Evgenia Medvedeva

Zhenya posted a picture on her story of Liza, cheering for her during WTT. Great sportsmanship. Glad they get along well despite the drama of the Worlds selection.

I saw that and it made my day! It's so great to see such good sportsmanship between the two!

OK - what if she brings back OCS next season? :eekn:

:laugh: Unpopular opinion time - I'm full of them it seems! - but I'd be so into it, I thought Orange Coloured Sky was a fabulous program! Despite the mistakes at the Autumn Classic it was my favourite of all the programs. I thought it suited Zhenya quite well, although it was probably too soon to bring it out what with changing her technique after coming to Brian.
 
Oh please, I'm happy that they dropped OCS. The program didn't suit her, and I hated everything about it, from the dress to her hair style.
 
I liked the first version, the one she had at Autumn Classics. I know she didn‘t like the dress but it looked so good on her, maybe only a bit short. And her hairstyle! The bangs suited the theme so well. I think it did suit Zhenya, but maybe not so soon. That‘s why I‘d love for it to come back as an exhibition program. I don‘t think it would be wise to use it in competition again, there are probably too many negative emotions attached to it.
 
With all the juniors coming up to senior next season I’m hoping they don’t change her style too much. Hoping she gets something she is confident with. They have way more time to prepare this season and the team know each other more now so I really believe she is going to be brilliant next season!

I agree with this. They got to play up Evgenia's strengths, particularly because she's going to try out new jump(s) in competition next season.

Also, while I LOVE the idea of versatility and trying out new styles, I am not sure it is rewarded in competition :scratch2: IT SHOULD, but it does not look like it is.
 
Some points from the japanese interview (Google translation)

I was helped mentally by the addition of Misha to the coach and choreographer. I think that many people know that we have been getting along well since ancient times, but being able to relax and act can be because he is by my side. You will talk about something other than skating.
Glad that Misha Ge is by her side.
I've practiced together with Yuzu and Jason 3 times a week. I feel ashamed of being poles apart between us. There are many things to learn from them. I feel skating skill has improved this season though it's just only 10% of progress.


Tango music gives me passion and energy. I didn't really fit my short and changed it during the season, but Tango felt like I was fit. I think that there is a power in the tango that makes impossible possible. However, most of the tango exercises this season are on ice, so there was not much time to practice thoroughly from the floor dance. Next season, I'm planning to introduce new exercises outside the link to the program.
In tango, I used to make a slightly brown nude makeup.

I felt strange that the costume was black and the face was white, so I chose dark skin color. I wanted to try the darker skin color one more step, but I kept it aside.

I felt confident that it was not a loss of relief or a sense of liberty, something I could do, that I could not lose anything, and that it was the usual "able to fight" Evgenia Medvedewa. It was very important for me to make this tournament a new start, and I was determined to produce good results even under heavy pressure. Having moved from Russia to Canada, I also had a time to worry about the clutter and controversy that happened around me, my perspective and criticism. That's why it was important to show good performance and start again, and to acquire the power to move ahead. I now feel that I got that power.

I’d love to see her tackle something modern and moody (James/cipres music style) but for now it’s probably best kept to exhibitions [emoji846]

I think her exhibitions skates should showcase different styles. And then she could get feedback before she tackles it for a free program.

Her short program needs to be designed to her comfort level. The old saying, "You can't win in the short, but you can loose because of the short program" is totally true.
 
On the one hand I want to see her do something different, but then on the other hand I'm like "this is working so well, why change it when she can just refine it?"
I think I'm fine with the different things being left for galas and shows.

Totally agree, keep the short in a similar style and trial the new stuff in shows/galas for a while.
 
There is Nike event with Zhenya in Moscow and I’m in Moscow RIGHT NOW. But I had no idea about registration so I can’t go :palmf: This is why I’m such a life looser

Don't feel that way. Do you know where the event is? You could still go and hope to get a glimpse of her. Good luck.
