Evgenia Medvedeva

She looks like Audrey Hepburn here 😭 I liked it, a lot. Solid very solid technical elements. Psst psst she has a better illusion spin now. Amazing!
 
To copy my post from The Test Skates Chat:

I was so skeptical about this program initially but I LOVE IT! It’s such a good look on her and it’s so sassy and mature!

On a side note: I love how she was so excited to hug Brian at the end of her program! It really shows that she’s become so comfortable around him!
 
Love the SP - she is going to BRING it this season! I can't wait to see this live at SCI!!!!
 
My thoughts on the new SP:

- She skates visibly faster and "smoother", doesn't need to push so much in order to gain speed
- the Lz was e, but the speed into it was bigger than before (she entered it without hesitating) and also the axis and the landing were better, I assume they are already working on it
- the axel is slightly bigger, I think she's still insecure about it but still approached it faster than usual and nailed the landing
- I don't know about the spins. If they are split into 3x2 positions, does she get a level 4?
- I liked the steps and the choreography very much. Some of you might remember that I was very sceptical about the music choice but she proved me wrong. It fits her perfectly. She's showing her raw performing talent, it feels real and not as if someone has told her to act like that.
- love those golden blades and the hair! Maybe that's her new combat hairstyle :yahoo:
 
I am in LOVE with this program! 2A is much improved, her tanos are straighter and the combo quicker, she got faster too... and it's only September!
 
"Medvedeva got her axel fixed - a miracle in 2 months; skates really good, best canadian style, works with her knees, 3Lze,2A,3F+3T" from Vaitsekhovskaya's blog

Here's the SP from test skates!

Woah! Imagine my surprise when I woke up and came to check the thread and saw what I slept through!

I love the short program, and especially that Zhenya finally gets to skate to something happy in her senior career :) She looks really good!

I took a quick look at the 3lz, and it's still definitely inside edge, but guys, her pick was only with the toe instead of most of the blade! And her prerotation seemed to me like about 120-150 degrees! I'm really excited about this, and although I'll have to go look at old videos to make proper comparisons, but I'm just... really happy... because her 3lz looks good...
 
I'm really loving this program! The step sequence is so fun and she's really enjoying herself.
 
A lot less transitions than she used to have and it lets her choreo breathe, if that makes sense! (i suck at describing things in english:slink:)
 
Sorry for posting 3x in such a short time haha but the illusion entry into camel spin - has she done that before? It looks really cool I think.
 
2a is the same, don't see that she's faster or 'smoother'.
I love the new hairstyle and the blades are shining! :D

It's a program with breathing room, yeah. Zhenya has the artistry and musicality to make simpler movements between elements interesting, though. So it's just less cramped, but still as or more enjoyable to watch :)
