Someone does a great job marketing their skaters.
It’s crazy that I know more about the skaters a million miles away than I do about the skaters in my own back yard.
Literally. The New York skating club is less than 6 miles from where I live.

Looks like Zhenya is training hard

What does your usual training day look like after returning to "Khrustalny"? And how is it different from what happened in Canada?
- The main difference is that now my day is much longer. I wake up around 8:30 am, have breakfast, jump in the car and go to the skating rink. At the rink, this is - warm-up, ice workout, gym workout, ice workout, cool down - and once! - it's already seven in the evening.
Now I have more time both on the ice and in the gym, and the training day is longer. This is the main difference, - said Medvedeva.

A new interview with Zhenya from the Olympic Channel
"Evgenia Medvedeva: "I hope that someone enjoyed all these scandals, but certainly not me."
The two-time world figure skating champion spoke about her return to Tutberidze.
Evgenia Medvedeva, two-time world figure skating champion and two-time PyeongChang Games silver medalist, shared with Olympic Channel her feelings about her return to Kristaly rink and how she misses her friends and what she talks about with Brian Orser. About Tutberidze and training: "Now I feel like all those scandals and rumors just evaporated."
Olympic Channel: Evgenia, this season you have faced a lot of difficulties: you had to deal with remote training, injuries and psychological problems. How do you cope with it all?
Evgenia Medvedeva: First of all, I think I'm not the only one who faced mental health problems. This is a very difficult time for all of us, especially for professional athletes. It's very difficult to prepare for a competition when you generally don't know if it's going to happen or not. I'm not saying this to make me or any other athlete feel sorry, for that matter. But yes, it's not easy for us right now. And I really want to wish all athletes to hang in there. I really hope that everything will be okay for some foreseeable future.
OC: And how was the process of getting back to Eteri. How did you feel?
EM: I don't know what the best word is, I guess "satisfaction" would be better. After I left (for Brian Orser - OC comment) there was a lot of tension in the figure skating world about it, especially among the fans. It was all like a tightrope. And now it's like it's stopped all at once. I'm really glad it's okay. It's very hard to live when you hear criticism or rumors on all sides. We work, we do everything to get ready for the competition and to be in shape.
OC: And this tension you're talking about - does it make you feel bad somehow? And if so, how do you deal with it? It's really hard when everyone's talking about you and it doesn't stop.
EM: Yeah, I guess that topic has created a lot of scandals. And people kept stirring them up, and then more stirring them up, and then more journalists got involved to make it all more interesting for the public. I hope somebody enjoyed all that, but that "somebody" certainly wasn't me. Now I feel like all these scandals and rumors have just evaporated. Especially considering that 99.9% of them weren't true.
OC: What does your typical training day look like since returning to Crystal? And how is it different from what it was like in Canada?
EM: The main difference is that my day is much longer now. I wake up around 8:30, eat breakfast, jump in the car and go to the rink. At the rink it's a warm-up, ice workout, gym workout, ice workout, warm-up - and boom! - It's 7 p.m. already. Now I have more time on ice and in the gym, and the training day is longer. This is the main difference.
OC: We recently did an interview with Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and among other things we discussed the age situation in modern women's figure skating: how rare the long-lived figure skaters are today. Elizaveta is 24, you are 21. She is well aware that many people say she is too "old" for figure skating. But she works hard to prove to both these people and herself that she is still competitive and competitive at the highest level. And, of course, there are other examples in the sport: Aljona Savchenko, who has been on the ice for so long and constantly proving that it's too early to write her off. What do you think about that? Is age really some kind of barrier for skaters?
EM: It ultimately comes down to health alone. If Lisa is healthy, if she feels the strength and energy to keep going, to keep getting better, that's just great. I'm happy for her all the time, actually. We all text each other, comment on each other on Instagram, especially after the competition. We support each other. If we talk about Aljona, she's definitely one of the greatest figure skaters I've ever met. And she's still a pairs skater, of course, and the situation in pairs skating is a little bit different. But it's crazy, of course, that she's had the strength to compete for so long. And not even just to compete - to train every day. And if Elizaveta has health, strength and fire in her eyes - I'm happy for her. About inspiration and friends: "It's just really interesting for me to get to know new people".
OC: It's no secret that you're a source of inspiration for a lot of people - other skaters and your fans. But who inspires you and why?
EM: I'm usually inspired by situations, not people. And I'm inspired by art. I look for inspiration from artists, performers, people who are doing something new and different. I can't name anyone in particular. I listen to a lot of music, and it inspires me.
OC: Is there really no one at all? You probably know that feeling, too, when someone you've looked at from afar for a long time signs up on your instagram and you think, "Wow."
EM: Actually, yeah, it's familiar. I always have that feeling when I interact with one of the great skaters. Every time I think, "Oh my God, are they really talking to me?" and they talk to me like I'm their friend. My thoughts are like: "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, he's coming, he's coming to me now. What to say? What to say?" - A fan is just that. It's such a blessing to interact with skaters of the highest caliber.
OC: Can you name someone in particular who makes you feel that way?
EM: After New Year's Eve, we had a show in Sochi, where there were a lot of Russian Olympic champions and medalists from different years. And I kept saying to myself "Oh my God" from seeing them around. I mean, I was looking at them when I was three years old? Four? Six? And here - oh, my God! - they're here! And they're talking to me, and they're telling me that I skate great, and that I look good, and that my programs are the best programs they've seen. And I still can't believe this is actually happening to me. I can't single anyone out, they're all great.
OC: It's easy to imagine, actually. A lot of skaters mention you in their interviews and say how much they like you: how open you are, how mature you look at things. How do you manage to make that impression? Is it just part of your personality or are you working on it somehow?
EM: I've never done anything on specifically for it. I'm just really interested in getting to know new people. I am really pleased to hear that other skaters say that about me, that they like me. But it's never been an end in itself, I just connect with them. And yes, I do have a good relationship with most of the top skaters of my generation and that makes me happy. And I really miss them without all these international competitions. But I hope that changes soon.
OC: What about your Toronto Cricket Club friends - Yuzuru Hanyu, Jason Brown, the other guys. Are you guys in touch now?
EM: Yeah, of course we're in touch. And with Jason, with the other guys, and even with Xavi (Javier Fernandez - 2018 Olympic medalist, two-time world champion, who also trained with Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson in Canada - OC comment) - rarely, of course, but I communicate. Yeah, I miss my friends.
OC: Do you keep in touch with your coaches and choreographers?
EM: Yes, both Brian and Tracy and my other coaches. We ask each other how each other is doing, wish each other happy holidays. We certainly don't talk about figure skating or my future - they are top level professionals and everyone is well aware of how unethical it would be now that I have another professional of the same kind, one of the best in the world. We just communicate as... I was going to say "as friends," but still, it's disrespectful to call Brian and Tracy my friends. But yeah, something like that. I correspond with She-Lynn (Bourne is the choreographer who has been directing Medvedeva's free routines for the second year - OC note), asking about her family. After the test skate, she wrote me that it was great and "Keep me informed, if you need anything, I will help". With Jeffrey (Buttle - 2006 Olympic medalist, former world champion, who this year set the short program for Evgeniya - OC comment), we don't communicate so much, but I'm sure that when we meet, we'll have a long talk about life."
