Thank you, Sorrento. It's interesting that most athletes have the background story of being put into sports because they were too energetic as kids. I wish interviews like these can reach more people outside the skating fan community. Anna is not only beautiful but she also has the grace and thoughtfulness to boost.
You're welcome! She has a beautiful calm and self-aware personality. I loved her interview. She could be a great role model for young athletes.

From Medvedeva's fan fest:
Here’s the Moskovskiy Komsomolets interview.

Pogorilaya:
MK: Anna, are you tired with all these interviews you had after Euros?
AP: no, its nice to be called up for an interview, I don’t get tired at all.
MK: FS is a mix of sport and art, what’s more important to you?
AP: expressing myself is more important, the sport aspect is secondary.
MK: if you have a choice would it be to express yourself fully in a beautiful program or win gold at EC/WC, what would it be?
AP: well I’m most expressive in the gala but in a competitive program it’s difficult to combine that with jumps. You could fail quite hard if you lose yourself, or crash into the boards.
MK: how do you fell to be a part of such a strong, competitive group? Does it motivate you or make you nervous?
AP: it gives you tonus and keeps you on your toes.
MK: given your looks, did you get modeling offers?
AP: no I haven’s unfortunately. Everything will come in time.
MK: maybe they’re just shy to approach you?
AP: no, I don’t think that’s the reason.
MK: you and Medvedeva represent “Sambo-70”, how much does it help/distract for the club to have so many different types of sports.
AP: its nice to be in a club with all these different sports, so yes, it helps.
Medvedeva:
MK: (analogous sport/art question)
EM: when you enter the ice, your goal is to unload both physically and emotionally to the maximum. You don’t think “oh, I have so many strong competitors, I’m expected to get gold”. You just think about executing your elements well and fully expressing yourself.
MK: are you thinking about 2018 OG or just the upcoming competition.
EM: I just prepare for the upcoming competition both physically and mentally.
MK: is a world podium spot guaranteed?
EM: nothing is guaranteed. Clean programs is what’s important.
MK: (analogous internal competition Q)
EM: any competition motivates you for further labor and gives you additional stimulus to learn something new.
MK: (analogous Sambo-70 Q)
EM: it helps, its a huge school, a lot of support, it was very nice when guys from Sambo met us at the airport [after EC] with flags [of Russia] and gifts
MK: does prep. for worlds interfere with prep. For school exams?
EM: I work with a tutor very often. School and sport are different spheres and they interfere with each other.

From Jackie Wong's recent pre-SP practice notes:
Pogorilaya: 3Lz, 3Lz3T, 3Lz3T, 3Lz3T, SP runthru (3Lz3T, 3Lo, 2A), 2Lz, 3Lz
Jackie Wong @rockerskating · 40m40 minutes ago
For someone who has a true outside lutz, Pogorilaya really picks in wide - thank goodness no Pogofalls(TM) yet #Worlds2016
Good luck, Anna! - Skate clean!
