Medvedeva leads Russian sweep in Bratislava

“When I went into the Axel I thought ‘do it, do it’ and when I fell, I was like ‘oh no,'” she recalled.

Still, Medvedeva won the free skate with 142.90 points as she picked up lots of positive grades of execution (GOE) as well as high component scores, including one perfect 10.00 for interpretation. The reigning World Junior Champion racked up 215.45 points to win the title, and the skater who is usually very composed, cried when her scores came up.

“I can’t believe it; this is just impossible!” the 16-year-old said. “Today in the Kiss and Cry was the first time I cried from happiness. The tears in the Kiss & Cry were tears of joy. I thought I would be in second after my fall so to be in first was unexpected.”

Anna wasn't particularly impressive here. I wonder if her world spot is at risk.

Great job with the article. It was very interesting to read.

Correct if I am wrong but this is the third time Medvedeva has messed up on her double axel this season, right? Wonder why that has become such a troublesome jump for her.

I am guessing that a decent Liza at the final stage of Russian Cup will be sent to Boston or maybe even a Yulia with a good showing.
