Alexander Grishin: "I think Medvedeva is the number 1 figure skater in the world. But this does not cancel the fact that Zagitova won the Games by right "
"I very much hope that the confrontation between Evgeniya Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova will last at least one more Olympic cycle. I'm extremely sympathetic to both of these girls, and I do not want any of them - first of all I'm talking about Gene Medvedeva - to finish his career after this Olympiad.
Unfortunately, the injury that happened to Zhenya at the beginning of the season
(the information about her came in the middle of September) did not allow her to perform at the Games for 100 percent and also did not allow performing at the World Championships in Milan.
I consider Medvedeva to be the number one skater in the world, but this does not prevent the Aline Zagitova from being the strongest in the Games. I would like them to continue skating.
A little more I sympathize with Medvedeva. First, we know her personally. Secondly, I, like many other experts, pay tribute to a man who achieves results due to his efficiency. In my opinion, Alina is somewhat more given, she is more predisposed to jumping, she is younger and went to the Olympics at the age when her body did not have time to begin to change.
As for Medvedeva, I also talked to coaches, and I saw Zhenya myself on training many times-she takes shape for a long time even during the week-long cycle and quickly loses her. Coach Tutberidze Sergei Dudakov told me that with six training days a week, Medvedev on Monday and Tuesday is weaker than on Friday and Saturday. This is a feature of her body - in one day she can lose a lot from what was gained in a week.
But she has a wonderful ability - she can assemble herself, be constantly ready to perform at the level of the best athlete in the world, and it's amazing. Well, plus to everything - Zhenya is a wonderful person, very intelligent person. Now she is not so frank with the press, it can be understood, since the attention to it is colossal.
In the confrontation between Medvedev and Zagitov, my sympathies are on the side of Medvedeva. But this does not completely exclude the fact that Zagitova won the Olympics by right, "Grishin told in an interview with Satellite.

Alexander Grishin is the commentator together with TAT. So the injury started in September...what a major mistake to let her start at the GP Series.
.
she's having so much fun!
Wouldn't that be something!! I can just imagine the results if Brian and Tracy got her...
It's what she deserves!
