That sounds like a quote for the history books.

Evgenia Medvedeva
- Thread starter Totentanz
- Start date
I'm currently watching some live YouTube video of the Nebelhorn Trophy and gosh the live chat is toxic. I don't get why they have to talk trash about Evgeniajust because they prefer Alina. These girls don't deserve such animosity.
Most of the haters and some of the worst seem to come from Russia. Most people outside of Russia seem to really like her.

Nah I learnt that reading live chat is mistake and I decided to stop doing it long time ago.
I prefer to concentrate on positive things. Like watching Evgenia's sp again. You can see by YT comments under the song that Zhenya promoted it really well :agree:

Don't ever read live chats... I'm glad they disabled them for the JGP, because they were absolutely disgusting. Should disable these ones as well.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. In summer, when I didn‘t know the song and wanted to check it out on Youtube there suddenly were all kinds of comments like “Who‘s here because of Zhenya?“ or “OMG Zhenya‘s music!!“ and I was like... wow. Maybe she should take money for making the song so popular. But she‘d never do that of course, as humble as she is!

Music producers should stand in the line offering her their creations so she would make them more popular
Also I started wondering if she is going to keep Windmills as her her or if we will see something new this season

Zhenya is Russian, therefore not part of the four continents that are competing there. She will go to the European Champions.
I think it has a lot to do with how before/after Olympics Russian public treated Zhenya and Alina. I bet Alina's hard-core fans are bitter... still bitter haha

When bitterness is mentioned, than I would like to disscuss what was said by particular "very positive" 
non-russian fans about one particular skater last week after some airport matter. But I would receive some warning again that I'm not positive and that this is positive (or even the most positive) thread here

ohh, I'm sorry if what I said is against the rules, I'm pretty new to the forum and it was just my pure observation, as I have a couple of friends from Russia and they were very vocal about how mainstream media there presented Alina and Zhenya before/after the Games

You could watch the official stream on Dailymotion where there is no chat (or just hide it on YT). The whole reason why they set it up on Youtube is exactly so they can carry on their toxic chat there. Disregard those losers and do not give them attention.

I know it’s been discussed that Evgenia’s layout for the SP and FS will probably change and continue to evolve as the season progresses. There are many variables, of course, particularly on Evgenia’s part considering the circumstances. But boy is there a wide gap in terms of base value of her programs v her competitions (particularly her closest competitors). I can’t wait to see her in her top form (I know this might happen for a bit since the plan is more long term than anything).
I know the next couple of years are re-building years for Zhenya, but I just hope She does well enough to make the Russian team. The Russian skating federation might pull her funding for training with Brian & Tracy if the results aren’t there. Fingers crossed.

Very, very true. Evgenia does not have the time horizon that others have, unfortunately. She has to deliver in order to receive continued support (i.e., funding).
I know that we aren't supposed to write about other skaters but I want to remind you guys about the existence of Anna Tarusina.
When she had that terrible car accident 2 years ago I legit thought she was completely done: she had major injuries, got surgery. Definitely not something to recover from fast not to mention starting training again. Also it happened when Russian ladies' junior field became extremely competitive and JrRusNats had higher level than Junior Worlds. Yet she recovered and even got herself a JGP placement.
People are afraid of Alexandra, Anna and Alena switching to seniors but future is always uncertain. After 2016 Europeans Anna Pogorilaya was said to be part of Russian Team to Olympics almost for sure. In the end it sadly didn't happen.
All we can do is to wait and support Zhenya. Also we should remember Philip's words (sometimes he says smart things)

Question though. There are other Russian Seniors who I have never heard of who compete and have Grand Prix assignments. They don't make the top 3 in major competitions, at least not that I am aware of. So if they are still supported by the Russian Fed why wouldn't Zhenya? Is it because they are probably spending more on Zhenya because she is coached abroad (there is a more of a risk of pulling the funding if there are not the results they want)?
Coaching abroad is more expensive I believe. Besides RusFeds would pull the logic "You did better under Russian coach so come back to Russia"

Do we even know how much the Rusfed are paying? She has sponsors like Pantene.
