ok, I don't love the use of masculine here either; however, my interpretation of what Eteri said was that Trusova's approach to her skating is one that is more typically found in male skaters rather than that she herself is male/masculine. Maybe this is a distinction without a difference I don’t know, it feels a little different to me. Anyone who works with a lot of students over time will see patterns of behavior I think. I thought I saw another translation without the whole Russian/Japanese/Russian/English journey that went into a little more detail in that section but I can't find it now.
