On Saturday, March 10 another figure skater from Russia marked her presence in the world of figure skating. At the tender age of 13, Alexandra Trusova won the world junior title and made history by performing two quadruple jumps in her free-skating routine at the International Skating Union (ISU) World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
She became the first woman to land two quads in competition and only the second to land a fully rotated quad in competition after Japanese figure skater Miki Ando nailed a quad Salchow at the 2002 Junior Grand Prix Final. On Saturday, Trusova landed both a quad Salchow and the first quadruple toe loop to be performed by a woman in competition.
