Evgenia Medvedeva

I mean if they would have seeked help for her injuries sooner, adjusted her training, adjusted her scheduled competitions, etc. Maybe things could've been different. For example, maybe if they would've caught her back injury sooner, and adjusted her training to go easier on it, maybe she'd still be able to do a biellman today. This wasn't meant to be accusatory, I'm not saying I KNOW there was mismanagement, I'm just saying that it feels like things could've been different, and it's just painful to think about because I wish it was.

As for having hope, I don't really know. I do think she's on the right path, but I didn't necessarily mean that I think she's going to win the next Olympics. I just meant I think she's on the right path to be the best she can possibly be at this point in her career. Of course there will still be struggles, but we saw her get stronger and stronger both mentally and physically this season. There may be some setbacks this summer because she spent some time off because of another injury, BUT I truly believe she'll continue to get better mentally, physically, artistically, and as a person. And if we're talking about her chances going forward- if she can continue to build on the momentum she built up at the end of last season, I think there will be more chances for her to compete again at the World stage. It's not certain, I don't know how likely it is, but I do think it's possible! And even if it doesn't happen, I think Zhenya has grown a lot as a person and will accept her results with grace and just keep working, not only because she wants to win (she definitely does) but also just because she loves what she does. (Sorry for the long reply lol :) )

Fair points. I think she can be her best at this point in her career ss well. Hopefully that will mean metals and consistent metal convention but I think there's going to be a crowd at the top of maybe three or four skaters battling for medals at Grand Prix events.

Even though we love figure skating because of the beauty of the sport it's just such a tough sport. One of the toughest. Zhenya is a surivor.

Auto-translation:


"Diet. Week 4. Medvedeva refused meat-eating and feeds on flowers.

These are probably those that she did not give to Eteri Tutberidze.

Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedev shared in instagram stories with details of her food.

"Diet. Week four, ”the 19-year-old figure skater signed a video on which she eats flowers using sushi sticks. “How are the flowers?” A man’s voice asked behind the scenes. “It’s even edible,” said Zhenya.

[Graphics]

. After moving to Brian Orser, Medvedev became vegan.
. A new short program by Eugenia was put under the composition “Exogenesis: Symphony, Part 3” by the Muse group, and Ilya Averbukh acted as a choreographer.
. In the arbitrary, she will ride under the "Memoirs of a Geisha."

Figure skaters leave from Tutberidze and lose all. Only Medvedev is in the top."

[Disclaimer: Emphasis not mine - I tried to copy the article as it was written.]

Oh thats a good one. ;)
 
Imo I have every belief in Zhenya that she will continue to improve and come back even stronger next season. She has every chance of making it to the Olympics too.

I dug up my reaction to her winning a bronze at Worlds, sort of reminded me how you can never count her out whatever the odds:

How did she do that?! The only two people who beat her was an Olympic Champion (Alina) and a lady who landed the first ever quad jump in senior ladies history (Libet). She also defeated a strong Japanese field IN JAPAN without the aid of Russian judges, scoring personal seasons bests in all 3 categories and winning her first ISU level medal since Skate Canada last October, all this while she was injured. Not trying to go overboard but wow she's Wonder Woman. [emoji123] (lol)
 
You are absolutely right that her troubles with the flip date back to Worlds 2017. Do you remember her first outing in the Olympic season? For me, she seemed so stressed and scared. And it went like that to the very last competition of that particular season. I always thought that probably the pressure of knowing that Alina gains power was suddenly getting to Evgenia's mind but what if she knew that she was injured since the summer before that?

Also, this hunched over landings lead to a delay in her 3T after it, something she is still doing now. I am wondering if they are trying to fix this issue and it just doesn't seem to be that easy.

Funny thing is, her lutz jump seems very good on terms of height, axis and landing. It's very soft. The only trouble - the wrong edge. But if she does it with an inside edge, isn't it actually a flip? :biggrin: Maybe if she approaches her flip the way she approaches her lutz, it could improve? Idk

Also love her new EX.

I am so sad that filming is forbidden in FAOI. Unless Japanese TV filmed the show today for broadcast, we probably won't see the attempt.

Agree about the ex. It‘s beautiful and fits her so well. I haven‘t even had time to comment on it because then that 4S shock happened. But I definitely like it.

This makes me mad. Honestly, we can‘t just not see Zhenya‘s very first 4S attempt. Also, Brian must be sitting at home in Toronto, looking at Zhenya and Yuzu with their crazy 4S and 4F attempts like: help me what are my kids doing when‘s the next plane to Japan to stop them?!! :laugh:

I‘m still so confused, though as to when she‘d even have had the time to train it? Logically, she can‘t have. First there was Worlds and I doubt they were seriously practicing a quad in the lead-up, then the injury and her shows. When, Zhenya, when?? I don‘t believe she‘d just yolo a quad attempt, that would be way too dangerous. So, she must have attempted it before to try it here. I still can‘t believe it.

(Also, what exactly does the tweet say? Attempted, yes. But what does that mean? Did she fall? UR? Both??)
