Ladies skating suits fair weather fans who don’t have particular attachment to any skater.
But if Trusova establishes herself over time, she will eventually win people over. Nathan Chen did though consistently winning and proving that he wasn’t going to shatter himself into a thousand pieces. People were so so skeptical of him when he went to senior - particularly when he was stretchered off the ice at Nationals after doing a quad.
But Nathan is a good example - Probably fortunate in the end he didn’t win OGM with that empty jump drill. The programs he’s put out since then are much much better.
I don’t think universal fan adoration is ever going to be handed on a platter to skater who has done one GP - these things need to be earned.
