I was afraid at the beginning of the season, even before Alena got those triple axels, that this was going to happen. When Alena scored 234 at Finlandia I just knew. I didn't quite expect Anna to beat her, I didn't expect her quads to be so consistent. But I really think that Sasha's time with Team Tutberidze was coming to a close anyways. Let's just hope the political bonus doesn't leave her like it did with some others.

I think she left Eteri because she wanted another entry in the Guinness Book of Records as "First and only woman who was successful even after Tutberidze left."

She's also the first one who (maybe) left in time to not be completely broken mentally and / or physically.

What would you expect from a country that at the start of this season, before Nepela was cancelled, was the only one in Central Europe without a Challenger... It speaks volumes of the state of its skating.
Sorry about being off topic.

She's definitely not just my favorite on the ice. She makes such a reserved, humble and, above all, sincere impression that it always warms my heart. I'm glad that Tina is by her side.

The transition of Alexandra Trusova from Eteri Tutberidze to Evgeni Plushenko is the main event in figure skating between the two seasons. The 15-year-old athlete herself first personally went on Instagram and talked about how her life became after leaving the “Crystal”. The skater herself is now at the training camp in Kislovodsk . And this is the first important detail. Because the Eteri Tutberidze group is working these days at another federal base in Novogorsk near Moscow . There she is in her room alone, as coronavirus restrictions affect her. Upon arrival, she passed the tests and is waiting for the results. And for this reason, they bring her food only to the room, leaving her at the doorstep. There is no other way.

- What time did you wake up during self-isolation?

“It's always very early.” And 7:30 is a normal time for me.

- How did you practice self-isolation?

- I had two workouts. In the morning - various physical exercises, running on a site in a country house, and in the evening - already jumping. I spent an hour in the morning and two more in the evening.

- Did you manage to keep in shape during this time?

- Of course not. Hard without ice. If you spend as many hours without it, the feeling of ice disappears. But there is no excitement. Before the race, we passed a test for coronavirus, and as soon as the results come, we can go on the ice. Unrest as such is not.

- Did you find any plus in self-isolation for yourself?

- We spent a lot with our family, brothers, dogs. They did everything that failed in the season. Many different things - watched movies, walked on our site on a country house. Most of the time I’m studying, now I’m reading Alexey Mishin’s book “What is the Ice Silent About?” I like her.

- What is the main conclusion from last season?

- Last season I did three and four quadruple jumps during the performances. Too bad it didn't work out five. It will turn out next season. I could not cope with the excitement in those starts where my jumps were broken. We will work a lot on gliding, artistry, technology. I would like to better prepare for the next season and start performing.

- What motivates you now?

- I have achieved little, I want to go forward. Learn all fours and win all possible tournaments.

- With whom will you work on a daily basis?

- Decisions will be made by Evgeny Viktorovich. I don’t know for sure yet. There will be different specialists.

- Evgeny Viktorovich said that you yourself would choose a program.

- I want a slow program - that's for sure. But there was no specifics yet - there are many options. It is too early to talk about this.

- How is the choice of image and music now?

- We will choose everything together and of course I will consult.

- How much did you come to the training camp?

- For a month, but so far it is not known how long it will last.

- June 23, you are 16 years old, and you will meet him at the training camp, is it?

- It is possible to celebrate. I'm not alone here, there are coaches, other athletes. I haven’t thought about the present yet.

- Which of the Academy students did you manage to communicate with?

“Not yet.” We did not see each other, there was self-isolation. But I am familiar with Sofia Titova and Veronika Zhilina .

“You treat Zhenya Medvedeva well.” Do you keep up the conversation?

- We communicate at competitions. And so - no, we don’t communicate. We don’t communicate with her on the phone.

- Now live one at a base?

- One by one. My parents brought me and left. I’ll miss - I can’t live without my mother.

- Favorite quadruple?

- Sheepskin coat.

- What qualities do you value in people?

- Purposefulness and patience. I do not consider myself patient - I need everything at once and always.

- Which tournament do you remember the most?

- The first Junior World Cup. I remember how we prepared for a very long time. Everyone was at the 2018 Olympics except Sergey Alexandrovich. Between the world was the final of the Cup of Russia . He was falling from a sheepskin coat. Everyone was scared when this happened. But it didn’t hurt me - I got up and went on. We have been preparing for peace for a long time. Gathered on him and quadrupled there. And after an arbitrary program in the evening I got sick.

- What was the most important start last season?

- Grand Prix of Japan . Four quadruples jumped. The main thing should be the world. At first I did not believe it. I didn’t think that something could cancel. In short, I wanted to jump axel, and in arbitrary five quadruples. But then I thought that the world every year and did not become upset. I believe that they did everything right. Health is more important. World Cup every year, nothing is scary.

- How much do you weigh? How ready.

- I’ll never talk about weight anywhere. When you ask any girl, she will not say.

- And what about the growth?

- At the end of the season it was 157, now it probably has become a little more.

- Do you see yourself in another sport?

- I tried to stand on pointe shoes. And for some reason I really want to jump with a pole, but I'm afraid that this will not work. I wonder what they feel during the jump.

- What time can I start figure skating classes?

- You can start with 4. And consciously - from 9 years old. I always wanted to be an Olympic champion. With 9 already know exactly what to do and how to work. It takes a lot of work.

- I played soccer with my brothers in isolation?

- Yes, also with dad and mom. Compared with my father and brother Yegor, who worked, I can do little. I scored goals, but this happened by chance.

- How many cosmetics are needed for the program?

- Shadows, mascara, arrows, lipstick. Arrows - mom helps, and so basically herself.

“Your hair is so long.”

“I never cut them.” I have them to the knee, but how long - never measured.

- What style is closest to you?

- The most convenient thing in a tracksuit. I love dresses, heels, very high-heeled shoes. But I rarely go where , mostly to a banquet.

- Watching something on YouTube?

- Most often something about animals, some kind of funny videos. It happens that of yourself. Rarely. Usually after the programs I watch my performances. From the junior world, I watched the rental many times. And when she performed poorly - once I look and that's it. At first I just look, and then - attention to some details and errors.

- Why did I change the dress to blue?

- We decided that more like the image of Daenerys. She didn’t have a burgundy dress . And blue - yes, it was.

- Do you have any kind of diet?

- There is no diet. I just don’t eat anything unprofitable at night. And so - just a lot of things I do not like. Fast food cake. Sweet and flour - sometimes I eat.

- What is your favorite meal?

- Dumplings!

- Can you give advice to girls who want to lose weight?

- You just need to move more, and not try to sit on some kind of diet.

- How many times can you push out?

- 50 I can definitely, and then no. Because it was the biggest task.

- How do you usually have training camps?

- I don’t know the training plan yet, but one weekend will be as always. I will watch movies, read books, walk around the base. Nothing more can be done.

- Does it inspire you that Evgeni Plushenko was preparing for the Olympics on this base?

- It’s good to prepare here, because the atmosphere, the air, the mountains are training. And then it will be easier. “On top” is usually harder to train.

- How to feed at the training camp?

“They bring food under the door three times a day because of the coronavirus.” Now we can’t leave the room. And until the results come, we won’t go anywhere. They did not know other restrictions.

- What should have been your new dress for the World Cup?

- She didn’t see him. It should have been closer to the world. But I myself did not see him.

- The happiest moment in life?

- When Lana appeared in my life. I wanted a poodle. We went to Veliky Novgorod for her .
