Guys I loved the EX! And sure Zhenya is probably tired but she doesn’t look sad!
She’s back on social media, showing her “twin” medals and her EXO signed cd
Also, under the picture of the medals she has received so many compliments from amazing athletes who are supporting her and showing her respect: Katarina Witt (!!), Kenzo Shirai (gymnast from Japan), Adam Rippon, Mae Meite, Daisuke and many more! Zhenya really has built a legacy for herself and she is loved and supported by so many incredible people!

I also think she just needs a rest! SHE GAVE IT ALL!
3(!) clean programs on OG and competition just finished, she was busy with all interviews and even said herself she hardly slept the night after FP (in P&G interview). She needs rest and peace, I hope she will get at least day-two before Worlds to recover, she is not a junior anymore...and hope she enjoys time with her fav EXO
Go-go Tsarina! :hap57:
P.S. Thanks for the videos of her skates, I just can't rewatch it for now, The Wound is to fresh.

I just want to say ( not spreading negativity by the way or ‘making excuses for OAR atheletes’) this has not been a good olympics for Russia, just 2 gold medals for Russia?!
I really think the whole OAR team was affected by this and many were left off from the team due to ‘reasons unable to be disclosed’.
In some ways, I think it killed some of their spirit, not having Russian support, sports clothing/gear and knowing Russian anthem and flag is banned. I also think it killed some of their ‘motivation’, even our zhenya has said that she was reluctant to compete for Russia if she was not allowed to be a Russian athlete. Basically all of their glory was stripped and literally humiliated. I am glad for the medals won by Russia but kind of glad as well they didn’t win that many just because they don’t deserve to be in this situation. They didn’t dope and they are put through this?! I hope in Beijing, Russian federation and RFSF picks them self up and rule Beijing and be able to represent Russia again.
Now I hope zhenya gets her well deserved rest now, we are all so proud of you, gold or not, you are the champion in our eyes, no one can take this title away from you. We believe in you and we will always support you.

Here we go:
- You said that in professional sports most athletes are loners. Can you say that you are lucky and you are not one of them?
- Yes, with complete confidence.

Here is another interesting parts of interview:
Lenta.ru: Your last post on Instagram was before New Year. The refusal from social networks during competitions is it a must condition?
Zhenya: No, this is not necessary. This is my personal decision. I just decided that before the Olympics I will not post anything. And now I have not decided yet what to post. I can't make up my mind over it for two days, where to start. Probably, I will wait for the closing ceremony and then I will make a post.
- After the FP you said you gave it all. I was talking with your Grandma and she said the same. But it wasn't enough for gold. Does this fact motivate you?
- This doesn't allow me to stop. Just like the love for figure skating and art.
- How much did your injury affect your training (overall preparation)?
- Due to the injury, almost two months were missed out. Did it affect me? I can not say anything because both programs were skated clean at the Olympics. And I do not connect the result of the Games with the injury.
- There are lots of toys on the ice after your skates. What happens to them after that?
- It depends on the quantity. When there are a lot of them, my family and I try not to waste them. We are giving them to the kindergarten, in orphanages, the skating rink. In overall, everything is not for myself, but also for people.
- How do you feel about the fact that female figure skating is rejuvenated (gets younger)?
- I can not agree with you. Many years ago it was the same - remember Tara Lipinski, who won the Olympics in 15 years. So it was always like that. I do not see any problem with this.

I had no doubts about. Zhenya would never hide behind an excuse for her defeat or not the best performance. She is always very critical of herself and working hard all the time. she is a true athlete and perfectionist in this sense. I only wish she will always has the best team and doctors to help her improve and stay healthy!
