Is second place a loss? Maybe it is — but not for her. Alexandra Trusova broke boundaries, and won something far greater: the hearts of millions. At the Olympics, she set eleven world records each earned through her hard work. She rewrote history. And still, they said it wasn't enough. She proved the impossible was possible, yet stood on the podium in silver. Alexandra Trusova is a hero to me because I see myself in her. Her frustration and her refusal to give up — everything I felt when I was one step from victory. I know what it feels like to come so close, and still fall short. But Alexandra... she made the whole world watch, and she made it feel. Let them call her silver—she will always shine like gold!
