http://instagram.com/p/BgJu2yygAMH Alexandra's mom devotes all her time organizing the sport life of her daughter. Father Trusova is a master of sports in judo, sambo and hand-to-hand combat. Jumping is a favorite element of Alekandra in figure skating. She is not afraid to fall, but perceives the approach to the jump as a challenge. At the age of 10 she first tried to jump triple axel - an element that only three skaters performed before. And by the 13th I had already learned two quadruple jumps. Trusova was looking for competition. This is what attracts her to the training in the Eteri Tutberidze group. She likes to compete with skaters who skate no worse: Evgenia Medvedeva, Alina Zagitova. A friendly atmosphere allows the strongest athletes to ask advice from each other. "I want to do something first in the world." To this end, Trusova also relied on learning the most difficult jumps in women's skating. In 2017, she succeeded a quadruple Salchow, in 2018 she added a quadruple toe loop. In the process, perfection over the triple axel. http://instagram.com/p/BgJsHaMgtee "Can I not get up early when I'm an Olympic champion?" This question really worries Alexander. Over achieving the goal - the title of Olympic champion - she has been working hard since 2014. Then Trusova first watched the skating competitions at the Olympics in Sochi. "I looked at Medvedeva as a star." Trusova is trying to be equal in figure skating to Evgeni Medvedev, but he is trying to remain himself. Particularly, she is inspired by the character and tenacity in the double Olympic medalist.
