Move over, old-school skating—Russia’s Alexandra “Sasha” Trusova has rewritten the rulebook and gone viral while doing it. The Olympic silver medalist’s electrifying performance at Skate Canada has racked up a jaw-dropping 12 million views per year on YouTube over the past three years, and it’s easy to see why.

Trusova isn’t just a skater—she’s a pioneer. While men have long dominated the art of quadruple jumps, Sasha smashed the ceiling and made them a must for women’s figure skating too. Once upon a time, a single jump could spark outrage—just ask American skater Theresa Weld, who got in hot water nearly a century ago for flashing a bit of knee mid-jump. Fast forward to today, and Trusova is landing quads like it’s no big deal—and earning medal after medal in the process.

At just 20, Sasha has already scooped up three golds, two silvers, and four bronzes across major competitions, including the World Junior Championships. And the best is likely still ahead.

Born in Ryazan, Russia, in 2004, Sasha is the eldest of three, with two younger brothers, Egor and Ivan. She hit the ice at age four and, by 2015, had moved to Moscow to train seriously. Just two years later, she was breaking junior world records with her stunning short program score of 73.25.

But it’s her unforgettable 2019 Skate Canada performance that fans can’t stop watching. With black-and-white hair and a Cruella DeVil-inspired costume, she strutted onto the ice, gave the judges a cheeky “tired” head-tilt, and then delivered a routine so precise and powerful, it practically demanded a standing ovation.

Even if you’ve never cared about figure skating, watching Sasha fly across the ice is pure joy. Don’t believe it? Watch her Skate Canada routine—or better yet, catch her in Olympic form. And for a peek behind the scenes of this skating superstar’s life, give her a follow on Instagram.
