MOSCOW, February 28 Olympic champion in pair skating Maxim Marinin answered a question about why the silver medalist of the 2022 Olympics, Alexander Trusova, failed to become an Olympic champion.
"What is Trusova's trouble? Sasha, as far as I can tell, is a practically uncontrollable and unpredictable person. She, due to her youth, talent and inner fire, does not hear the coach. And the coach still needs to predict the result and know what to expect from the athlete. Sasha decides to jump the triple axel and all his quads. But if she carefully, systematically started the season with two quads and gradually increased momentum, showed progress and reached the peak of form for the Olympics, then it might have been a gold medal", — quotes Marinina RT.
Alexandra Trusova in the fight for gold in women's single skating lost to another Russian Anna Shcherbakova. As part of a free program at the Olympics, Trusova managed to land five quadruple jumps, becoming the first figure skater to achieve this achievement.
