13 year old Aleksandra Trusova becomes the first female skater to land clean a quadruple toe loop. She is also the first skater to land successfully two quadruple jumps within the same routine and the youngest to land a quadruple jump. Furthermore, Aleksandra is only the second female to successfully land a quadruple jump after Miki Ando. Way to go Aleksandra!

Her technical score was only... 11 points higher than Zagitova's gold medal routine.

But then again, there are A LOT of parameters that will decide her junior-senior career transition. Growth spur for example can change everything (it often does for such skaters), and even Zagitova can still "disappear" because of that... Only time will tell.

I wonder if she could maintain the same difficulty when she ages up for Beijing.

But still, apparently the 3rd best in the all-time free skate ranking and 5th in the all-time overall ranking...not bad, when you're 13
