Evgenia Medvedeva

Omg!! I just remembered Elizabet Tursynbaeva. She trains under BOrser. She speaks russian, and she even trained under Eteri for a year. Zhenya might already have a friend :) this makes me so happy.

He also trains a boy named Gogolev who I think has a Russian backround.

About Zhenya´s skating skills and jumps

Interview with Sambo 70 manager.

What does the second one say? And also, who was the one interviewed in the first one? Because I really like what he/she said about Evgenia. Haters tend to state that she‘s like the worst technician possible, that her jumps are all ugly and she somehow won all those medals by cheating. It‘s not like she‘s perfect either, she does have some evident flaws but well, who doesn‘t. Like the person said, close to no lady in the senior field actually does all jumps perfectly and without issues. That‘s simply not possible. So, in conclusion, it‘s a nice interview. Very realistic, very on point. Where did you find it? :)

Well...
Perhaps the french translation from Google makes it even worse, but I understand from that translation that the journalist thinks we won't see Zhenya in competition before 2019, and only if she comes back to Russia... Even if she's going abroad, she seems incredibly motivated and the last time we saw her in competition, she scored 238 points with a broken foot (and a back injury?), so it may be a little early to call her out like that :scratch2:
Apart from that, I also disagree about what he says about the juniors coming to the seniors, but actually nobody knows for now :biggrin:

So they'll pay at least a part of the fees, that's great :thumbsup: And it also means that they won't stop supporting her because of her departure.

Its just sad reading the comments after the articles and how many posters write negative things about Zhenya like she changed her citizenship or something. Some Russian athletes have trained abroad for decades. Zhenya is doing that now too. It should be okay.

I found it on twitter:). Yes, i also like what he said. Muscle training should be one of zhenya´s priorities in Canada.

- But there is still talk about a break with the coach. There is a difference?
"It's all the same." Here I, conditionally, 11 years of training with one coach, and I want to try something different - but what if it's better there? Until you yourself are faced with difficulties and mistakes, you will never understand this.
- How do you assess the circumstances under which Medvedev withdrew from his coach?
- Here you focus only on figure skating, and I have transitions occur every day, I have 24 kinds of sports in school. One goes to another, another to the third. This is a normal world practice. But, apparently, the people's love for Medvedev and the popularity of the sport caused increased interest.

-Why did it all begin in the situation with Medvedeva?
"What does it matter now?" The main thing is to preserve this workshop, especially since my relationship as administrator, with Tutberidze, and with Medvedeva, they are normal, kind. And I try to save both of them, so that no one specifically warmed up their conflict. Because today's modern sport is a colossal competition, and there are external forces, there are a lot of them, which still envy and interfere. Have noticed, Tutberidze practically does not give anyone a big interview? Because she is a workaholic, she is a working person, and for her the most important pleasure is the process and result. But before it all the same reached.

- In one of my interviews, speaking of the departure of Yulia Lipnitskaya from Tutberidze, you said the following phrase: "Based on my many years of experience, I can say that changing a coach, as a rule, does not play the best role for an athlete, especially at such a young age." It was a year ago. Can you repeat this with reference to the situation with Medvedev?

- Of course. I believe that they are not looking for good from the good. But we have democratic times, what a man wanted, he has the right to do. Only in 95% of cases this does not work. And not only in this sport, but in many others. The best results, as a rule, were always from the "home".

- You said that Medvedev will continue to work in your school. Now that she announced the cooperation with the Canadian, Brian Orser, this is apparently out of the question?
- No, she will be in favor of the school.

- It turns out, "Sambo-70" will pay Orser?
- Sambo-70 does not have such money. Pays and organizes either a federation, or it happens through sponsors. I do not enter this kitchen. Most importantly, Medvedev promised that she would definitely compete for Sambo-70, for Moscow and the Russian national team. This is the main thing for me. A coach who engages, removes ice and is paid hourly, is a worldwide system that has been around for decades. And I know, for example, that in the beginning they will take care of the treatment of her injuries and restoration with the help of cutting-edge funds that are in Canada.

I don't think they would stop her supporting as long as she represents Russia. But I bet Russian skating federation will pay what her training would cost in Russia or slightly more and the rest will be on her (sponsors etc.).

Thank you very much, this seems like a very interesting interview. I‘m really looking forward to see how Zhenya will cope in Canada, I hope she does well and likes it there! Especially now, that she seems to get more support already. :)

Yes, Stephen was born in Russia and skated in Ekaterinburg, Russia. His family noticed his talent and brought him to the attention of Lee and Brian at the Cricket Club very early and they took him on when he was 7. So he's been living here with his family at least since then and he represents Canada. In an interview with PJ Kwong Stephen sounded like your average Ontarian but then ended it with a "Spasibo", so he's retained at least that much Russian :) I'm sure he remembers far more than that, not least because his parents likely speak it at home. However, Stephen's pretty shy from all accounts so he may be shyer about speaking in Russian. But maybe Evgenia may coax some more out of him, unless she is more intent on upping her conversational English. He's certainly lucky to have another kind and experienced skater arriving at the CC. I am sure all the veterans will support him as he navigates his first year internationally as a junior, while he supports her in her first year living and training in an unfamiliar country.

Thanks for the info. Zhenya will fit in nicely there.
