Thank you! I've been waiting for some news from her and missing her already

I remember Satoko is 40 kg and Yuko Kavaguchi 38 (her weight was alarming for coaches too) no way Zhenia weights the same, I believe she should be around 45

I'm 157cm, weight 43kg. We have similar body type but I'm sure she has more muscles than I have so she must weight more. I too believe she's around 45.

 

[atsumiri]

I'm 162cm 26y.o.. and weight 48kg. eat a lot and feel good and healthy. Don't have any issues.

I don't get why everyone is so concerned about her weight.... don't think she has any weight problem....

will it be in russian?

Oops, I forgot about this! It's live now with a different link:

It's in Russian, but you can always try asking something in English.

 

[Hannah555]

I was able to listen only to the second half.

So I can translate only few replies (maybe someone could translate all the conversation ) Apologies in advance for my English )))

- When asked about quad jump, she replied that she believes it's possible because women's body is capable of jumping quads. She tried with belay (I hope it's the exact word but I'm not sure) but didn't try it alone yet. She thinks that if she prepares her body and mindset to this jump she can do it

- She never had any big fights or misunderstandings with her coach Eteri. Her coach usually laughs, makes jokes or they all simply chat on different subjects during routine training and that's what helps Zhenya train.

- When asked who inspires her the most she chose Petrova/Tihonov in pair skating and Yuzuru Hanyu luv17

- She doesn't plan any surprises or additional jumps in her programs in Helsinki.

- She always listens to music to concentrate. She puts her headphones in her hotel room and she doesn't take them off until going on ice.

- The most important advise that she got in her life "Think more, do more".

- For girls: she always does her make-up and hair by herself before competitions and that's how she starts her competition routine.

- Her favorite ice cream flavor - orange sorbet

- She has never regretted in her life that she became figure skater. She has never felt interested in any other sport. Once when she was still a child she was so upset that she threw her skates/or skates bag on the floor and screamed that she will never come back but it was from anger and happened only once.

- Most favorite anime hero - Sakuya from Norn9

- She was asked if she could do pair dance with any men skater, who would she choose? She said that she already had a program once together with Misha Ge and she would be happy to dance with him again on ice.

- She doesn't work on quad sal right now.

- She and her team always try to choose music that they all like. They haven't decided on music for the next season yet.

- Her motto right now "If it's hard, get up and work harder"

- She's always takes care of her weight and if needed she doesn't eat any unhealthy food.

- Her favorite spin is I-spin.

- People don't usually recognize her outside.

- She doesn't feel worried about Worlds after she won in 2016. On the contrary, it's more exciting ))) She will be very happy to see all her friends from different countries. The scale of this competition is breathtaking. She's so interested in finally going there.

Her hair is always so perfect that I thought it was professional work

They were perfect in Spain. :luv17: And they have similar personality. Suddenly my imagination gave me a picture of Zhenya and Misha skating together to the k-pop

Thank you for your translation! It was so nice to hear from Evgenia. I can't wait to see her at Worlds

 

[atsumiri]

Thank you for your translation!!

I was also surprised by that. Maybe doing her make-up and hair is sort of stress relief for her.

In my dreams I see her skating with Yuzu )))) But her skating again with Misha is much more likely to happen :agree:

Nice performance from Eugenia in TAT anniversary here https://youtu.be/BhXEvxMBJEk

I really liked the camera positions through out video.

 

[atsumiri]

Evgenia Medvedeva: I can’t name a person in woman’s figure skating who inspires me

 

[breadstal]

Saying it this way is kind of meh lol But I think she did good not mentioning anyone since she's really in such a dominating position in ladies skating right now and if she will honestly keep it up to Olympics (it seems pretty likely so)...she won't be really asked about that again I was curious who she likes from ladies skaters so too bad for me and I really wish she would put it in other way (probably because I'm really biased to ladies lol).

TAT anniversary gala - high quality video

Can she please keep this program for Worlds gala ? :hap85:

vice versa for me
I really like that she doesn't have a person who inspires her from ladies skaters. It looks kind of badass.

In what way?

I have no particular preference either way but I like that she simply says the truth without fudging. She doesn't and that's that.

Polina has none at all, she was also asked once. Russian ladies are fierce

 

[breadstal]

In what way?

She was asked who inspires her in skating, not about woman who inspires her, she could just said it without it.

 

[narcissa]

If no one inspires her, then that's that. Inspiration is a very personal thing especially since there are skaters who inspire her, just not women.

 

[Yatagarasu]

She was asked who inspires her in skating, not about woman who inspires her, she could just said it without it.

Ah, I see. Well, I admit, I don't see a problem. She clarified due to her own skating I am sure, then went on. But YMMV and all! :agree2:

Your English is great and thanks so much for this!

Yes, I think so, I don't think she meant it in the way I read it, I just pointed it out, anyway


Does someone has any video of Evgenia's solo 3S? EDIT: I kinda wish she would do solo 3S in her program btw but it's always nice to see two 3-3 combos.
