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. :yikes:

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.

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 :p
