Sorry, but the competition with Zagitova has not helped Medvedeva... it's causing her to to some unnecessarily really stupid things in her program. I defended the tanos but the rippons look extremely ugly. I found her LPs a bit boring after the step sequence(last year was ok) and it's gotten worse. Eteri and Averbukh should frankly be ashamed of the direction they're taking her. Medevedeva's LP is sterile, directionless, meaningless, charmless and glamourless. It's the worst LP of her's ever. She may win the Olympics, but nobody is going to care with this program.
I hate to be mean, but I find it practically criminal the direction they're taking her in this LP.
Here was my previous criticism: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...ia-Medvedeva&p=1774490&viewfull=1#post1774490
I actually quite like Evgenia's programs (old and new), especially her first and second LPs. I do believe it's too early to judge this year's program, especially considering the camera work, but I really enjoy the music choices a lot (no more Carmens and Sherazade please) and I think she's a brilliant skater that I enjoy watching.
They have built quite a definite style in the past few years, and obviously whether you like it or not is a matter of personal taste - I do hope that after the Olympics she will try a new choreographer and challenge new styles, but for the moment I think she works really, really well with the direction they have chosen, and I'm excited to see the programs develop through the season!
