About the jumping content at the Olympics
Alexandra Trusova: The atmosphere at the Olympics is different from all other competitions. Absolutely different feelings, I don’t know how to answer this question, everything is different. The atmosphere is good, everyone is very supportive.
Of course, I made the decision about five quads, even before the free program I was offered to remove the salchow and do four quads. But no one really argued with me. Because it’s useless? Yes, everyone knows. I was going to this, I wanted to do it at the Olympics, I was preparing for this.
Did Tutberidze supported the decision to jump triple axel in the short program?
Alexandra Trusova: Neither for nor against, they did not say anything, no one said anything about it.
After the free program, you reacted very emotionally to the result. Would you have the same reaction now?
Alexandra Trusova: Yes.
If you had the opportunity to re-skate the programs at the Olympics, would you change something?
Alexandra Trusova: I would have done the same.
