Evgenia Medvedeva

It's been super nice to see all of these kids at TCC being so excited to meet Evgenia, it really shows how she's kind of an icon in the sport and such an inspiration. We didn't get to see this that much when she was in Russia
 
Zhenya is such an inspiration not only for figure skaters but in general. Her strong mindset, work ethics and absolute self awareness are amazing especially if we take her age into consideration. It's what I love about her: she never complains and never tries to look for excuses. If something went wrong it was just an extra motivation for her to work harder without blaming the rest of universe.

And about Queen Victoria blades: I can actually imagine Zhenya wearing them in her Vogue outfit doing program to some heavy metal music :laugh:


I tried.
 
I think I heard screams from the north end of town, which means Evgenia and Jason probably heard that the info on the new YOI movie will be dropping on Sunday morning, Toronto time (unless she decides to fly out to Japan before Sunday, then it will be evening for her). Heck, Sayo and Kubo are such huge skating fans, they would be thrilled to have her watch the preceding concert in Osaka in person. But if her schedule doesn't permit such a detour, then she can watch it anywhere online, since they know they have a global fanbase.
 
Most people seem to think she will do NHK and Canada or France. She's unlikely to do Rostelecom, and/or face Alina before the final.

Interesting! Zhenya maybe going to Skate Canada would help her since it’s close to her training base. She’s loves Japan so that could be a good fit. Yeah I can’t imagine the Russian fed are going to pit those two against each other until the GP final. Will she be interested in competing at the Cup of China/Korea to try and complete her GP gold medal collection? Looking forward to seeing where she’ll be placed!
 
Trankov about Zhenya:

Recently, the most discussed topic in your sport is Evgeny Medvedev's departure from coach Eteri Tutberidze and moving to Canada. Why did people attack her?

- Because for many years people had before their eyes an ideal picture of Eteri Georgievna's relations with Zhenya Medvedeva, their work result. But any athlete wants to develop after the result, then you have to make some decisions. Sometimes they are associated with the change of coach.

If Zhenya loses, then she will lose this duel with the fans. But as soon as Zhenya wins another world championship or Europe, she will be loved again. Criticism will end after the first big victory.

We, athletes, are used to the fact that the Russian fan is evil and demanding. That's why we treat him with respect, but we try not to react to provocations, "said Trankov.

I'd say it's rather "quick-tempered and demanding" rather than "evil and demanding"

Well Trankov in the article said it was evil and demanding, and the comments under the article confirm this. very angry and offended comments, as always.

Many people in Russia supported her move to Orser. So it´s wrong from Trankov to draw this picture about the russian fans as a whole.

Also regardless what result she will achieve this season, Zhenya fans in Russia will stand behind her. At least that is telling me vk and the fso-forum (with the help from google-translate).

Alina said she would like to do NHK and Rostelecom, but she probably wouldn't get Rostelecom in some interview. Which sounds like Zhenya may get it instead. Then she were probably get the mystery 3rd GP to go with it.
