Evgenia Medvedeva

The funny part is that on watching the replay, even with the bad takeoff, she is almost a half rotation too far overrotated... we all said a 3A would never be possible even if they fixed her 2A but seeing this in slow motion I am laughing at the madness of it. With enough power and a proper takeoff I do not think a 3A is out of the question in a year or 2.

I didn't realized that but... wow
 
Dang, I just watched her skate :(

I know that fighter-Zhenya can come back in the free, even if it's "just" to a personal victory. A SB free skate might not get her on the team, but it would be a confidence booster, and she needs that right now. And the competition's not over yet, she can still prove herself tomorrow :) (where I will be so scared when I watch live)

Honestly, I will support Zhenya in anything she does because I am her fan, but I am kind of scared right now. Not because of her, but... Brian was so confused when he saw that 62 = 14th. I don't think he realizes how deep the field is, and it hurts me to see Zhenya going out there looking so nervous/panicked/scared.

I only hope that Zhenya can end her competition happy tomorrow. I hope that she comes out as a fighter, with the same will and determination that took her to her successes throughout life, not just skating. I hope she comes out wanting to slay, because I know she has all the goods to do so if she believes in herself. I wish I could tell her how much I, and all of her fans, believe in her :laugh:

Good luck tomorrow Zhenya! Go smash that free skate :biggrin:

I think this competition will make Brian truly realize the competition she is up against. The team made some mistakes this season, but going forward they will be on the same page. And i am looking forward to see Zhenya skate tomorrow. :)
 
I don’t think it’s her team that may have doubts. Brian and Tracy have been through this multiple times.

I worry that Zhenya might think that moving to Canada and Brian was a mistake.

Hmmmmm... If so, she would have been unhappier now if she stayed in Moscow with you know who!
 
I do not think Medvedeva should go to Euros or Worlds, even if she manages to pull off a good LP. Missing out the rest of the season would be a blessing in disguise. Right now, she needs to just get away from the hoopla and take the necessary time to rebuild. Trying to bang out short-term results while going through such a tumultuous reconstruction is just going to worsen the psychological roller coaster and hit her reputation and confidence.

TSL had it correct that she should've skipped Nationals.

What Med's going through right now builds character and makes her a more well-rounded person and skater. In the long run, it is absolutely the right choice, but she needs to take the time and space to go through the reworking process in private.
 
Ok, who thinks there might be a chance that the gold dress will appear tomorrow?
 
Just saw a translation of what Evgenia said during her stream and it really made me cry... Evgenia, we love you.

“I made a step forward for myself, ” the First Channel official website cites Medvedeva . - "Honestly, Brian (Orser - Note. “SE” ) and I will discuss this today, but personally I think that this is not a disaster for me."

"I came to Russian Nationals with two thoughts: Be selected for the European and World Championships, and be glad. If I fail to be selected for the European and World Championships, I have the time that I need in order to rebuild myself more.

Well, that's settled then. Whatever the outcome, she will be prepared for it :luv17:
 
On Russian forum wrote, that identified, that have Zhenya on back. This acupuncture magnetic patch, its main functions: pain control and muscle relaxation.
 
I’ve never skated so I guess it’s hard for me to understand the mental aspects of it - but she is so good in practice and just completely falls apart in competition it’s hard to wrap my head around. There really should be no reason to be nervous tomorrow - at this point, as TSL articulated, the world/euro team is out of reach. All she can do is her best.
 
Do you you think the patches are for the compression fracture from last season or another injury?

In acupuncture the needles are not necessarily placed where your pain exactly is. So they may be placed on the upper back to influence the rest of her spine. That's my guess. Usually upper back issues are mainly muscular and the neck and lower back are the discs that get compressed.
 
Alright. So it turns out I converted the time wrong. I thought the SP was tonight at 3 a.m. my time. Imagine my surprise when I checked my phone after finishing my finals...

I have not read through the last several pages of this thread, and I'm not sure if I intend to.

But if I know y'all I know that even if you didn't post saying so, we're all a bit doom and gloom on the inside right now.

Therefore, the time has come for "Zhenya Memes and Other Positive Zhenya Content" episode 2. I have been stockpiling for a while.
