So im pretty new to the wider FS fandom and I was confused for the LONGEST time when it came to Trusova - I thought "Alexandra" and "Sasha" were sisters or something, I was seeing stuff on SNS like "what's gonna happen with Alexandra's program"/"I hope Sasha lands her 5 quads" and was thinking "huh? Wasn't Alexandra Trusova the 5 quad girl? Wow, her sister must be equally talented".

Or when everyone was talking about "Sasha" going to the Olympics and I was wondering "huh why is no one talking about Alexandra? From where did Sasha come?"

UNTIL IT HIT ME A FEW DAYS AGO THAT SASHA IS ALEXANDRA'S NICKNAME/SHORT NAME

ALEXANDRA TRUSOVA HAS NO SISTER NAMED SASHA TRUSOVA

SASHA IS HER

SHE IS SASHA

I feel so dumb lol

Maybe because in Germany "Sascha" is a boys name and I would never associate it with someone named Alexandra ...

Edit : no sch, only sh in Sasha. Yep blame my german-ness for this...
