Evgenia Medvedeva

Evgenia trained in her old group from a young age and has said a few times in the past that her coach "basically raised her", so there's little reason to believe that she was lying or anything of that nature. Honestly, what's done is done and it's best imo to just let it all go. None of this should've ever been as dramatized and plastered all over the media like it was. The arrangement of Evgenia's upbringing is ultimately a private matter that really doesn't concern people on the outside, who are merely looking in.

"I want to wish the further development and prosperity to Eteri Georgievna’s group and once again say thank you for such a valuable 11 years of my life. I remember how I came in just a little. Yes, it was sometimes hard, but I was trained, educated, supported, when necessary - driven. I grew up in front of Eteri Georgievna. She made an invaluable contribution to the development of me not only as an athlete, but also as a person. From her I got many life lessons. I will remember them all my life. On the rink “Crystal” my childhood passed, I will remember with gratitude the time of hard but fruitful work." -- Her official statement, which is enough for the public.

Plus we need to remember two things. Evgenia has a wonderful mother and grandmother. And this is her fanfest! So we should support her decisions.

Not yet! I'm not sure it will be Olga as I don't see how the fittings would work.

Oh love! How long do the Russians have to be known as Athletes from Russian in competitions? Was it only for the Olympics or in all competitions? Will it still be like that for Beijing?

No idea, hopefully Russia will get to compete under its own flag in Beijing :)

The ban was for the Olympics only, she can represent Russia in all of the ISU competitions. Also I think the ban have been lifted for the next games.
The IOC on February 28 said that all of the final doping tests by the Doping-Free Sport Unit (DFSU) on Russian athletes at the Pyeongchang games “are negative.”

“Therefore…the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee is automatically lifted with immediate effect," it said

Google translate isn’t great here but it’s all praise for Zhenya and her unique coaching situation from someone called Trankov?

- From her I'm waiting for something new in connection with leaving for Brian Orser. Everyone is waiting and thinking: "What will she show?" I really want her to ride like a Canadian figure skater. First of all in skating. If Zhenya adds and begins to jump like Medvedev, and ride like a Canadian school teaches, it will be a bomb. And I really want Zhenya to reach a new level. In general, this is a unique case where the two best coaches of solo skating today - Tutberidze and Orser - have trained or trained the same athlete. For Zhenya, I think this is a lucky ticket. And, working next to Auxerre, she may become an incredible specialist in the future
