Evgenia Medvedeva

- I'm eager to perform, because I really do not want to sit on the couch and watch how the whole fight will go without me, - said Medvedev. "I will do everything in my power to get better soon."
- What do doctors tell you?
- They say I'm on the mend. And if I make every effort to rehabilitate, everything will be all right soon.
- As my mom said, this is not the first injury in your career?
- Yes, I had two serious injuries, after which I had to actually start everything from the beginning. I agree with my mother that in the end, these injuries made me stronger.

That's the spirit :)
 
My poor baby bear!! :sad21:

I hope she recover soon. She need rest and be in calm.She is so strong and stubborn, I understand that she wants to participate at all costs, because she doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to go to the Olympics. It's such a stressful situation. But, Janny, health comes first!I hope that she recovers, that she arrives healthy to the Europeans, to the Olympics, the World Cup and that she wins, because she deserves it.


I admire this girl a lot, she tries to laugh, to be eloquent. I want her to rest, and to recover fully even if she can not attend the Final.


We love you, Zhenya!!!!:luv17::pray:
 
Worried for her Gold Medal at the Olympics chance with the scoring of Zigitova. ... i didn't see this day coming.

Seems like this girl has started training again. Whether she WD or not would be last minute announcement.
Seriously, girl, take a break...

I'm worried about her... I know that her team makes a decision and the last thing she wants is to skip the GPF but isn't it to risky to participate? I pray that they'll make the right choice for her health. :pray:
 
The returning to the ice decision seems like a poor idea... Look what pushing too hard on an injury did to Anna P, articles say she cannot even skate right now because she pushed herself to train and compete with an injury too much. If Zhenya has cracks in her bones, she's taking a real risk here by trying to jump. Although her team has probably been over all of this with her, I can't help but worry... She has been working for too hard for too long to let her olympic medal slip away by aggravating an injury without need. The last thing I want to see is a headline where she ends up with full break in her foot and isn't able to recover before the Olympics.

Please Zhenya, rest!!

I don’t think I’ll be able to watch GPF live if she decides to compete. I’ll be too nervous and worried :(

Same here. She was in a cast yesterday, I hope she hasn't just started jumping today, that would be an awful idea. Way too risky imo.
 
Just came back and saw the news. The poor thing. :no: I agree that she should skip the GPF and make a full recovery. I can't imagine the Olympics without Evgenia. :cry:
 
Whaaaaaat? Back on the ice after only two weeks in a cast?!? I hope she is only skating around to keep her conditioning up, and no jumps. Maybe not even spins.

Her competitive mindset is her best trait, and also her worst enemy it seems!

I think I will have to watch the GPF after the results have already been posted, as I too will be too nervous to watch comfortably.

Mao Asada talks about yuzuru hanyu and medvedeva

google translation:
Mao Asada of figure skating former world champion Mao Asada (27) said on Tuesday that Hanyu Yuri (22 = ANA) who hurt the right ankle ligament (22 = ANA) and Medvedeva (18 = Russia) with the right foot metatarsal fracture I sent a warm ale to two candidates for the Chang Olympic gold medal.

On this day, I participated with my sister Mai (29) at the run event promoting premium Friday which was held at Hibiya Park and Imperial Gaien. We responded to the interview after running around the Imperial Palace lightly about 6.5 kilometers.

"Both Yuzuru and Medvedega have been young so far, I think they did not have any injuries even if they practiced with a gut, but injury increases as the age goes up. Do not push yourself now, wake up If it were you, I would like you to be completely cured towards the Olympic games that would be all-Japan, Medvedeva-chan, and that the Olympic Games will be in perfect condition. "

Mao also faced repeated injuries such as waist and knee until the end of active work. Based on that experience, I asked for the resurrection of two people with a gentle word of "Do not push yourself now." Mai also said that "They must be treasure figures in the figure skating world, I am looking forward to returning."
 
I don't think she needs to go to the finals. She doesn't have to prove anything at this point. Instead, focus on the nationals and olympics.

Can someone translate this article pls? Thank you so much ^^

Chrome autotranslate seems pretty decent:

. Yu - Yuzuru

. E - Evgenia
- Do you have moments of desperation?

Yu: There. When jumps fail, I lose my will. Very strongly I think - everything, I do not want to do it anymore.

- And throw?

Yu: But I do not quit. I think the moment when I thought "I want to quit on this" for the starting point. Thinking "I want to quit," "Everything, I can not any more," I feel like, "But if after I do everything without making mistakes, will it be cool?" And with this feeling I do.

Evgenia: When the work does not work, it becomes insulting. But I'm not the kind of person who despairs and throws skates, shouting: "I'm leaving." When something is not glued to me, I'm madly angry, I never give up, I work and do it all to spite.



Yu: I had periods when I did not know what to do to grow further.

- At such times, do you seek advice from others? Or do you think about it yourself?

Yu: In the end, I break myself [this stagnation] myself. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I set a high goal. I am striving for such a high goal that I do not know whether I can catch at least with my fingertips, whether I can grab hold of it, even jumping. I tried to follow such goals.
E: I never worked with psychologists, I always try to get myself started. "Cockroaches" in the head are needed, they are disciplined, because there is confidence that you will go and everything will be done calmly. But this does not happen, so you need to concentrate very much and keep yourself in shape. The surplus of these "cockroaches" also leads to sad consequences, because they begin to eat you from the inside.

Yu: I think if you are afraid of something, then you feel that you are trying to achieve something complicated. Feeling means that you have courage. If you do your best, then you will find in yourself the courage that struggles with a sense of fear.

t

Yu: As a child, I hated training. They were mostly monotonous. In addition, when I went to primary school, there were no more boys in figure skating. They all went to baseball or football. My father played baseball, so I often thought about baseball and always said that I want to quit skiing.

When I told my parents: "I want to stop skating," they calmly replied: "Okay, you do not have to skate, it's good to play baseball." This was not sarcasm, but I hated to lose, but because I did not refuse. My parents never forced me to do things that I did not like. On the contrary, they respected my feelings, whether I liked it or not, whether I wanted to do it or not. I think this was the best support. I did not leave, because I always heard such words from them. Probably it's because I really liked to skate.

Of course, if I did not have daily support from my parents, I would not be able to continue. My mother brought me and took me almost every day, and when the skating rink next door was closed and I had to travel far, my father drove and brought me. My mother sewed me costumes from the first competition and until the first year in adults. She did not learn to sew clothes, but she used patterns to make them. At that time, I was tormented when she made me sit still, to sweep the pieces off with temporary stitches, but now, when I think about it, I understand how much support she gave me. Therefore, although there is a figure skater Yuzuru Khanu as an independent person, there is also "Yuzuru, born in the Khanyu family," and I want to continue to cherish it.

- Why did you continue to study?

Yu: Probably because I was attracted to the opportunity to do things on the ice that are unusual for everyday life. This is something extraordinary - speed is faster than walking, you can perform jumps and rotations - elements that are unthinkable on the ground. I became obsessed with it, and mainly because it is all difficult to accomplish .

In addition, I really wanted to catch up with my older sister. This is my character - I do not like to lose (laughs). And from the earliest years I had ambition - in anything I wanted to improve. Since that time, I have told my mother: "I will participate in the Olympic Games twice and take gold twice!". Mom was a little shocked and asked: "Why are you so sure?" I'm from the type of people who like to play the main roles in school productions. That's why I hated training, but I liked competitions when everyone was looking at me. When the whole rink is at my disposal, and a sense of tension, when all eyes are fixed on me - I really liked it.

u

- And how did the three-year-old Zhenya realize that she dreamed of riding?

Evgenia: It was just a childish "I want", completely unconscious. What can a child really want in three years? Sweets, cartoons.

Jeanne (Mom Zhenya): - It is now difficult to say, but probably for the first time Zhenya saw figure skating on TV. Well, yes, but where else? And then we somehow got on Khodynka. Whether on show, or on the show. But there was a concert light with a beam. And everything, Zhenya caught fire: "I want this way! I'm alone, a ray of me, and all in sparkles! ". She wanted to be like a princess: "I will have skates, my dress is beautiful."

Evgenia: The most vivid memory from childhood, probably, as I and the trainer learned the top. This is an element, not the most complicated, usual rotation on a bent leg. But for some reason I did not manage to fulfill it for some time. And the girl, who was much younger, did everything on her first attempt. I was very upset. [I was upset and did not calm down until I learned to make the element better in the group] It's addictive. I want to learn one element, then another, to jump like no other can. Prove yourself and show everyone around what you are capable of.

When I moved to Eteri Georgievna's group, the first training revealed that I really can not do anything. Incorrectly do axel, Salhov. I learned everything from the beginning. But I even liked it. Eteri Georgievna helped to understand that figure skating is seriously and for a long time.

I was asked many times, do not regret that I chose this path? People think that I did not have a childhood either. This is not true. Childhood was. And girlfriends, and sandbox, and games. All was in time. But I'm glad that I plunged into the sport.


- Recently you are leading the life of a real star. Does it annoy you?

Evgenia: I do not feel any pressure. I like people's attention. When you go out on the ice and realize that several thousand people are watching you, you have special feelings. I want to thank them, please. Such attention is not at all stressful.

- You first scored more than three hundred points (322.40). It was perceived as something alien.

Yu: I myself was very surprised at the result then - I did not even know how to comment it. On the other hand, it was not the 2018 Olympic Games. Although I fully admit that I will not finish my career after speaking in Korea. As for the result, I can not say that all my steps and rotations turned out to be flawless in Japan. So I will try to improve this result.

Today's competition is today's competition. At the moment, regardless of these competitions, I will train hard and try to do without injuries.

- Did you think about the maximum points? Tried to count them?

Yu: I did not even think.

- But in my opinion this performance (PP at FGP 2015) deserved maximum points. You yourself as you estimate?

Yu: Well, I have level 3 of the track again, I have to work on it, and I have to work on English.

- You managed to get closer to what in your understanding should be the champion?

Yu: Not at all. Even though I have surpassed other skaters in points, I still do not have champion pride and confidence. I just skated cleanly at two tournaments.

- You succeed. Excellent rental, record results. What is the next goal?

Yu: I think I can skate even better. This primarily concerns the quality of the footpath and the second quadruple sheepskin coat. If we talk about the future, I would like to ride like nobody else can. And so that my skating would learn everything.

Yu: My performance was not perfect, despite the fact that I thought I could do it right. Of course, some aspects have become better. But, despite zealous training and self-confidence, I was able to skate only so?

About the CP at the 2016 World Cup

Yu: Honestly, now I'm very happy, more than after speaking at the NHK Trophy or in the Grand Prix final. But at the same time, I can not say that the program turned out to be complete in terms of quality and speed of the quadruple toe loop, the third level on the path of steps.


UCM 2014

Evgenia: I do not consider the rental of a short program 100%. It could be better. For example, a cascade, where I could add on the rollout. And I squeezed a little, because I did not want to take any chances.

Evgenia: I need to pull up the stepper - the tracks and "transitive". Rivals in the finals will not be weak at all, you need to improve the overall level of skating.

FGP 2014

Evgenia: The rental was not exactly perfect. Because I made a mistake, or rather a little pomarochku. Not on that jump did the cascade. Although the main thing that did. I had such a first time, and I decided to change it quickly.

I estimate my arbitrary program for "four". Because there were better rentals, and you need to strive even better to ride. But all is well that ends well. Now we need to work on stability. Although it seems to me that in components I'm a bit behind.

About net hire in the Czech Republic 2015

Evgenia: I do not think about records. I talked about this already in Barcelona. To me, the main thing is to skate cleanly, to show everything I can do. Today everything was successful. Worse than in the Grand Prix final in Barcelona, ​​but overall I'm happy. Here I skated a bit stiffly, and the cascade was not so wide .

Evgenia: My performance was really good, but I can add in the speed of rotation and present my program even better.

Evgenia: In an arbitrary failed to show its maximum, did not quite what I can and can. Before the next start in France, I have a week left, it's not so much time. Means, I will work harder so that mistakes made are not repeated.

g

Evgenia: I think I can improve my score for the components, because it is not enough for adult skating. I need to work more on this.

Evgenia I'm very glad that I was selected for the Grand Prix final, for me it's another step upstairs. But as for today's rental of an arbitrary program, I'm absolutely unhappy with them. It's not like skating, which I have to show.

Evgenia: The task was just to make your maximum. Before the double axel, I did it. The most offensive, when from the last jumping element after pure hire you fall or kosyachish on it. Brains can not be turned off because! Gave yourself a slack, you can not do this. It can be said, was distracted, if more accessible language.

- Is it possible at the expense of something to add?

Evgenia: I think I could go a little better on GOE, and not allow small blots, as I did now. But in general, I'm very happy with the rental, I will work to ride even better.

r

- You so imperturbably grasped it, this world in another dimension.

Yu: For me, not another dimension. Still, this is not another dimension. This is reality.

- In recent years, you are a clear leader of women's skating. What is it like when many people think that it's useless to fight with you?

Evgenia: My method is just to abstract from this. Remember that I have parents, a sports team and in the work process there are only them. I also have a large army of fans and fans who support and believe in me.

- We are used to the fact that you are winning, but you can not get used to such an athlete. How do you force yourself not to admit that you are the best?

Evgenia: In this regard, it is very important to love one's business and try to improve all the time, invent new things. It's not that I'm going to win now, and everything, I'm sick of it. It is important to put your soul into what you are doing, and, probably, not to look at others, but to work on yourself.

- "Yes, it's getting a little better" or "A little bit wrong, okay," do not you think so?

Yu: I do not think so. Each competition is only once in a lifetime. It has a little less than three minutes [CP] and a little less than five minutes [PP], and in these two intervals the set number of jumps is usually ... Ten ... How many are there? Eight plus three - only eleven jumps. And these eleven jumps, for them we spend decades of our figurine-riding life. So the sensations, like "I did it! I'm getting better! Hurray !!! "usually does not happen. Not so simple.

About the NHK Trophy 2014 hire, two weeks after that famous clash.

Yu: I know that people will think that I did badly only because of injuries, but it's not true. The tournament in Japan just showed at what stage of preparation I am now. This tournament made me realize how weak psychologically I can be. On the warm-up and before the short, and before the free program, I was fine, I just could not show myself during the competition.

I think that I made the right decision by speaking at NHK Trophy. I managed to roll out the programs to the end. Yes, I made mistakes, but mistakes do not mean that you degrade. I just realized that while I'm not psychologically ready to interpret on the ice the physical form that I scored.

- Can we say that the injury affected the mistakes?

Evgenia: I would not answer this question.

- There were no thoughts: Well, why right now, this season, there was a trauma?

Evgenia I did not think so. It happens, and not only with me ... Why now, why at this moment? ... Well, I'm such a person that if there are any difficulties, I try not to make a tragedy out of it, but, on the contrary, I try to concentrate as much as possible on one or another problem and try to solve it quickly.

Yu: Getting hurt means that I'm not good enough in some things. I'm not just talking about quad lutz.

t

- Perhaps, while there is such a small respite, even on such a sad occasion, is it possible to rest, meet friends or get out to the theater?

Evgenia: I do not want to give myself any indulgence or time for rest, because now is the most inappropriate time for rest.

Yu: "If I had a rest, I was cured" - this can not be said.

6th

Evgenia: The secret is that I like what I do. I like to overcome myself every day in training. It's like in a song: if you suffer for a long time, something will come out. For me, the world record is a plus to one's self-confidence and the realization that another step has been taken. I do not take it as pressure. And this is good.

The pleasure is not the work itself in figure skating, but its result. When you understand why you go to the ice every day, you get motivation and desire to do your job even more stubbornly, and full satisfaction comes with the achievement of the goal.

- If you could afford to spend a month without coming to the rink, what would you do?

Yu: Never thought about it. I suspect that I would get bored very quickly, although in addition to figure skating I still study at the university. I like to skate, I like to achieve results, so I'm not at all sure that I would agree to a month of rest.

Yu: I experience joy every day. I am glad that everyone supports me, I am glad that, like today, I can find my words and tell like that. Being able to talk about myself gives me the opportunity to look back on my life. I am very glad for this.

You know, a person is more prone to negative feelings. Fatigue or drowsiness, if there is some negative feeling, then it easily grabs you. Therefore, I believe that it is important to find a lot of small joys.

Yu: The more new problems - the more it captures and motivates me. It is probably difficult to do, but I think that I need to challenge myself to overcome the obstacle. This is the wall that I created, so I myself would like to go through this wall.

e

And on this I will finish 1 part.

- Why did not you take a break [after the Olympics, like many]?

Yu: "Because I'm an acting figure skater, that's all I do.

I continue to figure skating because of the love of this sport. "

Zhenya: "It would be very difficult for me to watch from the side... but I very much hope that this will not happen. For myself, I decided I will perform in the Grand Prix Final no matter what." She is such a fighter.

The thing is it’s really difficult for her. If she WD, Zagitova will have better momentum and eventually might win Olympic over her. So competing at GPF has its reason. She can hail Zagitova’s momentum.
But the bad side is... what if her injury got worse or she couldn’t heal fast enough.

Another draw back is her BV is quite lower than Zagitova. Even lower than Mihara. She should have upgraded her BV last season. Now it’s a bit too late as her condition might not allow that.
