Alexandra Trusova - "Why Not Me?" 

it was the hardest olympics for figure skating fans. and even more so for figure skaters. p.s. i will delete any negative comments towards Anya and Sasha.

When she said “I hate this sport” my heart just broke! Sasha will forever be my favourite figure skater ever.

А мне нравится Сашина истерика, она настоящая, честная, здоровее будет, нельзя это держать в себе, ну и что , что при камерах, Саша публичная личность, от камер не уйти, а плакать хотелось здесь и сейчас.

She is a badass. I haven’t had a favorite skater in years but here she is now. I hope she continues to skate for many years.

She has really defined and functional muscles for a female athlete, which will protect her from getting injured easily. Unlike other girls, her quades come from her muscle strength and do not solely rely on the light body weight and the pre-pubescent physique. If anyone is gonna have career longevity, I believe it would be her. As long as she doesn’t overtrain herself and keep going, she’s gonna make it!

"Here's a stat to illustrate: The first man to land a 4T was Kurt Browning in 1988 and then Shoma Uno became the first to land a 4F in 2016. Trusova became the second lady to land a quad ever in 2018 at age 13 and then accrued the 4 non-loop quads in a period of 1.5 years and landed all of them internationally by age 15. What took men 28 years to do, she did in less than 2 years single handedly as a young teenager. She's the embodiment of female empowerment in sport - Of course she's famous!"

Немного обидно, что минуту слабости сильного человека растянули по всевозможным видео. Хотелось бы напомнить, что минуты слабости бывают у всех, но такой силой духа, как у Александры, похвалиться могут немногие!

I can understand her feeling… She really put many efforts and want to achieve the goal, she do her best but still can’t get the best results

Не понимаю от куда столько хейта в её сторону. Александра ни разу слова плохого не сказала про тренеров или других девченок. Проявила минутку слабости после феноменального исторического выступления. Тем более 17 лет трудный возраст, я искреннее ей желаю счастья и сил продолжить кататься и радовать нас. Александра уже икона этого вида спорта, новатор и пионер четверных прыжков. Она сделала фигурное катание в несколько раз зрелищнее.

У Саши самые высокие амбиции, выше я ещё ни у кого не видел в фигурном катании среди девушек. И что очень приятно, она пытается эти амбиции реализовывать в жизнь, за такими людьми идут другие. Такие как она создают трэнды.

I completely understood her reaction. Her program was so technically advanced. I think her style is ahead of her time.

Alexandra is deserving of winning the Gold! She is absolutely marvelous! You have many fans in Florida!!!!!

My interest in figure skate increased just due to trusova, and I only watch her performance. Her performance at unstoppable song, everytime I watch that I get goosebumps

Sasha may not have won gold but her hardwork and spirit has won much more than that, it has won hearts of people around the world. Sasha will be forever remembered as the pioneer of quads in women figure skating.

I cried when Sasha cried. Been following her during the past 3 years from a little girl to a little lady. I understand how heartbroken she was because she knows how hard and how short a figure skater can be in Russia. (See Evgenia, she is just 22 now) This could be her last Olympic and no one knows how important that gold medal means to her.

She really deserved gold

Феноменальная девчонка, восхищаюсь ей уже 4 года. Никогда не было, и не будет такой революционерки как Александра Трусова. Это история, которую мы с вами можем наблюдать каждый день. Уникальная техника, несгибаемый характер - это и есть настоящая Чемпионка всего.

heart broken for both Kamila and Alexandra. cant imgine these little girls bearing lots of pressures and disappointment to themselves. To Alexandra, every four year has a gold modelist. but there is only one for the first women to complete those quad. You and your hard work will be remembered as history.

I love that so many people love and support Sasha 😭😍. She needs it and deserve it ❤❤

She's my personal favourite. Screw what the judges think.

she is one of the best russian female skaters, her ability to get all of the quads in 1 program is crazy. she is a winner to us

👑Queen Alexandra👑 Don"t cry, you're the best ! ✨💫🌟✨💫🌟💫✨🌟💫💫🌟💫✨🌟💫✨💫🌟✨💫🌟✨💫🌟🌟💫

she will always be my favorite

Sasha is amazing as a revolutionary athlete, and as a beautiful, transparent and honest person. She will be forever my champion. Thanks for editing this video. Spot on. Good job!

Thank you, I was crying watching this. Aleksandra deserves the gold, she is the true expression, power, and passion, and we love her so much

Just like the Queen of Hearts doesn’t need a crown to rule the world, Sasha doesn’t need a gold medal to be the most loved athlete in her sport. Today she might feel she missed out on that one thing she ever truly wanted, but one day she’ll realise that the world already knew that she is the gifted one ☝️

i’m literally crying watching this i love you sasha, you deserve better

I was rooting for her, these girls are put under unbelievable pressure to perform their best. I hope after the olympics they will return to comfort.

You have my heart. My whole family always rooting for you. Queen Sasha! Xxx

Правильно сделала, что выплеснула эмоции - вредно в себе держать, тем более, что она никого не оскорбила...

Please continue skating, you have many fans around the world. Your 5 quads Olympic record may never be equaled. Good luck to Sasha.

Nevermind about the color of medal that only decided by a few people, you are indeed the champion in the eyes of the millions of people and professional sportsman in the world, pushing the limit of human and making the impossible possible. Thank you for showing the spirit and put up a good skating show for us to admire. Nobody and critics know how much pain, blood, tears you have gone through to make that happen. There is nothing wrong to feel upset, anger, disappointment, cry it out, that make me feels you are more human than a skating robot. Keep up the good work and not let those few people sat beside the ring take away your enjoyment in this sport you love. I won't remember who got that yellow color piece of metal, but I remember you, Trusova, as the champion.

I’m a big fan of trusova now. I love how passionate and intense she is

Thank you for uploading this. It broke my heart seeing Alexandra awarded the silver metal. I know is just the begining of her bright career. We are all humans.

She's best of the best, girl from future.

It a hard question. It is a balance between art and athletic ability. Those that favor Jumps and those part of the skill, will say she won. She had a historic number of Quads. Those that favor the more artistic side of the sport, will say it was a correct decision. I thought Trusova won. But I am not surprised she took the silver. It depended on what the judges liked. I could care less about what she said immediately after she got silver. She had hopes for Gold. She was SO close. It was a let down. She was upset. She is a fierce competitor. A lot of stress this week, more than normal with the doping scandal. I am surprised one of the skaters haven't thrown something at the press by now. I also hope she will be back.

I love Alexandra ❤️!! She's always been my favorite Female skater 😍.. I hope she won't quit figure skating, that'd be so sad 😢..

She was the best this girl she is amazing on ice!

Queen ❤

До сих пор душу разрывает от слов Саши, таких искренних, горьких, полные обидой и безнадежностью: "У всех есть золотые медали! У всех!! А у меня нет!..."... 😢😢😢 И, прошу обратить внимание: 1)Саша никого НЕ оскорбляла, только выражала свои личные ЧУВСТВА; 2)Саша НЕ отталкивала Этель Георгиевну - она только ВЫВЕРНУЛАСЬ из её незавершённого объятия; а ведь это РАЗНЫЕ действия, не так ли?...

I find it impressive that despite a huge growth spurt over the last year or so, Sasha's jumping has improved. She looks to become quite a tall woman. Her dream for years was to land five quads in a major competition, and she finally did it, at the Olympic final no less. Had she not missed that one jump in the SP, she would have won...

Как же я люблю эту девочку♥️

I love her

I love her 😭😭😭😭

Am I the only one who gets tears whenever I watch this?

honestly i've been following figure skating for the past year now, and safe to say i think sasha is one of the coolest figure skaters out there at the moment for real, the dedication she has, the way she's able to push herself, it scares me. Yes she is an icon, her free skate at the olympics was the best she has done this year, landing 5 quads, gaining a new season's best, even off the ice she has such an interesting personality, but at the same time she's also just a 17 year old who has sacrificed a lot of her life to this sport. the amount of stress she had to be under for the last couple of years, the pain and fear she might have felt... i hope it hasn't been to much for her take your time to rest and heal, take some time for yourself bc you have given so much of yourself already. and come back whenever you feel ready. i hope i can still see a lot from her.

Именно благодаря Саше Трусовой я полюбила фигурное катание ! В ней вся мощь , сила , красота ! Обожаю смотреть на нее !

Я многом обязана Саше, благодаря ней я полюбила такой прекрасный вид спорта, как фигурное катание. Я просто обожаю эту великолепную фигуристку, у которой великое прошлое, настоящее и будущее. Она вошла в историю, а вернее въехала, (на четверных прыжках) оставив непоколебимый след. Я обожаю Сашулю за её стойкость, целеустремлённость, обаятельность, человечность, доброту и привлекательность, за её человечность. И мне поистине тяжело видеть, как ей тяжело, что она тоже не машина для четверных прыжов, а живой человек, не робот! У неё есть эмоции, на которые безумно трудно, невозможно, смотреть без слез. Сашенька! Любимая наша, мы любим тебя, и всем сердцем поддерживаем, ты достойна этого золота, этих побед. Но жизнь безусловно до чёртиков не справедлива. Я уверена, у тебя всё получится, Сашенька, ты, наша русская ракета, мы тебя любим!

когда она сказала: «Я ненавижу этот вид спорта», и ее утешил чертов оператор, и все взрослые посмотрели на нее косо, это так грустно, что мне хочется плакать

She is wonderful

She is so beautiful! 😊

Sasha Trusova is my favorite of all three Russian female figure skaters. I just think she is so fierce and not afraid. I believe Kamila Valieva is probably the greatest female figure skater of all time. It broke my heart to see the entire world bully and break her online in their shameful relentless attacks of a 15 year old girl. Now Anna Shcherbakov is absolutely phenomenal as well. She has such elegance and grace on the ice. It was a toss up between her and Sasha for gold in my opinion. I thought Sasha may have deserved it though but only by a hair. But in the end my favorite of all three is Sasha. I just want to see all three competing again. The three of them are the three best female figure skaters of the last couple years and nobody can argue that.

I first saw her training in 2018, she caught my attention for wanting to try quads when no one else was doing it (and the fact that she loved Game of Thrones and her favorite character was Dany -just like me! Haha-). From that moment on, I cheered for her in every competition and admired her desire to make history rather than just winning. But now I realize how many people discredit her just because she doesn't place first in important competitions, even president Putin didn't mention her because she was silver, despite landing 5 quads in the Olympics. It must be frustrating for her...I hope Sasha realizes she doesn't need gold to make a statement and to make history. She already changed the sport by starting the Quad Revolution. Hail to the quad queen.

Oh I love this girl so much ❤️ Red hair goes well with flame 🔥 in her heart ! She is a true athlete!!!!

Great video! It shows small and then grown Sasha and her amazing performance.

You are the QUEEN OF QUADS!! That is your forever title. You are the jumping queen. Don’t hate skating. Hate the media for being so harsh and unfair. Hate the scoring at competitions because you don’t always get credit for your ability.

She is the living Evolution the Revolution of female Figure Skating. She changed the Sport raised it to a complete new level. She broke more than 35 World Records and 11 Olympic Records. She is the Quad Queen She have all Records for the highest judged Single and combination element She wrote her name down in Golden Letters in the History of Figure Skating. She is so much more than a round piece of metal! She a Legend with just 18 years of age. 4F🔥4S 🔥4T 🔥4Lz3T 🔥4Lz 🔥🙌💪👑

I am so impressed by Sasha! Both on ice and off ice. Such an incredible athlete and brave enough to honestly show her true feelings in an environment that does not encourage this. Stay as you are Sasha, always be true to yourself ❤️🙏

Elle mérite l'or Tu es la meilleure Sasha 💪

Thank you for your work, it really shows hey way in fs. Very beautiful way to break heart. Wish all the best for Sasha.

I love her sm

thanks for this incredible video! i really love it and nicely edited! sasha is my forever champion too ❤️

When she enter the senior circuit 2 years ago, I was not the biggest fan of her. But then she won my heart with her steel determination and fiery personality. Normal skater would play it safe by not putting the 3A due to low success rate but Sasha being who she is, she still went for it. (Kinda like Yuzu going for the 4A) She may not win but she's my favorite to watch that night.

Feeling her sadness.. Sasha have pure smile. But when she cry... Is so sad

Sasha me ayudó tanto en estos años, crecí con ella. Es una gran patinadora , y para mi la mejor. Insuperable y una legenda viviente. Las medallas doradas llegarán. Con ella hasta el final.❤

sasha truly deserves the world, its just so heartbreaking to see her like that

We love you! Don’t CRY

Love your video of Sasha, i'm watching it over and over. There is so much emotion, perfect choice of music thanx.

She's young... she will mature because of her determination,

Silver this time, Gold next time. Go for your dream, Trusova, don't give up.

Саша - моя любимая фигуристка всех времен, она культовая и вдохновляющая. это разбило мне сердце в прошлом году, когда все девочки узнали, что взрослым все равно, это заставило меня тоже плакать

Лично мне Трусова всегда больше нравилась, чем та же Валиева. Очень жаль, что Сашу никто особо не поддержал, когда она расплакалась.

she was wonderful.

Była najlepsza!!!

Es mi favorita y seguire siempre su carrera la mejor de mundo😊

a legend !

We see that Russian skaters train so hard and like military. Beautiful, elegant, and powerful presentation. All the best to these athletes that dedicate themselves! Thx for the nice video

Прекрасная. Люблю и обожаю!!! Саша - великая фигуристка. Будь счастлива, Александра !

Классная ,красивая спортсменка . Настоящий боец , задала новую планку в фигурном катании , до которой будут тянутся следующие поколения фигуристок выполнив 5 четверных прыжков в одном прокате .На эмоции внимания не обращаю Молодец ,удачи и всего наилучшего, Девчонки молодцы , стараются

I first cried for her victory when she accomplished her 5 quands her dream, then I cried with her for her desepreration. Now I'm crying again knowing her heart-broken. All this is like a deep wound. With time she wil recover from the distress and start fighting again.

I wish there was more than one gold...Alexandra was incredible!!!...but I don’t want to discredit Anna for her efforts...Anna was as beautiful as Alexandra was magnificent...I cannot choose one over the other 😿

Все у тебя будет хорошо, Александра! Ты сможешь! Новые успехи ждут тебя!

私もトゥルソワのフリーを見て彼女が優勝者だと確信してました。だから1番高いところに登れないトゥルソワがどれほど悔しくて悲しくて辛いのか想像に難しくない。裏切りに感じて怒るのも少しだけ、共感できます。銀メダルだったけどあのステージがいちばん素敵だった。彼女のフリー演技にはすごく力を貰った。ありがとうトゥルソワ！

Alexandra trusova princesa melhor atleta da Rússia, born to Win ❤️

иногда люди забывают...что спортсмены-это не роботы,а точно такие же люди..с жизнью и чувствами..

So beautifully edited and captured . ❤

Красивая сильная талантливая девочка! Она ещё себя покажет!

Desde Chile , Sacha tiene muchos seguidores y admiradores de su joven carrera , ten paciencia yá lograras tus ansiadas metas........Adelante Sacha......¡¡¡¡

Kinda of random, but I love Sasha’s voice

I love her!

It's been very dificult to see who was the best, I really enjoy all the russian girls participation. But in the last performance "Wonder Woman" was.....incredible and awesome!

I love Sasha so much! And I totally understand where she is coming from, why she is so genuinely confused. I think I know the answer to her question. First of all, I think she indeed SHOULD have won the Gold. It's so hard to say that, though, because Anna's performance really was near-perfect. Honestly? If the scoring in figure skating was not so finite, they could easily have tied for the gold, and all would be more than happy with that - including Sasha. (I think; because I think she likes her teammate, Anna). ... Anyways, the easy answer *is* the typical one - she did not have enough artistry in her Free Skate. It gets complicated with that answer, because I think Sasha has somewhat of a split personality - she is part badass, and part ballerina. Ah! if only she could combine the two! But the two are in a power struggle within her, I believe. I truly believe it. If you look at her Free Skate of this Olympics: she skated to a full-on Gutter Punk song! On one hand that is friekin awesome and badass, and it makes me love her all the more; but on the other hand it's like ... come on, you gotta figure that - even now days - the Olympics is not ready for that. I literally think that if she had skated to ANY other song than that punk rock, she would have won. Is that right and fair? NO. Does it makes sense? Yeah. ... Anyways, going back to the artistry: I do know that Sasha has plenty of artistry in her. I have seen her competitions as a younger girl. She has evolved into more of an athlete (or, being honest, somewhat of a machine, or, work-horse). She simply has to skate for the love of skating; not for the main goal of winning Gold. ... Ah! but I keep seeing that video screenshot of her in anguish, mascara running, and it is just sad, borderline tragic. She is SO AWESOME. Love her. Win or lose. Ideally, she would let go of that demand to win gold and be best of the world (whether she is amazing and awesome enough to deserve it - WHICH SHE IS! I will tell her that right now), and I hope she recaptures more of the love of the sport for itself, and for HERself ... and, in that state, we would see her win gold. ... But as I say that, I realize she is right, in perhaps THE main way, regarding this topic. ... she did enough to win gold this time. She strived so hard, she planned a daring program - and NAILED IT - ... and yet they brushed her off. .... ugh. It is sad. We love her, though. Not only a mind-blowing skater, but a very genuinely cool and good person.

Саша лучшая

Сашенька умница, хочу напомнить и ей и всем, то что она творит на льду не дано пока больше НИКОМУ. Давайте ценить наших замечательных уникомов.Особенно уникальных как Сашенька.

Trudova mükemmel ❤

Her skate was captivating; I couldn't look away. ;-)

Te amo Alexandra❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Бриллиант наш 👏❤️

Как прыгает! Просто фантастика!

we can see her smile fade away
