Evgenia Medvedeva

Awwwww that hug!

Thank you, Yuzuru, for giving us some Zhenya content!

 

[Watch]

I hoped for some glimpses of her! That's so nice to see. And I'll never stop being amazed by the level of media buzz surrounding Yuzuru in particular and figure skating in general in Japan.

It‘s still so surreal to see her training at TCC next to Yuzu. But all these pictures make me so hyped for the new season and test skates.

As if off-season wasn't making people desperate enough, here's blurry Evgenia with blurry Brian!

Wow how do you guys keep track of such moments. Can't believe the eagle eyes in this thread [emoji23]

You guys are all too funny. Posting tons of photos and vids going "Zhenya is in the background!" like she is photo-bombing Yuzu and the others or something.

Like dogs at the dinner table, staring at the food and pouncing on any fallen crumbs.
It'll be like this until she lets us clean the test skate plate in 9 more days (but who's counting).
Oh, come ON ACI and SCI! We want to see the new Zhenya in all her glory; stop making us wait! :gaah: :hap85:

Google translate isn’t great here but it’s all praise for Zhenya and her unique coaching situation from someone called Trankov?

- From her I'm waiting for something new in connection with leaving for Brian Orser. Everyone is waiting and thinking: "What will she show?" I really want her to ride like a Canadian figure skater. First of all in skating. If Zhenya adds and begins to jump like Medvedev, and ride like a Canadian school teaches, it will be a bomb. And I really want Zhenya to reach a new level. In general, this is a unique case where the two best coaches of solo skating today - Tutberidze and Orser - have trained or trained the same athlete. For Zhenya, I think this is a lucky ticket. And, working next to Auxerre, she may become an incredible specialist in the future

Cracking up over, "it will be a bomb"! But Yes I totally agree! She said in a documentary that she wanted to be a coach and/or choreographer after skating. How amazing to be trained under the Russian and Canadian schools of skating.

Looks like she is doing figures

 

[TGee]

Looks like she is doing figures

Called skills in Canada...but yes many of the old compulsory figures are part of the set, as well as spirals, stroking and skating skills.

Tracy would be Zhenya's lead coach for these. Going back to Toller Cranston, the TCC philosophy is that Skills are fundamental for all technical excellence in freeskate.

Skills is one of the three categories that skaters in Canada have to pass tests in to progress and be able to compete. Dance and Freeskate are the other two.

But perfecting skills is an ongoing effort at even the highest level.

Sounds like the equivalent of Moves in the Field (in the US). I did figures when I skated which was a long time ago .

But some Eteri girls like Alena Kostornaia already have amazing skills. I see alot of Russian Jr girls who have great skating skills nowadays.
