Evgenia Medvedeva

She looked in shape .. and her program had the touch of eteri and daniil in a good way..
Now the big question when she be ready for competition?.. can she be an option for worlds ?...because after nationals the third spot is still in the mix ... because the 3A of Liza isn't very consistent (and she misses the other jumps and points in pcs) and kostornaia we don't know if can she have the 3A back before worlds .. so in a equal field without a consistent 3a.. zhenya has a good shot
It was elegant and polished in a way that Eteri specializes in, I think. I doubt she’ll be ready to compete at the top level in just 3 months. Not even sure if that’s in her plans. I think she’s just slowly getting back into form, and she’ll compete when she’s ready, but she won’t rush to compete in any competition.
 
I am sure they are taking things slow and observing along the way if she is in shape enough for a competition. Apparently RusFed plans to hold 3 more competitions between February and March. Maybe they will train and look how fit she is and if she is fit enough send her to a comp in Feb/March or just prepare for the next season.
I am sure the gala today was what Zhenya needed to raise her spirits. Zhenya said before that the galas this New Years and Christmas are important for her in order to have a small goal to work towards. Cannot wait to see clips of her at Averbukh's show. I hope we get some fancams.
Also Zhenya accomplished her small goal. She wanted to land at least one jump at RusNats and she did :) step by step

Zhenya's skating today was pure magic. No one else makes me feel this type of magic while skating :love:

"UNDER " ECHO OF LOVE»

Let's not deceive ourselves — many people came to the gala of two-time world and European champion, Olympic medalist Evgenia Medvedeva. The 21-year-old world figure skating prima missed the Russian Championships due to injury and recovery from the coronavirus (the disease relapsed, back pain appeared). Evgenia intends to continue skating in the group of Eteri Tutberidze, but first you need to restore your health.

Evgenia Medvedeva flew to the capital of the southern Urals on the last day and went out on the ice, skating the program to "Echo of love" performed by Anna German to the words of Robert Rozhdestvensky.

There were no particularly complex elements in the performance of the famous athlete. Of course-a girl after an illness. But the audience was waiting for Medvedeva. Almost the entire audience gave a standing ovation. More than five minutes of standing ovation. It was probably the loudest applause of the three days of competition. Toys that flew to the ice from grateful spectators were carried away from the ice in bags. Bouquets of red and white roses-armfuls.

In the stands, particularly "advanced" spectators expressed their admiration by raising neon posters above their heads, on which it was highlighted — "Zhenya".

And before that, Evgenia managed to "light up" at the gala number of Mark Kondratyuk under the song "What a pity that you are not with me today" by the Bravo group. At the end of the performance, Mark drove up to the board and invited Medvedeva to the ice. The guy on the" script " decided to confess his love to Evgenia, but Medvedeva did not reciprocate, turning her back on him.
[...]

In the final of the demonstration performances, all skaters rolled out on the ice, performing some of their most difficult elements, including triple, quadruple jumps. But Evgenia Medvedeva decided not to take any chances, refusing to jump. It remains to wish our famous champion health and a speedy return to competitive mode. However, as well as to all figure skaters."

 
She is such a star. Her performance already has 167k views on 1tv's YouTube, more than any other video from the gala.

Her beaming smile at the end says it all. Telling stories on the ice is her passion. She's a gift to the world ❤️
I'm still smiling from this morning. I feel such relief to see her look so beautiful and healthy. And she will have all her jumps back soon.
 
"How I missed her!

Medvedeva triumphantly returned to the ice at the Russian Championship The champion rejected the young skater (Mark) and brought the audience to tears.

It seems that harsh Chelyabinsk has never seen so many tears. The Russian Figure Skating Championship was breaking through to the strongest emotions, and the triumphant return of Evgenia Medvedeva just finished it off. The two-time world champion did not compete for almost three months due to a back injury and a serious illness, and then went out and skated her aorta apart. The audience greeted Evgenia with such a standing ovation, as if she had become the champion of Russia.

[...]
However, Medvedeva still flew to Chelyabinsk. The champion's performance was announced as part of the demonstration performances and attracted her personal fans to the stands. At first, Zhenya visited as a spectator, applauding the brilliant skates of Trusova, Valieva and Shcherbakova, and the next day she went out on the ice herself. And twice. At the end of his act, the sensational bronze medalist of the men's tournament, Mark Kondratyuk , invited the skater to the rink and confessed his love to her, but Medvedeva refused, turning her back on the 17-year-old athlete. Naturally, in strict accordance with the script.
Zhenya's appearance in Mark's program was a pleasant surprise, then her solo performance was the most anticipated event of the gala show. For the sake of these five minutes, some fans specially flew to the capital of the South Urals. And they did not lose! The premiere of the number to the piercing song of Anna German "Echo of Love" caused a powerful reaction from the audience. The audience cried, applauded, shouted the name of their favorite skater, waved posters and scarves with words of support. Flawless glide, clear beautiful lines and amazing artistry merged into a sensual, soulful performance, which only Zhenya Medvedeva is capable of. And let the skeptics pay attention to the fact that during the long program the skater performed only one jump (triple salchow at the very beginning), Zhenya's rental is not about technique. It is about art, about overcoming, about gratitude and about a dream, which for this strong girl remains a goal. Obviously, health problems are still affecting: the rotations are chosen so as to reduce the load on the spine, and the rolling angle is no longer too sharp. Nevertheless, the confident execution of even a simple jump, beautiful paths and spectacular spins confirm that the athlete is gradually gaining shape."
