Alexandra IGNATOVA 🇷🇺 Free Skate | Grand Prix Cup of China 2026

So she is back. Alexandra Inyatova has the only quad planned in the competition. We've seen them abundantly from her. She's delivered it through the challenger series already. The opening quad lutz of 11 and a half points may be what's necessary for her to try to move up to potentially take the title at the Cup of China. Delivers yet again quad lutz. Fabulous back outside edge entry into a triple loop. May not be able to hear her music as the crowd gets excited with the triple toe double axel sequence. Another lutz toe intended next and secured. Doing some weaker skating skills on the back crossovers but getting the crowd back on board with the cantilever spread eagle. When known to the skating community as Sasha Trusova, she broke records abundantly. And although there aren't the same number of quads that we've seen from her in the past en route to that Olympic silver medal in 2022, it is mind-blowing to see her be able to skate like this so well with that quad lutz as a mother of a one-year-old. I think that is even more astounding than all of the records that she broke with the quadruple jumps that she unveiled.
