Evgenia Medvedeva

Popping in to say how much I adore her new David Wilson EX. I've always liked Evgenia for her winners' mentality and her combo jumps, while hating on her programs.
This new EX just showed me what I knew all along -- that she is so much better than what her programs show. She is so musical, so soft, so angelic on the ice.

Hopefully her programs next year would be classy like this EX. It was just. Beautiful.

It's great, isn't it? :love:

Btw, the song she skates to in this new EX is called "Mamarl", by PATAX. Here is the song on YouTube:

Well that looks like an interesting EX! She will still get at least 3 more Galas (Euros, Worlds, WTT) I wonder if she will alternate her first EX, with the one DW made for her and this new one; or if she will just stick to this one.
Off topic but I didn't know Elizabet was with Eteri atm :reye: With 4 CC exactly four weeks away, I would have thought she would be in Canada.

I thought this fan art is very nice. I have to admit I wasn't all that sold on the dress when I saw it at JO, but I think it got so much better after they made those changes to the upper part and the back.
Throwback to small Zhenya with Eteri and Polina

The outside edge looks better to me, but I guess we would need a better quality video to make sure of it.
However, I'm happy to see that she is trying to improve and get a clear, outside-edge on the Lz. Even though she doesn't get marked on it and she keeps winning competitions by a landslide, it's admirable that she wants to get better. She is a great competitor. :yes:
 
I can't see properly because of the video's quality
Also it looks like out-edge lutz to me but I know edge correction is not that easy...
She did jump Lutz in 2017 Russian national EX Finale a month ago, however it was slightly inside-edge lutz:(

it looks like outside edge to me but I don't get this edge think properly anyway
I just wish her to fix her lutz because it is her only weakness

she got unclear edge call more than one this season so I think she needs to fix it
 
I think she drew last group, 33 out of 34, so penultimate skater to go. I'm having trouble opening the darn site.
 
One thing is for certain. That camera by the boards is set up perfectly if she jumps one there during the event. :yes:

It's impossible for me to tell from this distance and quality if she held the outside edge but I don't think she'll get more than a 3z(!) at most. She will probably never be able to fully fix it because she isn't changing the technique as much as masking the edge. Just my take though..... I also don't think she'll ever get hammered for it unless she regresses to her her junior days level of triple lutz where it was obviously on the wrong edge.

My take is that it isn't really something to fret over at this point.

but more than that I wanna see her do a quad one day

Agree! She haven't hidden her weakness (wrong edge) and always said she try to fix her lutz. She is certainly a hard worker:)
If you compare her video when she was junior and recent one, you can find that there is a definite change in lutz take-off method.
