Evgenia Medvedeva

[carmina]

She looked a bit tired, maybe it's my imagination.

while her fs run through she looked tired but it can be because it was at the end of the practice

- and I am not sure about her spins

anyone can comment on her spins ?

The second Zhenya returned to Russia, Russia be like: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u5EdfXPTllY

Cannot say from this angle

I know, the angle is bad. It’s most likely still inside but the jump itself is looking pretty good.

Yes her take off looks really good. You can really see that she uses her toe pick now.

She had a clean runthrough. Omg she just did a 2 Axel + 3 Toe after the runthrough. The height was unreal.
3Lutz . 3 Salchow + 3 loop. 3 Flip + 2toe + 2toe. 3loop. 2axel + 3 toe. 3flip. 2 axel.
I think???


Could be that I mistook a salchow for a loop or other way around. I swear it is so hard for me to differentiate them sometimes

So do you think Zhenya and Brian seemed satisfied with the run through?

No idea about the edge but I agree that the jump looks better in general, even the entry is not as weird/unusual as it used to be.

I don't want to get my expectations up too high since good practice sessions don't equal good performances in competition but so far everything looks promising. I just hope she had her mental low at IdF and that it slowly goes up again.

it looked flat to slightly outside to me.

Her jumps look so pretty now, so light and with more height, and also her SS are really improved, if I already loved Zhenya before now she is on her way to become one of my ultimate favorite skaters :luv17:

First post in here btw, hello everyone!

 

[melgirl25]

Yeah, honestly, they should just stick to one layout and then train it. This constant changing can‘t be good for her either, she needs repetition. Can‘t say I‘m assured now but oh well... It will be what it will be. At least practice was clean but it was like that all the time and competition still gave her trouble. Not sure whether it will translate to competition this time but I strongly hope so. Stop stressing me out, Brian, it‘s not funny, my poor nerves!!

At least its not the 2A - Loop combo anymore. I am curious if she is actually going to do a 3Sal-Lo combo AND a 2A - 3To combo too. Maybe it is just for training.

 

[melgirl25]

I hardly see any seating at the ice rink where they are training. Is that where the comp is being held?

No, that’s the practice rink.

Hi, Ulrica! Happy you decided to join us here!

I am assuming what she did during the run through is her layout for this competition, right?

Easy way to tell -- Salchow "sweeps" the leg across, Loop "launches" - this is how I tell them apart! So for a salchow the leg comes from the opposite side to sweep around and the loop sort of launches from a crossed-over position, if that makes sense?

Disclaimer, I am a dancer not a skater so this is likely not correct terminology but it's easy to see even on a pixelated stream

I know how they work and look, but sometimes when I do not pay attention (which was the case during that 3 S and 3 Loop combo) it looks the same to me xD sometimes it is confusing if skaters use different salchow take offs.

Oh hi this is a silly post but Evgenia’s friend Nastya Skoptsova posted an IGS of them presumably playing with makeup and tagged her in it. There is a screengrab of it here: https://twitter.com/medvedevadaily/status/1075772649601564673?s=21

Anyway even though there’s no way of telling who’s makeup it is (probably mostly Nastya’s), here is a list:
NYX (looks like an eyeshadow)
Tarte Tartist Pro
Inglot (looks like a highlighter)
Hourglass
NARS (probably blush)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette
Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette
Huda Beauty Mini Obsessions Smokey Palette
Lime Crime Venus Eyeshadow Palette

I’m glad she got to reconnect with friends and just have some girl time. Looks like it was Nastya, Evgenia, and Stanislava Konstantinova (who seems like a very sweet girl and the only Russian ladies skater I know who has talked about seeing a sports psychologist)

They have some good tastes in make up I have some of these products at home haha XD

Glad to see her enjoy some time with friends. Before practice she was also chatting with Konstantinova

I‘m glad Stasya and her seem to get along so well. Stasya said some kind words about Zhenya in her interview too some time ago. That‘s definitely a plus. :agree:
