Never say that, no one knew how much Yana had to go through at Olympic Rio. She dominated for 3 years too. When you're put on top of everyone for so long, the pressure at some point will be huge.

I read this article only now although it seems to be from last year. But it tells so many interesting things about her personality. And we don't have any news so that's a perfect time to look back )))

Zelina Gamari ("Ζελίνα Γκάμαρη") is one of the commentators.
(Unfortunately I don’t know the name of male commentator. So “Male commentator”)
Starting at 0.15
0.15 ZG : let's watch Evgenia Medvedeva now ...” River flaws in you” and the “Winter” are the tracks she has chosen.
0.58 MC: Her coach is Eteri Turberidze, who was also Julia Lipnitskaya’s coach back in Sochi 2014.
2.24 MC: Her jumps come out of very light movements ... They seem to be so easy… and simple. But they are very difficult.
3.19 MC: Let’s bet that she will get some “tens”
3.22 ZG: Ten? I can’t bet against you (laughing)
3.27 MC: Let’s see
3.29 ZG: Anyway she’s wonderful. And she’s at the top for two seasons already.
3.40 MC: She reaches perfection.
3.47 ZG: She’s a natural talent, her body type also helps and she’s working very hard.
3.52 MC: Of course we don’t have… we don’t have all the data that judges have, but I imagine that her scores will be very high.
4.03 MC: A detailed protocol is published only at the end (of competition). She did all the jumps and spins and her jumps are at the second half of the program and will get 10% bonus… an amazing StSq… light movements starting from her knees… Look at her edges, turns and twizzles… and every move fits the music.
4.54 MC: 3Lo
5.02 MC: 2A
ZG: It’s terrific
MC: The landing that we see on 2A… no sign on ice. It’s like landing on a sand… superb technique.
5.30 ZG: And from last year's performances at the senior level, although she was a little girl, her expression, her movement were of a woman. She didn’t perform like a little girl. She was mature.
MC: Yes, we remember that program with the clock that beats and … (my comment, what clock???)
The scores appear – First!
ZG: First!
MC: (smth about scores math) so there can be one…
ZG: One ten
MC: One ten, but we don’t know yet. We will find out afterwards.
ZG: 42.1 for TE and 36.91 for Presentation so overall score is 79.1. I don’t think she’s going to lose her title.

Maybe they referred to that weird arms movement Zhenya did at the beginning of "W.E." program. When my friends saw it they said it looked like she wanted to mimic hands of clock.
Of course I had to watch this program again but I don't mind. It was just so so beautiful

Evgenia said she wanted to skate in a show with Yuzu right? Well, Yuzu has been added to the cast of Fantasy on Ice and they are both booked to appear in Niigata. June 16-18.:thumbsup:

The female commentator is Zelina Gamari ("Ζελίνα Γκάμαρη") the male I don't know it's not mentioned on the Greek national TV web site.
The gala commentator was Alexis Kostalas (Αλέξης Κοστάλας), who was the main commentator of the Greek national TV in the past, as far I remember. He is quite knowledgeable. But the one that did it this time, Ι found them amateur.

Thank you! I will update my post once I get home.

Sputnik News (Japan's press) interview about Hanyu and japanese figure skating fans.
They asked her if she like yuzu not only as a skater but also as a man [emoji23]
Of course, she said that she don't want to answer about such subject.
I think it was a little bit indelicate question [emoji28][emoji33]
And looks like TV Asahi offer her Tokyo tour after WTT

And I thought Japanese media was usually very decent ))) Even in Russia she doesn't get questions like that. Ah, if only we could see her face when they asked her

Oh lord...if anything, this type of stuff might just make things awkward between them. -______- Yuzu really doesn't like this type of speculation so I hope to God that he doesn't see this.
Hahahahaha. I have been used to watch figure skating in Russian language or when in youtube in English Eurosport ...so it is really weird to hear Greek in the comments section during the programm. It is like watching a movie rather than watching actual commentating of FS. Or like two friends discussing some information they jst read and are occasional fans of FS . And yep....they indeed are awful...especially Zelina. Lots of hate of greek fans in the facebook page
So really we wont get any extra information from translating her LP. I will try if I see something worth it 
Αχ Κωστάλα που είσαι ! Μακάρι να μεταδώσει τους Ολυμπιακούς του χρόνου ΣΩΣΤΆ η Ερτ ( που εδώ παίζει να μην τους μεταδώσει κιόλας έτσι όπως πάει το πράμα ) και να είναι ο Κωστάλας...!!!
Fun fact : Παίρνει επιδοτήσεις για τα άλματα της. Πιο ακατάλληλη λέξη δεν μπορούσε να βρει ειλικρινά ο τύπος

No wonder. That's probably not the first time someone ask her this, so she knows what to say about such subject that is no one business, no matter the answer.Good thing she answered straight forwardly but professionally.
On a lighter note, on her last instagram story, is Zhenya being grumpy because of the bad weather outside? I can't understand Russian but it sounded like it, lol
hang in there, girl, "just" one month before you're off to Japan!
That's a bit personal. She's an athlete not a celebrity. No need to grind out about her personal feelings.

She is grumpy about weather. She says she doesn't like the kind of weather she sees. She also asks "What is it?! It's supposed to be a spring!"

9 May. Russia celebrates The Victory Day!
I don't think, that a war can be a reason to be proud, but I learned to love this day.
somewhere in subway...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlZBxhZ2kH8
Here Evgenia Medvedeva tells what this day means to her
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCjSTHjDUeI (with subtitles)
Actually, we don't have many veterans now. Now the Russians take photos of the dead and carry them. It wasn't Putin who invented this event, the first march of the Immortal Regiment took place not in Moscow. The Russians do their best to remember the real war, tell each other what they know, the real war is not beautiful. Yet I like, that people are smiling:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjQsfc3XENQ the Immortal Regiment
Now the Immortal Regiment marches in many countries.
I'm happy, that "The Day of Victory" song is translated, even though I prefer the Russian text. Especially I need these words:
This is a celebration with gray hair on our heads,
This is a gladness with tears in our eyes...
These words are stronger than "sadness"... Yet I'm happy, that the translation exists.
