Evgenia Medvedeva

When I first saw her “beautiful mess”, I thought she looked like a girl waking up in her boyfriend’s bed in lingerie and wearing his shirt.

I’ve been thinking that she hasn’t looked confortable in her short program because of the new jump technique & the do-or-die nature of the sp.

It could be having a lutz in it and/or the flip combo in the 2nd half of the program too.

Do you think the SP layout will be shuffled? It does not seem like she necessarily needs to have the highest BV for RusNats, just be clean and she will be fine. That combo on the second half has been problematic.

I would move the combo the beginning. Exactly at her last two competitions it was a problem. I think whatever she feels most comfortable with and then we pray!
 
I think she'll do 2 Flips and 2 Toes at RusNats. If she makes the Russian team she might try 2A3Lo again at Euros or World's maybe. I could be wrong though
 
CBC commentary for her Internationaux de France LP is at 8:39, plus there's a "Coming Up" fluff at 7:00 (the password is women): https://vimeo.com/296229173

Her profile is at 0:50 (the password is women): https://vimeo.com/296229108

Her SP wasn't broadcast on Canadian television.
Siberia you are a treasure.

On Instagram, the janny.medvedeva fan group posted a video clip of an interview Zhenya gave to Russia tv. She looked like she was holding back tears. Can someone post a translation of Zhenya’s comments and the comments from Lena Radinova and the other woman as well.

medvedeva: "this is just a period of time in my life. Of course I was ready for some failures, everything doesn't come to you all at once. But still, all failures are hard. Even though I was ready for them, it's still very hard".

radionova: "obviously everything doesn't always go smoothly. you just have to get through this period"

bobrova: "She finally opened up from the other side, I finally see the Zhenya that I know. What she now shows at competitions, she gets enjoyment from this" ??? lol

bestemianova: " the most important thing that I wish for her is that she doesn't rush herself. That she goes through this with patience and resilience to get her form. She is a big, legendary skater sportswoman and everything will be fine in time."
 
I love this team! :luv17:
When it was announced that Zhenya was skating to “Orange Colored Sky” I thrilled. It’s such a catchy fun song and seems to match Zhenya’s bubbly personality (at least that’s how she comes across in English language interviews). I am shocked that she has trouble with it.

As I said, I doubt it‘s the song in general she has problems with as she performed it very well at Test skates. I think she wants to be perfect and is nervous and focused on the elements, which shows in the interpretation. I hope she can find her self confidence again. Maybe moving the combo as the first jump would help. She‘s missed it twice now and it looks a bit dangerous anyway, to keep it as the last jump because there‘s no way to correct a mistake. That could actually play a role, too, at least unconciously. She always had a back-up plan in the back of her mind, she knew if she missed the 3F-3T in the SP she could just tack the 3T on to the 3Lo, however hard it might be. She knew she could correct a mistake. Here she knows it‘s a do it or die situation, either she gets the combo or not... And if she doesn‘t, she‘ll have no Plan B.
 
Look what I just found. :biggrin: It‘s a Yuzuru fanpage but there‘s such adorable content on Brian and Tracy.

Watch the “Mama Tracy“ and ”Papa Brian“ videos. The excited look in Brian‘s eyes when he says: “And a special time for Yuzuru and all his friends“ (it was an advertisement for Fantasy on Ice this year) is priceless. :laugh:
 
You know, in Yuri on Ice he did poorly in a Grand Prix at the start before eventually coming back the next season and excelling. Maybe Janny will watch it again soon and don her Yuri outfit. Although Orser isn’t exactly Viktor...be more like
Plushenko or Yuzuru. There we go, Yuzuru decides to take next season off to recoup and instead becomes Janny’s third coach. [emoji4]

I feel like Pavlov’s dog. I woke up to check results from GPF, got confused when I didn’t see Evgenia (it was literally first thing after waking up) and after 3-4 seconds it hit me...
But I saw pictures that Evgenia is in the promotional poster of Edea and she looks stunning as ever!
