Hii guys! Just wanted to let you know that because of the difficulties with copyright in my last video this one has a lot less video and is more picture based. Links for fancams used is in the description box. And link to the original editor of the picture as well. In minute 17:57 i mean Anna not kamila 😅

People need to realise Sasha never had a temper tantrum, she literally had a mental breakdown. She told the cameramen to leave but they kept filming. Also translations on Twitter are wrong. She never said she hated eteri or anyone, she said she hated the sport. As a Russian from what I heard anyway. It’s sad these mistranslations are happening too, it’s giving her a bad rep.

What also breaks my heart about Trusova, is she must be aware of the "expiration date", so she knows this was probably the only chance she had at the olympics, and she never stood a chance, because her team never believed in her winning gold to begin with.

Russian here and I want to clarify one thing. Sasha said “I hate it” multiple times ([nenavizhu]) and “I hate this sport”. She NEVER said “I hate you”. It was heartbreaking.And I don’t think they would let her win. They all “knew it all along”. On a side note: When I saw Anna’s gala program at EC last month I thought “that program is for a gold medalist, not silver or bronze”. Also, I blame Danii G. He should have done his work better and gave Sasha a stronger program. Her FP is empty, I can’t argue with that.

People who think there’s no way kamila could’ve skated that poorly without it being intentional has no idea what the kind of pressure she was under can do to somebody. I’m shocked that she got out there and managed to land anything, or finish the program. It would be hard for a seasoned adult who had been mentally prepping for a shitstorm to withstand it without breaking, for a 15 year old child, away from her family, favourite to win, hated by the skating community, at her one chance at the olympics, to even get out onto the ice is a miracle. It has been said that skating is 90% mental 10% athletic. I don’t doubt for a second that she truly tried her best to podium.

I wish Trusova had been chosen for the free skate in the team event. Even if she wasn’t going to win gold in the individual, she deserved the honour of being the first woman to land a quad at the Olympics.

I imagined Kamila would fall in the FS, but Trusova's breakdown was really surprising and heartbreaking. She always looked so strong, guess there was a lot of suppressed frustration in her

Sasha said the truth: “I hate this sport” and “You knew everything”.

Not a focus of this video, but I love that Kaori made the podium because she is 21 and it shows that women's figure skating has not entirely become a girl's sport. Adults can still be competitive and still be Olympic medalists.

I think what’s also heartbreaking about Sasha is the fact that she didn’t get to claim the title of first woman to perform quads in the Olympics. She completely revolutionized quads in women’s FS, is *the* quad queen, but after all her hard work, the title goes to Kamila. I really do feel for her. In her mind, she’s losing everything and the entire universe just seems to be against her. She can never seem to win gold in any competition and now she can’t even have something as simple as a title.

When you said, having the same choreographer just creates a mess and you've never seen such a disaster. I thought, imagine Dance Moms at the Olympics. That's what this was

I got Hunger Games vibes from this. All three of these girls are victims. Thrilled for Kaori.

I felt so bad for every girl. Anna standing there all alone looking somber after she just WON was heart wrenching. Kamila beaten down by the whole world and only to then let herself down was tragic. Sasha's breakdown was raw and real. I understand her--she beat a record no one thought possible even 10 years ago. Never getting first can drive a young, unsupported girl insane. I hope they get better guidance. It was so hard to watch.

People are also forgetting that Sasha, not so long ago dealt (and probably still is) with a foot injury on her right leg. Just the amount of pain she had to indure to regain her 5 quads back ( from test skates), she is the only skater I can remember who didn't water down her routine due to injury.. Poor girl..

Not about Kamilla, but the way people are treating Trusova’s reaction to not getting gold I think is harsh. She’s 17 and she’s being psychologically abused essentially. She’s been trained to this gold is the only real win. She also did 5 quads and that has its merits. Based on her social media and interviews, she seems like a perfectly nice kid. I think this one moment on global television is a little unfair to judge her on.

even understanding Trusova's justifiable emotional outburst, for me the most touchful moment - in the worst way possible - was Kamila saying that "at least the medal ceremony will not be cancelled" after seeing her FS score and then broke down herself in tears.

Watching this live was insane - you're sitting there watching like "this exact footage is going to be in so many movies/shows/documentaries". The clip of Kamila saying "now they can have the ceremony" and then breaking down sobbing gets me every single time. I literally cannot fathom being under that amount of scrutiny and pressure, especially as a kid. I also read somewhere that Sasha said "this competition has ruined my life forever". This was all heartbreaking. I hope somebody watches out for these girls and they can come back in 2026 if they want to

the sad thing is that you could still hear Trusova's breakdown when Kaori was skating to the podium

as a trusobot, seeing those pictures of sasha just fully breaks my heart. she has always accepted the silver/bronze with a smile, but i guess she genuinely was lead to believe that landing those 5 quads in competition would for sure give her the gold. knowing how hard she worked on those quads, i do wish she would've gotten a gold medal (even for the team event, i would've been happy). i just hope she leaves eteri for good.

I feel so bad for Sasha, say what you want, aint nobody want to have a mental breakdown in front of the world on purpose, the child genuinely was torn apart.

It was awful and heartbreaking to watch, the ceremony felt like a funeral. I feel so bad for Trusova, those KIDS going trough THAT much trauma all by themselves and some half a** shit* coaches who literally could not care less.

Just think how crushed Trusova must have felt. In addition to everything you said, she probably realizes this is most likely her first and last olympic games and maybe her one chance for gold...unless she changes camps again and corrects her skating as she grows... I was in speechless shock as I watched this

to what you said about sasha, i remember seeing somewhere in training she said my excuse for having no golds yet is that i’ve been trying to land all the quads, and when i do i will win gold, and then she did just that and still couldn’t win, i could only imagine the heartbreak and devastation she felt in that moment, knowing she did every jump possible and still wasn’t “good enough”

Literally everybody cried except Anna, the OGM, who sat there alone, emotionless. WHAT IS THIS ANYMORE??

this olympics gave me pyeongchang 2018 flashbacks. medvedeva/trusova hysterically crying after getting silver, zagitova/shcherbakova standing by themselves with no one to congratulate them.

I feel so horrible for Sasha. Her breakdown is just all over the internet, videos and photos when she just wanted to be alone and frustrated and now people are calling her entitled. I've seen people make EDITS of these girls' breakdowns but this is fucking trauma used for clicks and views. I'm so fricking mad.

i really hope this doesn't affect anna and alexandra's friendship, both of them being in eteri's camp is already like going thru hell and having someone who is going thru the same thing and being with you is so important.

Anna has always been overlooked and less people are talking about her just because she is never in the middle of a drama and people do love drama She is an amazing athlete, her power of will is insane and her story is a story of overcoming, especially this year. Her performances on these Olympics were magical and I still can't get over them. I hope she'll be able to fully celebrate her victory though I think it's hard with everything that happened and I hope very much that her relationship with Sasha will survive. Their friendship deserves to be long and happy

I still feel so bad for Wakaba, imagine how unfair everything must’ve felt to her with how strongly she was underscored

Anna sitting alone with her gold, her goal, she won the olympics. And the world is just falling apart around her and she’s sitting there realising that nothing was worth it. She has everything that she should’ve wanted and realised her dream had fallen apart long before she had achieved it. That broke my heart.

Thank you, Kaori, for keeping Eteri from obtaining her goal to have an Eteri sweep of the women's podium at the Olympics. She's the real hero.

Honestly Sasha's breakdown made me cry. While I do think that she the artistry is not her strongest point, I'm sick of seeing people saying that she has no artistry. Artistry is 1. subjective and 2. not equivalent to soft and elegant movements. Sasha IS artistic, but in a powerful and fiery way. While Sasha was overscored in PCS, Anna's TES were way to close compared with the technical part of Sasha's fs. That being said, I do think that the OGM is in good hands. Trusova may not have gold medals, but champions can be forgotten, legends on the other hand are remembered forever. Also can we make a petition for Sasha to go back to Plushenko (and his badass costumes) and skate a fs with 6 quads to "look what you made me do"??

Schcherbakova, for me, is that transfer student who sits quietly in the back of the room and looks like she's a bit helpless and nothing special, but then she solves the hardest math problem while simultaneously doing backflips lmao Trusova is like a rockstar, she's been working so much only to realize she's intended to not win gold- it's OBVIOUS Eteri planned gold for Kamila, and for the other two other medals in whichever order. Kamila was like a boiling kettle, it was very hard to watch and I hope she's fine. Tho I must say the show was for me stolen by the Japanese and the Korean ladies, Korean ladies being graceful and feminine, Japanese ladies showing so much PERSONALITY and strength it was so endearing to watch them

Miss Anna standing there after achieving her biggest accomplishment on her career broke my heart

After Sasha's free I was screaming, I was so happy, I was shaking I was celebrating. 15 mins later I was plunged to hell. I was so heartbroken I wanted to pull Sasha out of there and just hug her.

Actually it was just a rumor that Trusova didn't want to leave after the free, she said it herself. After she did her doping test, she waited for the bus alone for an hour, and after that she had to go back inside to get the internet, because she needed a translator. But eventually they found her a ride and she made it safely to her hotel room.

the way trusova was crying made me deduce that she really suffered to achieve this goal...

i never thought the 2022 olympics would be more dramatic than 2018.........

My first reaction to Trusova’s outburst was: ‘Girl is acting like a complete child…but she’s not really a kid anymore, she’s turning 18 in June!’. Then I realised that for these girls, their development isnt the same as that of other 18 year olds. They grew up in an insulated environment where anything other than gold was failure. No wonder they are this distressed. I feel so bad for these girls, they must feel like their entire life’s work so far has been a faliure :/

***EDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The comments under this are turning negative and I want to say this: I did not write this comment as an invitation for anyone to hate on Alexandra Trusova OR Anna Shcherbakova (or any skater!) Let's remember that these girls are all talented and hardworking. They all deserve success. Please think before you write something nasty, it says more about you than either of these girls.*** I felt SO MUCH for Sasha in that moment - you could literally see all the years of work and hope crashing down around her. I wonder if Kamila had won the gold would Sasha have reacted the way she did? As much as they are friends, Sasha and Anna are also old rivals... perhaps this was just one time too many for Sasha to see Anna with the gold medal on her neck. She finally landed all the quads yet Anna, once again, pulls through with a miracle performance (I believe she hadn't been landing her quads well during practices before the FS) And then Kamila, against all odds, falls down to fourth and Anna gets the gold. In Sasha's mind it must seem like everything always works out for Anna and nothing works out for her. It must ache to know she came so close to gold when Kamila fell, and that once again her old rival (who has already won so much) wins again. Anyone who knows what its like be placed second best to someone for a long time knows exactly what she was feeling. I would have had a mental breakdown too. God I wish they'd just had a happy olympics!

Trusova doesn't care about gossip and entertainment. She trains hard, look at her muscles, has her own beliefs, and is disciplined, open and honest about expressing herself

I’m a gymnast, not an ice skater, but nonetheless I think it would be very difficult to throw a routine like that. I have no problem slamming on the ground by accident, but if I tried to fall mid skill, I think my body would stop me. If I recall correctly, she had at least one hard fall. To do that on purpose seems scarier than the actual skill. I love your videos, I felt a lot more educated this Olympics. Thanks!

im russian so I’d like to clarify some things. im in NO WAY pro Eteri and her coaching methods. Anna and Camila had a photoshoot together without Sasha because that photoshoot was organized by the same sponsor that both of them have a contract with. (Sasha doesn’t) and Sasha also have said before that’s it’s her choice to do 3A. she even said it’s “not negotiable” and she’s gonna do it no matter what.

18:13 Kamilla crying, getting consoled by a freaking stranger woman, Sasha crying, cursing at the world, man trying to calm her down Danil daydreaming, Anna in sixth dimension confusion. I am like what species bitch is their coach that she literally has two literal children crying and she doesn't give a shit

I felt so bad for all three Russian girls, but mainly for Anna. This young girl who had just won the Olympic gold medal sat there looking sad and dejected... And Sasha's outburst was heartbreaking too. She's the sassy one that seemed so above everything...

Honestly I was rooting for Anna the most bc I felt so bad about her being overlooked for other girls. Both her SP and FS were amazing but I feel the same about her winning as she herself said she does: empty. She's never going to get past this whole thing and just be able to say "I was the best". This ordeal was upsetting. Thanks to figure skating gods for letting us see Kaori's beautiful happy face at the very least!

Can we talk how Ekaterina Kurakova was 1st all the way through 1st half of FS as the first figure skater from Poland since 1994? I am so proud of her, definitely a highlight 💜 🇵🇱

I literally woke up and went "Where is my Paola La?" You must have heard me. Always love your videos!

Trusova has a mind of her own. She was going to attempt the 3A in the short, no matter what. She’s stated that many times. She’s not someone who plays it safe.

I'm honestly scared for these girls' mental health at this point. All three should be accompanied by trusted, well informed adults for the time being. They have been put into an impossible situation, where even the most strong willed adults couldn't survive without a massive trauma. And they're teenagers. They're too young to handle pressure like this, especially since their brains are still developing. They need mental health help, they need people to make sure nothing irredeemable happens. Because if they're left alone and let down by the adults in their lives again, something's got to give. And, as unfortunate and terrifying as it is to think about, most often it's the teenager's will to live.

Here's my personal humble opinion: 1. Kamila threw it herself, she just wanted to stop, quit, but her original passion and Eteri's pressure was tearing her up, and in the last moment gave up in order to give others to have a chance at the podium (ISU said no medal for everyone if Valieva wins), I mean she did well in the short programme even after all of those pressure, imo she was just thorn and in the end made her choice (her falls were very uncharacteristic) 2. Trusova was not breaking down 'cause she lost or being childish, she was breaking down 'cause she realised her TEAM wanted her in 2nd or 3rd place, it's like realising her most dreaded nightmare is becoming real

This Olympics has actually made me get into figure skating. It has made me hate Eteri and love her skaters. I am now a diehard Trusova fan. She is a defiant genius. The Wonder woman gala program has given me a new appreciation for her. I hope after this she goes and finds a coach (maybe Nathan Chen's🤔) and bounces back to a gold medal. She looked so incredible at the gala. Also I love Kaori.

Thank you for your kind and empathetic analysis. The media has been way too hard on Trusova, when in fact, she’s very traumatized. She’s not just crying about the medal, there’s more there for her to grieve.

This Olympics was so emotionally damaging, I’m never going to fully process it all. Kamila’s comment about the medal ceremony after seeing her scores, immediately followed by her crying just made me shatter. Truso’s mental breakdown was so devastating to witness and should’ve NEVER been recorded. Anna, OGM, literally just sitting there and saying she felt no emotions leaves me so heartbroken. The amount of emotional trauma these girls are going through is horrible to see. I truly hope change is coming to protect them, so they can enjoy their sport in a healthy environment ❤️ PS Bing Dwen Dwen, you saved this Olympics

I NEEEEED FS to raise the age limit. Period. We will always have people trying to dope but at least this way we can protect literal children from a lifetime of trauma.

Trusova LOST many times and she never reacted this way! She always had good sportmanship...why are people so mad at her? Leave her alone😭

That was a such a whirlwind of emotions that day. I literally was crying for all the girls suffering on television. I’m so happy Sakamoto was the shining light in all of this drama. I really hope there will be some reform in that Russia boot camp and these girls can heal.

I just love that interview with the three girls where the interviewer asked if Anna deserved to be at the olympics and now she’s won the gold

this Olympics was a whole mess, I hope all the athletes get over this cause woah…

What we saw on that ice, on that day was so irreparably damaging, and detrimental. The adults surrounding these young girls have failed them all. These girls are only potential medals to them They only see them as products who can just as easily be discarded. They deserve better, they deserve more

That day, third place went home the happiest

If Trusova had won, Eteri would have been criticized over her lack of components and skating skills. That's why they were more so fostering Anna to win, and why Trusova felt so betrayed

The last 3 winter Olympics have been a lot.

The coaches did tell Trusova not to do the triple axel. Trusova stated in her interview after the short that „the triple axel has never been, is not being and will never be discussed“.“

On the stream I was watching, the commentator said, ‘whatever happens we must remember that she is a human being, and a very young one,’ after Kamila’s free skate, and my goooood, that resonated. I feel so sorry for her. Also yay Kaori!!!

Anyone doubting Sashas performance skills, should take a look at her programs from before she started throwing quads around like candy. She had genuinely decent presentation skills back then, in contrast to right now.

Im still shook how Kurakova went from 24th to 12th I was in sad tears in the short programme and happy ones in the free. She outlasted two groups TWO

Russian Team: having a mega freakout Kaori: Holy shit, I got third place! This is awesome!

I honestly think Sasha said everyone has a gold because she could’ve had a gold form the team event. Instead of putting kamila to skate the fs she should’ve done it, she should’ve been the first women to land a quad at the Olympics. It was a slap in the face to Sasha. Even if kamila didn’t skate the fs, ROC still would’ve gotten gold. So I understand why Sasha is mad and said everyone has a gold except her

One positive moment - Kamila made a post on insta where she puts everything like "my FIRST olympics have just ended" so at least that`s giving me hope and if she makes it to the next olympics it will be a miracle itself, even though she will be 19 at the moment. Maybe raised age limit for women will help this happen. As Trusova fan, numbers are that 2A in the free would not be enough either, so she risked it all 😭

How could anybody call that a temper tantrum? After years and years stress, drama, starvation, overtraining which lead to so many injuries, losing your childhood dream and your innocence while being alone in a foreign country in front of all the press? I'm surprised Trusova didn't just completely lose it and flip this whole team off while yeeting a bunch of chairs at their heads. Bruh

I think it’s so funny how so many people are comparing Eteri to Cruella de Vil and Trusovas free routine is LITERALLY called “cruella” and based off Cruella de vil

I feel so bad for all the girls, but especially for Shcherbakova. So much drama surrounding Valieva (and to clarify, none of it is Valieva's fault) that she basically had her Olympic Gold moment robbed of her. Knowing how much Valieva is being embraced by the Russian media right now, she's probably being brushed aside in her own country a lot too.

I totally agree- Wakaba and Kaori were the bright spots in the women’s field!

Anna was also a sign of hope and grace as well as the woman who got bronze. Anna was in such an awkward and horrible and lonely position due to the issue with her teammates. She just continued on with absolute class and grace. 💜

we need an “I, Tonya”-esque movie for this situation

Is it bad that I’m happy that Aliona was injured and thus incapable of going to the Olympics - glad she didn’t have to experience this!

It’s very important to know that Sasha (Trusova) was not angry at Anna for getting Gold! She was angry with her coaches! I think she is very happy by the fact that Anna got gold and nobody else! They share a room and posted pics after the Olympics! They are such power friends

I WAS WAITING, ETERI IS LITERALLY CURSED AT THE OLYMPICS

I'm just glad there's no drama whenever I win a gold medal for figure skating on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. 😅 Also agreed Alysa has mentally improved greatly. I mean she got to perform K-pop at the gala, HER passion! She ended her Olympics with a bang, so it's pretty clear she is livin' the life and showing the haters the door

i really thought Anna was beautiful on the ice.. i always loved her performances.. she always dances and engages. anyways i hope she got the chance to celebrate with the people that love her and support her for real. i did ope you talked more about her and her performance tho.. once again overshadowed with all the drama

I love Wakaba. She’ll always be one of my faves

Ekaterina Kurakova free skate was the highlight for me, she just looked so happy skating

i unironically cried when kaori hugged wakaba cuz the olympics left me an emotional and sensitive mess

im from germany and saw this live in tv. after this they showed Katharina Witt, a german figure skating legend, who was invited to the channel who shows olympia. and Katharina Witt started crying feeling with the three girl, especially Kamila this was sooo heartbreaking to watch

I hate how the cameras just continued filming when she clearly was not happy and do not want anybody to film her having a mental breakdown. I think her crying and breaking down honestly has a deeper meaning then just not being able to win gold.

This happened last year and it's strange knowing that I along with millions of other people saw this live on TV, it's still unreal to know this happened at an Olympics, hopefully this doesn't happen EVER AGAIN!

After the free skate I was so numb and traumatized, all I could do was to go to the mall and buy a bucket-sized scented candle. It sounds funny but tbh it was kinda manic

Just to clarify some things. Trusova was warned about her 3A in SP by coaches, she decided to do it anyway. I am not trying to put away some guilt from couching team but just to be fair. The person who hugged Valieva is teams psychologist. But these girls definitely need a big team of psychologist.

It is also so sad that Anna doesn’t even seem happy to win gold medal

I've been checking your channel so often waiting to see you post a video about this. Your videos have become an integral part of my experience of the figure skating would

I’ve only recently got into figure skating and I’ve learned so much from your videos. One small critique, I think it would easier to follow if you referred to people by their last name only or their first name only. You tend to switch between first and last name and it got confusing at certain points if you’re not familiar with the skaters

The coaches did tell Trusova not to do the triple axel. Trusova stated in her interview after the short that „the triple axel has never been, is not being and will never be discussed“.“ And she never said „I hate you“ to Eteri. She did say the rest.

The Olympics are emotional damage from beginning to the end. We can finally see true face of eteri and her coach system, it became so obvious that she'll NEVER hide what she did. I feel so bad for Sasha. She did incredible work on ice, hoping she'd get a gold medal this time, but when she broke, NOBODY was there to comfort her, and people blame her for acting "childish". I mean, she is 17 yo among adults, and people expect her to be an adult, even reporters with their "why are you crying?" expect her to answer something.

Kinda new to figure skating. I watched the whole female free skate event, I have to say I love Ekaterina Kurokova.. Made me want to root for her. She is like sunshine, the way she pinched herself at the end of the program to confirm that she was not in a dream. She really made my day, until it got ruined at the end of the competition LOL

I was also so so so happy and touched for kaori when she won the bronze, to me, that’s a win and hope that teaches me not to give up doing your best and seek quality coz people will see it and you will be prepared to receive the acknowledgment you deserve

I love your commentary style. You talk to us like we’re your closest best friend, when they talk just to each other. 😊

I think the reason why Trusova was so angry was because they didn't put her in the team event which was shocking. I would have definitely thought that Valieva would get the sp and Trusova would get the free skate but they only chose Valieva. They could have chosen more people and didn't. And if I remember correctly they gave a bs reason like "we don't want their friendship to be jeopardized so we chose just valieva". If I was Trusova I would be made too. Also, I've seen some people speculate that the coaches kept telling her to put the 3a in the short instead of doing a clean 2a.

NOT SASHA CRYING IN THE THUMBNAIL I CANT DO THIS RN-

Regarding Anna's and Shasha's friendship I truly hope with all my heart they can stay close. I personally don't think Anna is the dream breaker, as she has said in many interviews her job is to skate not to give the scores. On the other hand there really is no way to describe the heartbreak Sasha must be feeling, however, I do hope that all the world understands this is not about two girls against each other, is about a whole system trying to pull the apart.😢
