Evgenia Medvedeva

Speaking of rivalry, I found this post and it just warmed my heart since I love Zhenya and Alina’s friendship

Zhenya defends Alina on her insta (I hope it’s not inappropriate to post it here, sorry if it is).

I never understand why ppl think that they hate each other and wrote those kind of things...
They train together many years and evgenia is the sweetest person- I can't image that she will ever talk behind anyones backs or let anyone around her to do that
They can be rivals on ice... I don't believe that they are friends anymore, not everybody can be like yuzuru and javi but I am sure they respect each other

I've heard this song before!

Found it on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3CILdkBpJU

So fun to see Zhenya do it. It sounds like the lady who taught her runs some sort of dance troupe that does 1980s dance covers or something like that. They actually got to do the number with the singer here: (go to 3:08): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj-1AqmC4V0

Zhenya has impersonated that character in a previous show!

Alexander Grishin about Zhenya and Alina (on April 10)

Nicely balanced article, I agree with most of it and I like that it doesn't create weird drama between the two skaters!

I noticed that too, I'm glad to see Zhenya defend Alina on her own social media. It sends the right kind of message and I really appreciated seeing that!

Zhenya is a great role model for teens and young people all over the world and a great ambassador for Russia :agree:
I will say it again: the world is lucky to have her.

Good on Evgenia for defending Alina. :agree:

Pretty sure she is being paid to promote it

She quit playing Mario Kart with Maia Shibutani in that ShibSibs Instastory to return to her lunch of solid food, and she is often posting pictures of fruit or is seen eating or snacking on something, so I would say that it's likely a resounding "No." I'm sure she's just being paid to promote the drink. I assume she has tried at least one glass of it before saying, "Yeah, I'll sell that stuff for you," but perhaps not. At any rate, I really doubt if she's on some sort of liquid diet.

i think she's jus promoting it (good for her, cash that yen zhenya!) just a few weeks ago some crazy made jokes about her always posting things about eating on twitter and i remember her clapping back telling him "am i supposed to not eat at all, i've tried it before, nothing good came out of it" so i'm sure she's in a healthy place now and is taking care of herself eating well and everything

Why would a Japanese company pay her to suddenly post their product when she's not in Japan anymore and also she is a foreign skater. Why not ask Japanese skaters first since they are targeting mainly japanese women? I don't know but I don't think that company Rivaland is rich enough to pay Zhenya to post their products on her IG. Zhenya isn't a cheap model [emoji23]
Maybe she got recommended it and is trying it out.

She has a lot of Japanese fans and is sort of active on social media so it makes sense that she would be paid. Depending on the contract you don’t need to super rich to pay an athlete like Zhenya actually, this could be a one off promotion. You can usually tell when someone is being paid because their caption is approved by the company

A Japanese company paying Zhenya for promotion makes more sense to me than Airweave’s continued contract with Meryl and Charlie. I mean I love them but it’s surprising that they’re still getting that Airweave coin four years on...

She's really popular and just posting a picture with the product on her social media doesn't make her a model, it's just promotion. celebrities do that all the time. she has the biggest following among figure skaters so it would make sense to want her to show it off! or maybe she just likes how it tastes

It actually looks like fruit version of bubble tea..but I checked the website and they are a detox company (liquid fast on their products for 48 hours or something). So maybe she could be on a 2 day liquid detox who knows?

Yeah, 'cos that's totally what she would be doing at TCC... *eyeroll*

No honey, Zhenya has spoken again and again about how she loves food and doesn't believe in extreme dieting.

This is definitely a promotional thing.

"I am planning to try new things this season, so I will practice hard so that I can show you a new Medvedeva that looks different and different from what I have been, so please support me."

She keeps talking about the 'new things' she's going to show... I'm so curious! This season can't come soon enough!

I‘m very curious what she‘s going to show us this season. Expectations are high right now. You‘d better live up to them, Zhenya!!! But I bet she will anyway. I mean, that‘s Evgenia Medvedeva we‘re talking about.

I'm always happy that Zhenya has a big social media presence contrarily to precedent or other faves of mine who never were social media people, it makes fans feel close to her but there's also a lot of nasty things about her on the internet, the things i've read on russian websites her russian haters are so dedicated but also things said to her directly on twitter, ig! and she isn't scared to clap back which scares cause i'm worried those things get to her! . I can only hope she's strong enough not to be too bothered but there's so much crap you can take until you start getting affected

I was looking for fancams of Zhenya from Ice Fantasia in Korea and i found this one! omg listen to the girls in the crowd dying every time she does the most basic thing they're all us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdbobEuyf1w

OMG YES! I remember watching the fancams from that show and they made an “oh my” sound when she went close to the audience and smiled at them. It was very cute and funny.
