Evgenia Medvedeva

Even if it was just showing off it's what ladies' field needs right now! Breaking some invisible borders, showing that everything is possible! Also if her rivals see her doing such a things for fun it will give them reason to further development. It's a clear message to judges, fans and other skaters "Look at me! I still have't shown everything I can do!". As long as this kind of move isn't penalized we can't really be angry at her.

But I have uneasy feeling about record breaking. The performance was breathtaking but was it world record worth?

Anyway I want her to have different choreographer too. The one who can show her full potential.

Evgenia says she would like to try 4 salchow, but in the end of the season.
About Zagitova. They skate together (at the same time). Evgenia says she likes a "healthy" rivalry, the relations in the group are good, they are friends.

After GP (in this interview: http://www.sovsport.ru/gazeta/article-item/936346) Averbukh was saying, that on GP Evgenia skated her programs with 80% of that strength which is expected. He explained, that Evgenia was ill not once, when they prepared the programs, that she had small injuries... Averbukh expected a better speed, more confident step sequence.

Thanks for translating! Oh I wish I could understand russian language...
I have read the news that she suffered from a heavy cold at Skate Canada and she changed to new boots one week before that competiton. I think she was very ill, because she had to wear a mask even until RC.

Maybe in Team Trophy? But I don't think she can do 4S
She has great turning force, so she can do 3T-3T-3T-3T but she is not powerful jumper as Miki Ando who succeeded in jumping 4S

Miki's 4S would be called underrotated by today's standards, so she might not be the best example. The only lady I saw doing fully rotated 4S on a video (although not in competition) was Elizabet Tursynbayeva, and "powerful" is not a word I would use to describe her jumps. Another girl that is likely (if I'm deducing Eteri's words correctly) able to rotate 4S is Evgenia's teammate Anna Shcherbakova, again not exactly a power jumper. Even among men, as Nathan Chen demonstrated, you don't necessarily need a lot of height to complete a 4S.

If she really wants to push herself why not start small and work on her 3Lz-3T? Or maybe try for a 3-3Lo combo?

You can only do 3 triples in SP and 7 in FP however you choose to combine them. Replacing one triple for the other provides only a marginal gain. And then, if quality suffers you might be losing points instead of gaining them, so it's a medium risk low reward kind of deal.
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!:clap: I can't think of any ladies event (where Zhennia is present) that she is not on the podium :2thumbs:

Pretty low risk given her average margin of victory. 3Lz+3Lo is a pretty substantial step up from the 3F+3T (11.1 vs 9.6 in base value). More importantly, she's a lot less likely to injure herself fiddling around with her 3-3 than she is going for a quad.

3Lz+3Lo is also a pretty substantial step up in difficulty. So substantial that 11.1 vs 9.6 doesn't even begin to describe it. If you're going to invest your time and add a lot more risk of failure in your programs you shouldn't be looking for what amounts to less than one percent of your total score in return.

I would say Evgenia's skating skills getting better and better. Of course she has a lot of work to do, but I'm already enjoying her skating :love:
 
I agree. When I watch her current skating and the program from her 2014 JGPF I see huge difference. I only hope she'll finally get right edge on Lutz and improve her Axel

At her skating became some absolutely special. As have written to comments on youtube as though it has skates with wings.

And it has an ideal nervous system for competitions - while others try will cope with nerves, its competition gets, at the same time allows to concentrate and issue brilliant performances.

Google translate:
- Zhenya, not breaking the last world record in the short program, today you have copied two of their own records. Angry?
- Is not that angry. I realized that these are cool competitions and that you can enjoy what you're doing. I did it today, I liked my current rent, like my mood, the audience - I enjoyed it. I've even lifted the mood and added strength.

This girl just wants to have some fun. no pressure... at all... :drama::love:
 
Not sure if I understand right, but in this article I noticed this:

- You did not jump cascade of three triple?

- No I did not forbid. Firstly, I do not agree with the coaches, and secondly, I wanted to go, but there was not Randy. As a result, I have this coat, which is not attached to salhovu and a sheepskin coat, made at the last hollow. So I made another extra stage. Naprokaznichala bit, not like in the Russian championship, but still.

It's okay that she has personal opinion, but for coaches it's better to know. At Russian Nationals she added third toeloop with UR which made her real 3+3 combo looks not so good and got low GOE. She lost around 2-2.5 points because of this. At Euro it was okay on 2A+3T in GOE, but still it could damage her total score in the future.

And this is the second time when she did her best combo 3S+3T with small mistake at 3T. Better will prepare cleanest 3T in combo than jumping 3-3-3-3 toeloops with UR. Hope that her coaches could handle with it.

english - http://fs-gossips.com/evgenia-medvedeva-i-played-the-rogue-again/
No, no one forbade me to jump three triple toe loops. Firstly, I haven’t agreed with the coaches, and secondly, I wanted to do, but there were no options. I did one extra combination at the end. I played the rogue again. Not so sufficiently as at the Russian Championships, but still … While a combination of four triples is my maximum, but why not to do five. I will try everything. – Medvedeva said.
