In the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Anna Shcherbakova won the gold medal in figure skating over Alexandra Trusova due to a higher PCS (Program Component Score), despite a lower TES (Technical Element Score) than Alexandra Trusova. A PCS values artistry, performance, composition, and interpretation, while a TES values technical difficulty and execution quality. Alexandra Trusova is known as "the Quad Queen," and became the first woman to land five quads in a single Olympic Program in the Beijing Olympics. A "quad" in figure skating is a jump where a skater completes four full rotations in the air before landing. These jumps are extremely difficult, requiring immense speed and spin to achieve the necessary height and rotation within the few tenths of a second they are in the air.
