Silver medalist of the 2012 World Figure Skating Championship Alena Leonova called Alexandra Trusova (Ignatova) the leader of the Russian team. Match TV reports this.

“I believe that at the moment Sasha is definitely the leader. She has already shown this twice. Moreover, I would even say that she is a leader with a reserve,” Leonova said.

The figure skater noted the ease of skating of the Olympic silver medalist and her motivation. “It may not be easy for her at all, but the way she does it all, what crazy motivation she has, is, of course, very cool and great,” she added.

Leonova explained that she was drawing a conclusion from the test performances. According to her, Trusova was preparing for the tournament in Japan, so she was ready earlier than other athletes on the team.

In early September, Trusova took second place at the Challenger series tournament Kinoshita Group Cup in Japan. On Sunday, at the test skates in Moscow, she performed a free program with a quadruple Lutz.
