed by Trusova's skate. Personally, I like a more rounded skate more - yeah, old fashioned - by a Woman, not a little girl. Who is,as Jackie Wong tweeted: holy moly. She's one of the best at jumping, whatever anybody says about cleanliness, UR's and so forth. It's great to watch...except for me it's not a mature routine. In fact, I much more enjoyed Satoko who was underscored PCS wise, but managed to move me with her beautiful interpretation. Whenever I see skates like these I am starting to believe more in the notion of an artistic skate and a technical (read: jumps) skate instead of a Short and a Free programme. I tended to be against that kind of thing because such an artistic programme might be a problem in an Olympic sport. And, of course, in the men's skaters like Yuzu, Javi and even Nathan have upheld a certain level of artistic excellence. Not to take anything away from this lovely girl - all comments about bad landings, uncalled URs and such I take with a pinch of salt because no lady has done before what she does, although Alysa comes close and with a 3A too (but very much a junior and - yes - definitely a little girl).
I don't intend to discuss minimum ages for the senior level and so on, but Trusova definitely is a girl, not a woman. A lovely girl - I just adore her love for her dog - and a good, if not excellent - jumper. And I realise Alina cannot match that. Rika might but not yet. I like it that Figure Skating is evolving towards a bit more athleticism and that the ladies are finally following suit with the quad revolution. Just hoping it will still continue to be figure skating, not jump skating. By the way, I do think if Trusova can maintain the jump level while evolving into a more allround skater whn she matures, she could be the Madori Ito of the current age. And that's really meant as a compliment. May she continue for a long, long time.
I liked Paula Radcliffe in London Olympics. She was always so talkative and didn't spare herself in criticism, which is good for a sports person. Always look at yourself first, try to analyse your errors and learn from them.
Aleksandra is quite talkative too, she knows her skills arsenal is superior, but never brags about it, always points out her errors and her desire to improve and be better still.
Now, will Aleksandra try to set a new WR with quad quads in her GP event? She probably wants to, but does #TeamTutberidzeForProgress want to take this risk?
For me personally, I'd rather see her skate a three quads routine clean with good PCS than a rushed routine with four and suffering in PCS. But who knows how a quad or two might be added in without disrupting the flow of the routine and giving Aleksandra enough time to recuperate a little for concentration on delivering this clean skating that is sort of required of seniors?
Keep in mind that we are talking about the girl who said once "if everybody starts jumping quads, I will jump quints".
Take no mistake, Sasha loves jumping. Also, Im pretty sure that her team is fully aware that she will grow, puberty and all that, and things will be harder. I really don't think they will try holding her back now that she wants and can.
Judging by Japan Open protocols Sasha's jumps were worse than Miyahara's and on par with Nagasu jumps. It's definitely.. an enlightment :shocked: I've never noticed it until judges pointed out it to me. Thanks, judges! :yes:
And it appears she degraded in her abilities to do all technical elements after two weeks too https://i.ibb.co/GWRtqx8/1570314404589.jpg
Is she injured, I wonder? What a pity :disapp:

Trusova crushed the opposition. Her performance raised the possibility that she will never lose a contest as a senior competitor. All these conspiracy theories about ISU boogeymen hiding in the bushes just waiting to jump out at her and trip her up ... Naw, just be happy for her.
Alexandra has essentially created a new women's sport. The old one will never be the same. Her GOEs and PCSs will rise automatically like levened bread without her doing anything at all. I for one intend just to relax and enjoy the ride.
