Alexandra Trusova is a phenomenal Russian figure skater who surprised and conquered the whole world with her incredibly difficult four-turn jumps. Several world records, inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records - and this at the age of sixteen!
It seems that for this girl from Ryazan there are no laws of gravity. Every performance of Sasha is an explosion of emotions of fans and figure skating experts. After all, not so long ago it was impossible to imagine that girls would be able to perform ultra-si elements on a par with male figure skating representatives. Nevertheless, it happened: Sasha proved that there is no limit to human capabilities and rightfully became the most technically strongest figure skater on the planet. However, this book is not just a biography of a phenomenal Russian athlete. It is a story about the path of a talented child from an ordinary figure skating section in a regional town to the top of great sport. About what kind of character and what strength is needed to break through to the leaders. About the help of family, about falls and rises. A story about how hard it can be to go out on the ice and win when the whole world seems to be against you.
