Trusova took third place at the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi. In the free program, she fell from a quadruple lutz.

Alexander Zhulin: It is difficult to say whether Trusova will return to the previous level. For me, the program is empty in terms of choreography – a lot of crossovers.

I don’t want to offend anyone, but it will be hard for Trusova to cope with quads while she is overweight. If a few kilograms are gone, it will become much easier for her to skate.

This is a difficult moment because it’s girls, they are unpredictable. I think her character is strong, so she will return to the previous level. I would like to hope so.
