Evgenia Medvedeva: I'm flying to Mars!
Zhenya is a surprisingly positive person. Solar. For each, even the most tricky question, answers with a smile. And the Olympic "silver" in the personal championship does not consider it a tragedy, wept a little bit in Korea, and that's enough. There are so many plans for the future
Moscow met two-time medalist Pyeongchang severe frost. But by March 8, as an order, weather forecasters forecast a warming.
- Eugene, on the nose International Women's Day. What unusual gift did they give to this holiday?
- March 8 is usually a day of bouquets. Although I do not think that this is an unusual occasion. We do not celebrate it especially in our family. New Year, birthdays are another matter.
- One gift has already been received in the Kremlin - white as the Olympic ice, BMW X4 for medals in Korea.
- The car is chic. It's a pity, I do not know how to drive. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, handing the keys, said: "Get your rights faster." I will enroll in a driving school.
- What was most difficult at the Games?
- Not difficult, rather unexpected. When I went to the warm-up before the team competitions, the fans from the stands suddenly started shouting in chorus: "Zhenya, come on! We believe in you! "I was even taken aback: where am I at all? Like in Korea, but the feeling that at home Olympics. For a couple of minutes, he skied, mastered the situation. But still it was unusual. You rise on performance in an initial pose. You are tuning. In the hall - silence. And suddenly a lonely cry from the rostrum: "Zhenya, go ahead! You're the best". But then the shock grew into the confidence that the audience tried to inspire me. In the personal championship was already ready for support. As a result, the stands very much helped.
THROUGH FOUR YEARS - FOR "GOLD"
- How did foreign athletes take part? Was there no negative?
- On the contrary, the guys from other countries met us, as always, with friendliness. Nothing changed. It seems that figure skating unites the world.
- American freestyler Gus Kenworthy took home from Korea puppies. Did not you have the same thought?
- The house already has a dog - a French bulldog. We love and cherish it with the whole family. He is the only one. The combination of a bulldog and another dog is a hell of a mixture. The whole apartment will be blown up. Do not.
- Will you participate in the World Championships in Milan?
- Yes, I do. After the Olympics, nothing has changed in my schedule. The training process is painted as usual. We will not go to the training camps, we will prepare in Moscow on the home ice rink.
"Will you be able to rest?"
- Very little. In addition, all my weekends often take place under the same scenario. We agree to meet friends, but then suddenly someone has urgent circumstances, and now I'm sitting at home and watching the show.
- Do you think about the next Olympics in Beijing?
- Of course. "Silver", of course, is good. But "gold" is "gold". I have something to strive for. And the rivalry with Alina Zagitova only spurs me.
- In Phenchkhan, you conquered the fans in the image of a Tolstoy heroine. What literary character are you planning to embody on the ice in the future?
- We have not thought about the concrete way yet. This is a creative process. Must come inspiration, as happened with Karenina. I read the novel, watched a few screen versions. Particularly impressed by the last film. We are similar in character to the heroine. And it inspired.
- Figure skating is not in vain called art on ice?
- Yes, the production of the program resembles the creation of a pictorial canvas. Only our colors are the plasticity of the body, the artistry, the emotions that you express.
- I know that you read a lot. Who is your favorite literary hero?
- So that one person - this is not. There is a favorite book - "The Martian" Ray Bradbury. Many times I read, watched the film - and every time in full delight. Perhaps, we will make the program on "Martian" motives ...
there are terrible rumors about Alina and hockey player .... :noshake
