Evgenia Medvedeva

Honestly, if all of the Russians are banned then there is no point in watching the Olympics. I personally watch it just to see Zhenya, so if she is not there, one less person is watching the Olympics.
 
Misha Ge talks about friendship with Zhenya and Yuzuru:

This is so pure !
It is so difficult to be an elite athlete and have friends, because despite friendship, they are also rivals (Janny and all her team ). I'm glad that Evgenia has found friends on the ice.She is always so friendly and smiling (:


I hope Misha and Janny work on some choreography together, something more pop and happy.
 
I decided to translate Misha's interview. Hope it helped ;)
-Judging from the banquet photos it seems like you became really close with Evgenia Medvedeva and Yuzuru Hanyu…
-Yes, that’s right. We are really good friends. We have common interests, topics for conversations and jokes. We are all a little bit Asian and have similar characters. Sometimes we understand each other without words. Someone even told us that we are as Ron and Hermione from “Harry Potter”. Probably it is like that but in skating format.
-And also Winnie the Pooh, Sailor Moon and Stitch?
-Well, yeah. Figure skaters have their own talismans. The first one to appear was Pooh, as we sometimes jokingly say, a representative of Moon planet Yuzuru Hanyu. Then other characters appeared and Stitch is one of my cartoon characters. I like him and he resembles me. He once said: “To be unordinary is a norm”. By the way, my fans give me soft Stitches as presents. Of course in can’t be compared to the huge number of presents for Hanyu but it’s enough for me.
-There is an opinion that Yuzuru Hanyu and Evgenia Medvedeva are from cosmos – super talented and hard working. Can you feel it when you talk with them?
-When the three of us talk, we don’t really think about it. But both of them are very talented sportsmen, whom I respect a lot and from whom I learn. I always support them and wish them success, victories and, of course, health.
- Did you suggest to Zhenya to make a program for her or to create a new concept?
- We talked about it several years ago. Unfortunately, due to our busy schedule and ice skating shows it didn’t work out. However, it doesn’t mean that in the future we won’t have a chance to work together.
 
So excited for NHK next week! I cant wait to see her programs again. Her FS has really grown on me. I hope she keeps her black costume. Its gorgeous.
