Evgenia Medvedeva to train under Brian Orser

[Danibellerika]

I do understand. I believe she will be banned from coaching very soon.

No one is waiting for eteri to become a good mature responsible person. She is going to be banned from coaching soon and her students will be divided among other coaches.

On what grounds?

SUPER excited about this. I can't wait to see what Brian and David help her to become. We already know she's going to have better packaging, though.

However, her jump technique is going to have to be tweaked or changed, IMO, because she's barely scraping by with how she's jumping now, and we've seen how long that can take. Or maybe not, what the eff do I know. I'll trust Brian Orser to guide her in the right direction, because he's probably the best coach in the world right now, and has been for some time.

Well well well, maybe Eteri should retire from coaching, since she's Satan....
I'm far to be her fan, i am the first to make bad comments about her methods or students' programs, but there is a little exaggeration here. She almost seems like a criminal.

I think Orser could quickly improve her technique by scrapping some of the unnecessary tanos that are maybe making some of her jumps smaller.

The only jump that maybe need to be reworked is the axel.

It would be interesting to see if he's going to fix her edge on the lutz cause she said in the past she wants to do this.

None. This poster is notorious for making such assumptions. There is no way she would banned from coaching unless there's some sort criminal proceedings regarding the way she treats her students which I highly doubt.

I think Brian will be trying to get her jump technique and SS worked out. It will be a slow process. I just wonder if she's going to keep the same jump layout right now.

 

[Kelti]

I have to agree with it. When Zhenya is not under pressure or 'fit' (video1, video2) she seems to make -3T combos better (as well as control the edge and all her jumps are lighter). However her 3lo is one of the best in the field, even haters can't argue with it, so it was always mystery for me too...

So I see two main reasons why they never risk:
1) It's crazy inconsistent (which is still strange to me as if anyone can do new jump with the first try on official practice without preparation than I mean you can maybe at least try to put them into the program :cool14: especially if you can't repeat 3Lz....)

Or 2) They should have to try it during her 2d season, but it was against 'agenda', cuz RusFed needed to keep 3 places for Olympic season and the new that Anna P. and Masha S. are not stable....(but still even if they didn't try to change layout in WC, why would they not try new elements on World Team Trophy, it was nothing to lose there...It would be interesting to see what layout Alina has for next season; she said they would focus on consistency but who knows now....)

I wonder if this has to do with the backpain issue that we found out from Orser's interview with icenetwork. Perhaps that's why they didn't go for the -3lo combo because it might aggravate her back situation?

Yeah, reading gmyers posts is often like reading the headlines from a scandal sheet:

Eteri Tudberidze about to be Banned from Coaching!!! What will Become of Her Students?!?
Read all about it!

That's a bold statement. I have hard time seeing Russ Fed doing anything to her. Unless you're talking ISU.

To be honest, a lot of coaches(bosses) in any sport(jobs) are a-holes. Athletes just endure their coach because they like the sport more. Do you think you would be offended if Eteri was yelling that way at boys playing football or hockey?

Raf, said something in his interview regarding Medvedeva is that the hardest thing for her will be the cultural differences in coaching styles. She is probably going to have to change her off ice training and nutrition habits as well

Agree, and if ISU keep Morozov allowed to coach, there is no possibility Eteri will be banned

 

[yume]

Rusfed can't really afford a banned Eteri anyway.

 

[Dragonheart97]

Ok Eteri's bad coaching, Averbukhs crap programs, Dudakov's bad technic is a past. But what about that person that was making the dresses? Would she keep the collaboration , what do you think? This were good at least.

I have to wonder if her wanting to re-invent herself will even include her costumes, or if she'll stay with her personal taste. I loved her short program dress this year and how it looked like the Milky Way, which fit the theme of the program, but it will be interesting to see if her costume style changes with any skating style revamp that will happen.

 

[Osmond4gold]

Hey, I am still waiting for the ISU to band Didier Gailhaguet, not that 'IT' will ever happen. Eteri is not even on their radar.

Has there ever been a banned coach?

And how many banned skaters have been?

Maybe we should have a thread on the subject...

Really? Everything was wrong in Med's programs..But she won almost every competition with new record scores..LOL!

Dont know how true is, but I heard she does not eat too much, the BOrsers are known for having a balance diet, and Brian mention that his training methods are short but though, if she want to keep up she have to eat

Why they stop eating? dont you need enough protein and calories to be able to jump? never make sense to me

That's the magical ability of Eteri lol. Nah, just kidding. Sometimes the judges are weird, we all know that.

Yes!!! Just like the figure skating fans..

I don’t think it's humanly possible to skate those famous 10 runthrough per day without eating.

I don't follow all the skater's interview closely but this was what I remember reading about Zhenya and diet:

quoting from http://fs-gossips.com/evgenia-medvedeva-want-to-go-to-london-and-met-benedict-cumberbatch/

Another story from the interview: how you was eating pizza, and in the process of reading that you are kept on a starvation diet. Is it the strangest thing you’ve learned about yourself on the Internet?
Evgenia: Probably, yes. That Medvedeva is hold on some smoothies, starved and beaten, so she did not eat anything. And I read it with a piece of pizza or a mouth full of sushi. Funny, agree?

In general, harsh methods applied to you are not working?
Evgenia: I think it is not working at all now.

This is from quite sometime back so I'm not sure if the situation has changed since then? Was she forced on a much stricter diet after 2016 Boston because she was going through puberty?

Just saw this on Twitter, I think it was just posted. Some questions I've seen raised are answered here. Very good article. I don't see it linked here yet, apologies if so and I missed it.
