Alexandra Vyacheslavovna Trusova (Russian: Александра Вячеславовна Трусова; born 23 June 2004) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2018 Junior World champion, the 2017–18 Junior Grand Prix Final champion and 2018 Russian Junior Champion. She is the first female skater to land the quadruple lutz jump and the quadruple toe loop jump.

Trusova holds the junior world records for the short program, 74.74, the free skate, 153.49 and the overall score, 225.52. Her technical score of 92.35 in the free skate is the highest ever recorded in women's figure skating on both the junior and senior level. She is the first female skater to land the quad Lutz and the quad toe loop, the second to land the quad Salchow behind Miki Ando and the first to land two ratified quads in a free skate.[3][4] At 13 years old, Trusova was the youngest lady to win the Junior World Championships and Junior Grand Prix Final. At the 2018 JGP Lithuania, Trusova set another milestone by becoming the first female skater to land a quad in combination (quad toe loop + triple toe loop).[5]. A few weeks later, at the 2018 JGP Armenia, her quad Lutz jump was deemed fully rotated, making her the first female skater to land the jump in international competition.

Personal life

Trusova was born on 23 June 2004 in Ryazan.[6] The eldest of three children, she has two younger brothers.[7]

Career

Early career

Trusova began learning to skate in 2008.[6] She trained in Ryazan under Olga Shevtsova until 2015; she then moved to Moscow where she was coached by Alexander Volkov.[8] Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov became her coaches in 2016.[6]

Trusova finished 4th at the 2017 Russian Junior Championships after placing 6th in the short program and 4th in the free skate.

2017–2018 season: Junior international debut and achievement of quad in competition

Trusova at the 2017–18 JGP Final.

Trusova's international debut came in late August 2017 at a 2017–18 ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) competition in Brisbane, Australia. Ranked first in both segments, she won the gold medal ahead of teammate Anastasia Gulyakova.[9] She landed an underrotated quad Salchow in her free program. Her total score at the event, 197.69 points, is the third highest ever achieved by a ladies' single skater on the junior level, behind only Alina Zagitova and Marin Honda.

She then finished first at JGP Belarus, thus qualifying for the Junior Grand Prix Final.

At the 2017–18 Junior Grand Prix Final, Trusova scored 73.25 points, breaking the Junior Ladies World record for the short program. In the free skate, she scored 132.36 points, which was about 0.5 points less than what her teammate and training partner, Alena Kostornaia, scored. However, because of Trusova's 1.5 point lead after the short program, she won the competition by about 1 point.

In January 2018, Trusova won the gold medal at the 2018 Russian Junior Championships after placing 1st in the short program and 3rd in the free skate. Again, she narrowly beat her training partner Alena Kostornaia, winner of the silver medal, by only about 0.6 points.

In March 2018, Trusova competed at the 2018 Junior Worlds where she won the gold medal after placing first in both the short program and the free skate. Her free skating score of 153.49 points was the new World record for the free program. Her total score of 225.52 points was the new World record for the combined total score. At this competition, Trusova became the first female skater to land the quad toe loop, the second to land the quad Salchow behind Miki Ando, and the first to land two ratified quads in a free skate.[3] She landed the quadruple jump for the first time in 16 years since Miki Ando in 2002.

2018–2019 season

Trusova started her season by competing in the 2018 JGP series. At her first JGP event of the season she won the gold medal in Kaunas, Lithuania. She was ranked first in both the short program and the free skate and won the gold medal by a margin of about 30 points over the silver medalist, Kim Ye-lim.[10] As of September 2018, her scores at this competition are the highest scores achieved in an international junior ladies competition. At this competition Trusova became the first female skater to land a quad in combination - a quad toe loop + triple toe loop. She received 16.14 points for that combination. She also became the first female skater to attempt a quad lutz in a competition. She landed the jump but it was credited as under rotated.[5][11]
