The pressure weighing on teenage figure skaters was all too evident on Thursday when silver medallist Alexandra Trusova broke down in tears before the podium ceremony after the women's single event at the Olympics.The 17-year-old Russian, who attempted five quadruple jumps in a high-octane routine at the Capital Indoor Stadium, missed out on gold by 4.22 points after the judges favoured her compatriot Anna Shcherbakova's free skate.World champion Shcherbakova, also 17, landed only two quads, and Trusova's athletic performance to Cruella and the Stooges's 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' helped her score more points in the free skate, but it was not enough to make up for her disappointing performance in Tuesday's short programme.
