Evgenia Medvedeva

It seems that she is in bad shape now:( Became thicker. Hope to see her best in September and etc.

One fall doesn't mean bad shape, we should see the whole EX before judging, and it's ok to become "thicker" when you grow up, that is how it works
 
I think Evgenia looks really good. She looked like she was having a blast doing the show. I don't expect competition ready form in early July.

As for anyone complaining she is "thicker". It's called muscle, teenagers are going to change as they age, she is still a very small person. Would you rather skaters starve themselves or over exercised to stay twig like?
 
As a Sailormoon fan growing up, that intro is sooo cute! Love it! :)
She had 5 triples and only fell once in an EX. That is not worrisome. :)
 
Body changing is perfectly normal at her age, and I hope she doesn't have much trouble next season. She physically changed a lot from the 2014-2015 season to the 2015-2016 season as well, and she was still able to keep an unbelievable consistency. I think Zhenya has a technique solid enough to cope with any changes she might go through, besides, I don't think there will be any changes that are too drastic. Zhenya seems to be naturally skinny, so I doubt she will change a lot. From the pictures and footage that have been released, I don't see a massive change, I see it, but I actually thought she changed more significantly from two seasons ago to last season. But perhaps I see wrong :shrug:

Anyway, I still think it's too early to say she will struggle with her jumps. This is the off season, we can't expect her to be in top shape all the time, specially when she is not competing.

I've seen a post by a Russian blogger with quite a few pics from Zhenya in the Sailor Moon program. (There are also photos of her enjoying quality time with Liza Nugumanova between the shows, recent pics of Zhenia with her training team - I guess before the tour in Japan - and photos of her visit with the Russian gymnastics team (where she is wearing a red t-shirt). Unfortunately, there's no recording of the full program.

I'd also love her to do a Ghibli program. I once saw her photo with a My Neighbor Totoro calendar in the background. That's my favorite Ghibli film! Or maybe she'd prefer to bring to the ice Kiki's Delivery Service or Whisper of the Heart, which have more mature themes (about finding one's vocation and becoming an adult in general).

Perhaps Nausicaa, or Princess Mononoke? Holy Smokes, I feel giddy just thinking. :love: And I love her Sailor Moon!
 
Good day to fellow Zhenya fans:)
What I love about Zhenya besides her stunning skating is her open-mindedness. She's not afraid of being shunned as unpatriotic (which sadly sometimes happens in Russia) or showing her sincere, childlike love for another (Japanese cartoons in particular) culture. She's also considerate to her non-Russian-speaking fans. That's something bold and unique about her. She's very very honest, following her own heart and no canons. I feel like a proud Russian, lol.
I was so happy when she announced Johnny and Yuzu as her favourite skaters.
As for any physical changes in her, I myself still haven't noticed any major transformations. She's still a thin kid to me, a healthy girl who's hopefully gonna get back in shape soon and kick some dem bums. Maybe it's her costume which highlights her slightly changed lines.

:unsure: Not sure is sarcasm or? She looks hardly any different.
Do people discuss body change measured in fractions of millimeter often around this board? Because I though it should be dead giveaway :laugh:

The reason you don't see any difference is because there isn't any. The whole idea that a person could change massively in matter of weeks is ridiculous. But sometimes people just want to something to happen badly enough they're ready to believe the most ridiculous things.
