Just curious why everyone calls her Sasha, is that some kind of nickname or is it a Russian thing?

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.

She has certainly caught my attention. Big jumps, promising technical skills, and most importantly, she packs many interesting elements in her FS! I'm definitely following Sasha's career now:luv17:

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:hap10:

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.

Highest SP and FS TES scores among junior ladies. Sasha is 5th at the SP TES list and 2nd at FS TES list. She was only 0.19 point short of breaking Alina's FS TES record.

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!" :biggrin:

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.
