Alexandra Trusova
Alexandra "Sasha" Vyacheslavovna Ignatova (née Trusova; Russian: Александра Вячеславовна Игнатова née Трусова, IPA: [ɐlʲɪˈksandrə ˈtrusəvə]; born 23 June 2004) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2022 Olympic silver medalist, the 2021 World bronze medalist, a European silver (2022) and bronze (2020) medalist, the 2019 Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, the 2019 Skate Canada champion, the 2019 Rostelecom Cup champion, the 2019 CS Ondrej Nepela Memorial champion, the 2021 U.S. Classic champion, and the 2021 Skate America champion. Domestically, she is the 2022 Russian national champion, the 2019 silver medalist, and the 2020 and 2021 bronze medalist. At the junior level, she has been a two-time Junior World Champion (2018 and 2019), the 2018 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, the 2019 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist, a four-time champion on the Junior Grand Prix series, and a two-time Russian Junior national champion.
Trusova is credited for leading the ladies figure skating technical revolution and being the new face of women's figure skating by becoming the first female skater to land the quad Lutz, quad flip, and quad toe loop jumps; the second to land the quad Salchow (after Miki Ando); and the first to land two and three ratified quads in a free skate, achieved at the 2018 Junior World Championships and the 2019 Nepela Trophy, respectively. She is also the second woman to land a quad at the Olympic Winter Games (after Kamila Valieva), and the first woman to land four and five quads in a free skate, achieved at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. She currently holds four Guinness World Records, the fourth in recognition of her landed quadruple flip at the 2019 ISU Grand Prix Final. Her technical score of 92.35 points in the free skate at the 2018 Junior Worlds was the highest recorded in women's singles skating at the junior and senior level until the GOE (Grade of Execution) system was changed at the end of 2017–18 season.
Additionally, Trusova is recognized as the youngest woman to become a World Junior champion and a Junior Grand Prix Final champion following her wins at the 2018 World Junior Championship and the 2018 Junior Grand Prix Final at the age of 13. At the 2018 JGP Lithuania, she became the first female skater to land a quadruple jump in combination after performing a quad toe loop and triple toe loop. At the 2018 JGP Armenia, she became the first female skater to land a quad Lutz jump in international competition. She is also the first female skater to backload a quad in combination, which she accomplished at Skate Canada 2019, landing a quad Toe in combination with a triple Salchow. Trusova currently has the second highest free skating score of any female skater, with 177.13. Trusova is the first and only female skater competing with four different quadruple jumps—toe loop, Salchow, flip, and Lutz—and the first to score above 100 points in technical elements, with 100.20 in the free skate at 2019 Skate Canada and an Olympic record 106.16 at the 2022 Olympics.
Sasha Trusova was born on 23 June 2004 in Ryazan, to parents Vyacheslav and Svetlana into a sports family. She has two younger brothers, Egor and Ivan. A passionate dog lover, Trusova owns seven dogs: a chihuahua named Tina, who often accompanied her to competitions; a husky named Jack; a miniature royal poodle named Lana, which she received at the Rostelecom Cup in recognition of her victory at the 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships and for landing her first triple Axel in practice; a basenji named Alita; a second miniature poodle named Cruella (nicknamed Ella); a Bichon Frisé named Selma; and most recently, a toy poodle named Smoke. Both Ella and Selma were gifts from fans in China.
A short biography detailing her career throughout her teenage years was published in Russian under the title Alexandra Trusova. The Girl Who Fights Gravity: And Changes the World of Women’s Figure Skating, with an English translation released in March 2021.
Trusova was in a relationship with Mark Kondratiuk, the 2022 Beijing Olympic Team Event bronze medalist, from May 2022 until the summer of 2023. In late 2023, she began a relationship with fellow Russian figure skater Makar Ignatov. On 17 June 2024, Trusova and Ignatov announced their engagement, and they were married on 17 August 2024, after which Trusova adopted the surname Ignatova.
On 22 March 2025, the couple publicly announced via Instagram that they were expecting their first child. On 6 August 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, a son, later revealing his name Mikhail. Trusova started recovery shortly after giving birth, and began regaining her jumps, currently working on triple and quadruple jumps in combinations.
In July 2026, Trusova graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University.
