Awww, that's a great welcome! Enjoy your stay at home, Zhenya!
Those flags some of the welcoming squad are waving say "Sambo 70". Doubt the fans would pick those, so it's probably her club who send them.

Technical question, now that Zhenya does a 3Lo combination will she also go for 2T-2Lo instead of 2T-2T as well? It isn't very important but that is the combination that gets the least GOE and it seems like such an easy change now that she's consistently practising 3Lo combiniations. The third toeloop always has very little flow and I think that hurts her the most, a 2Lo would quickly solve it.

I confess that the +2T+2T combo is also not my favorite (not just Evgenia's but everyone's!).

A 2T-2Lo has to be done well, too, though. In my opinion at least. There are many skaters who have great flow and make it look beautiful and easy and then there are some where a second 2T might actually be better because it looks labored and slow and constantly on the verge of underrotating....
And here is something that I found interesting. Not sure whether it was shared yet, though. (Copied from the medvedevanation forum!)
Evgenia's video from the Nike "Dream Crazier" campaign is the most viewed out of all the videos:
(Google translation)
"Record Evgenia Medvedeva, which you did not notice in instagrame Nike
Her video - the most viewed in the Dream Crazier campaign.
In March, during the World Championships in Japan, Saitame Nike published a video featuring Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva. In it, she recalls that she won two gold medals at the world championships and two silver medals at the Olympics, and now her main goal is “to ride from the heart” (she spoke English in English, and said this phrase in Russian).
The video has become part of the Dream Crazier advertising campaign. She was given a start on February 24 by a roller for the voice of American tennis player Serena Williams: she told about the inspiring stories of athletes, of course, with a slight touch of feminism.
Then Nike began to publish stories about athletes who were not voiced by Williams in the opening video, but fit into the concept of the campaign. Heroes picked up a very colorful - from the women's rugby team from Memphis to the support team of the University of Alabama football team of girls plus-size.
Medvedev has so far been the last heroine in Dream Crazier. As specified by "BUSINESS Online", the production of the video was engaged in the American representation of Nike - if more specifically, the main office in Oregon. Filming took place in December before the championship of Russia.
Now (the morning of March 27), the video from Medvedeva is the most viewed Crazier Dream on the official Nike Instagram account. The rollers are arranged according to the release date; browsing data taken from insta.
3.95 million views - perhaps Medvedev took part in the most viewed video in the history of figure skating in Russia.
COMPARISON: Take in comparison with other athletes, about which Nike produced solo videos from June to March. Dates on the chart - the time of exit posts in instagrame. Arrangement in accordance with the number of views.
Medvedev was ahead of NBA champions Kairi Irving (3.912 million views) and Kevin Dyurent (1.672 million). Perhaps, if we take into account data from other platforms, the rating will change, but the fact is a fact - now we have another indicator of the popularity of figure skating in the world.
The reasons why the video could shoot like this:
- Medvedev has been performing for many years, and when he hints that he has already achieved a lot in figure skating, he is not cunning. The longer you stay at a high level, the more reliable you are for sponsors. This confirms the example of the Italian Carolina Costner.
- Medvedev is no secret to anyone, popular in Japan. She speaks in an interview in Japanese, tweets anime tweets and acts as Sailor Moon. By attractiveness to Japanese sponsors, only Zagitova can contend with her. Actually, for advertising the mobile game Magia Record attracted both skaters.
- Medvedev is training in Canada and, albeit little, appears in American social networks and the media (before the season, NBC spoke with her, the holder of the rights to the Olympics). It is difficult to say whether the links are of the same chain, but while Eugene was in Russia, she only participated in offline events - for example, during the 2018 World Cup she participated in the opening of the Nike Box Msk center along with Brazilian Ronaldo. About video of this scale of speech did not go.
In the end, the figure skater takes the 15th place in the Mediaology rating of the main Russian women in the number of mentions in the media, ahead of Alina Zagitova, Maria Sharapova, Svetlana Loboda and others. In 2018, she was in 22nd place among women in the ESPN ranking of the 100 most recognizable athletes in the world. She has 735 thousand subscribers in instagram, a solid sponsorship portfolio, and now has 3.9 million views in the official Nike account.
A good addition to the bronze medal at the 2019 World Cup."

Evgenia is a superstar 
Happy to see her arrive home and get a super warm welcome. We're barely into this off season but it's been really nice so far. So much content! I know she'll go quiet when she gets back to Toronto but I'm excited for her to get back to training too.

@Fluture, her Nike videos now have over 4.16 million and 2.84 million views. She’s really starting to successfully cross over to the NA market (being introduced to non-FS fans) which is great! I look forward to many more ads!
Also, her participation in SOI Canada should widen her fan base - although I note that during Skate Canada, she was so well-received, you’d think she was a hometown skater.

Yes! I've mentioned it before, it would be really nice!
Perfect words :agree:
ITA. The Canadian crowd adopted Zhenya during that event. I hope she knows that she’s got a world wide fan base.

I love the orchestra version of The Godfather’s theme. I think she could do an amazing job with it.

I have a whole playlist of music I'd love to see Zhenya skate to LOL
Something I'd love to see her do would be a SP in the same style and feeling as Jason Brown's SP this season. It'd be new for her, but I think she could pull off the dark and serious, yet a bit sultry vibe really well
It might would be hard because it'd be so new, but it'd also make her stand out among her peers who are primarily young girls.

I would love to see Rohene do a program for Zhenya. He is incredibly creative and it would be so cool to see what he would do with her. And I bet he’d give her a spiral!
Ok guys call me crazy but sometimes when I listen to the music I imagine Zhenya skating to it. I had it with Kukushka and Experience and she used both as an EX music 
Personally I think she would do a great job with Elgar's Enigma Variations. Especially famous Nimrod but there are also Moderato and Allegretto.
Already used by Adam Rippon but Arrival of the Birds is really great piece especially mixed with Transformation.
Piano and violin version of Pan's Labyrinth Lullaby are so emotional and Zhenya would do it a justice.
I can't stop thinking about how Chronicles of Narnia have quite skateable soundtrack which hasn't been used yet.
In the past I saw Zhenya's WE program edited with Once Upon a December and it was a really great fit!
And as fun choice I have Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major.
