Evgenia Medvedeva

I can imagine her mom is more involved now than before with Eteri, at the very least because she'd be the one overseeing the finances now. It's got to be a very different level of anxiety when suddenly what's at stake is also the money you're paying straight out of your pocket when all the previous years in your daughter's career that wasn't the case. And then what's also to consider is that it's a very different living situation for the mom now, far away from home, likely with no other job than managing Zhenya. I don't think she's some crazy skating mom though as TSL seems to be hinting at. They just love that kind of stories, it seems... drama is their business. I just don't buy it, same as I don't buy Brian expecting Zhenya to win Worlds. I'm sure he thought she'd do better, but that? Yeah no.

I don't understand why they hate her FP so much, either. But oh well.

I think It is mkre zhenyas money than her mother's money .And besides zhenya is 19 years old and legally an adult anyways so if push came to shove what I don't think will happen than zhenya does have to do what her mother says .
 
It is strictly speaking Zhenya's money but she might be the only breadwinner in the family right now. And she's at the very least the one who earns most. Anyway, I'm not implying anything about a "money hungry" mom or anything like that. Just saying that financial burdens always add a very different level of pressure, especially when that burden just wasn't there for a big chunk of Zhenya's career at all.
 
Another fun comment from her instagram under the newest pic :rofl:

Someone: Zhenya, we saw Brian in a Macdonalds! Couldn't believe our eyes at first

Zhenya: He earned it :laugh:
 
Tarasova said that at the meeting of the coaching council, who made the decision on the composition of the national team for the European Championship, one person abstained, the second did not come, while in a press release it was written that the decision was made unanimously.
The third number has always been agreed. I was not at the meeting of the figure of FFKKR, I did not stay. But it is strange to me that no one spoke to Brian Orser. After all, he was there. You could also say it would be human. Zhenya went upstairs, to shoot her now with her own hands is wrong. One should always be given hope, she is even only substitute for the Universiade. This is unfair to the girl who made the story, "explained the coach. Google translate.
 
I have trouble understanding the google translation but one thing I can agree: Yes, it‘s unfair that she‘s only substitute for the Universiade. Don‘t send her to Euros or Worlds but give her the chance to go to the Universiade!!

I can't do the full translation right now. In short, she says it's unfair that she isn't given at least the Universiade, plus some shenanigans with voting (fromTAT's words), and she says that nobody from Federation didn't even talk to Brian while making decision, which is not decent.

"Tarasova doesn't agree with the decision not to send Medvedeva to Euros

According to "Soviet Sport", TAT finds RusFed's decision not to send Evgenia Medvedeva to the Euros in Minsk unjust.

Tarasova said that during the meeting of the coaching council one person abstained from voting and another one didn't show up, despite the press release claiming that the decision was made unanimously.

'The third spot has always been decided together. I wasn't at the meeting, didn't stay for it. But I find it strange that no one talked to Brian Orser. After all, he was there. They could have told him, it would've been the decent thing to do. Zhenya has just started to rise, it's wrong to tear her down now. You always have to give hope, she's not even the first choice to go to the Universiade. It's not fair to the girl who was making history.'"


Personally, I don't think she should go to Euros and that's fair, but Universiade - yes, absolutely.
 
I'm fine with her not going to Euros or Worlds. If they are going by results then it's fair, but if there are weird backroom things going on... it's definitely strange and I don't know what to say.
 
It‘s fair for her not to go to worlds or Euros but it was always that way that the A team went to Worlds and the B to Universiade. E.g. 2017 with Lena Radionova and Liza Tuktamysheva, neither of whom was on the Worlds team this tear. Now, due to the special situation this year with Liza, I understand why they send her. Bur Stasya is on the A team this year, she has the chance to prove herself at Europeans. That‘s why I don‘t understand why she‘s being sent to Universiade over Zhenya.

Yes, I am also fine with EC and Worlds, but Universiade is a bit strange to me. Especially, considering that 2 years ago they could have given Universiade to Anna Pogorilaya (she was on the main team), but she only went to EC and Worlds while at Universiade they gave a chance to other girls who were below her at Nationals.
