"My nerve cells and vocal cords will be recovering for a long time. For a long time I will be putting letters into words, then words into exclamation sentences to describe what happened to me during these three days. Then, when I nevertheless find a description of these completely new and absolutely brightest emotions, people around will listen to my eloquence for a long time and see how my eyes shine. But at the moment I want to say one thing for sure: Thank you, @jmedvedeva!!! We were happy to be on the team of exactly the people you chose. The team is headed by you. Being in an atmosphere of warmth, friendship and support. Feel your depth and sincerity. You are an outstanding person and a unique athlete.
Zhenya, you really are a real cosmos!"

"Age of Pioneers" - Dream Team! Thank you FFKR for the interesting format of the competition! I am glad that fragile girls won the boys in the jumping tournament! I am glad that Sasha was the best among girls in our team! It was an exotic experience for all of us, but it was interesting for us! Thank you @1tv for such a rich and exciting tournament! It will be great if it becomes annual! It will be much more interesting and unpredictable if there is a traditional draw next time! Everything is like in real sports! The Audience Award for "Age of Pioneers" is a pleasant bonus for us and a tremendous incentive to work and move on! @avtrusova @jmedvedevaj @xam_trankov 💪💪💪 And many thanks to all fans of figure skating, everyone who supported our team, thanks for the atmosphere, you are the best ❤️"

"Thanks to everyone who was, who is with us, who is just there, who understands and supports Zhenya.She needs you and us!"
 
I just followed her on Instagram. She is such a great coach .

She was so supportive. Since Zhenya chose Samarin, too, all her boys were on #teammedo. Look at her hugging Zhenya. (4:45)


And this, too:


Now we know why Zhenya‘s team won the audience prize. :biggrin:
 
Zhenya was cheering so hard for her teammates that she nearly passed out 💔

To think she did this whole thing for free - her fee for participating was donated to charity + her reward money. I hope she regains her health soon 🙏🏻

Nice of her to do that.

I don't think anyone thought captaining her team in this amazing event would take so much out of Zhenya but it did. Now she needs to recover and she has plenty of time to do that so she can compete next season.

You and Medvedeva are friends in life. But at the Channel One Cup, you saw her in an unusual role. What can you say about Zhenya as a captain?

"For me, Zhenya is the best captain you could imagine. Yes, indeed, she is a very close friend of mine. She was so soulful about every aspect of the team tournament. She prepared very seriously
Let's take our team presentation. When we came to training, Zhenya already had a concept of the performance, some paraphernalia - raincoats, helmets. We worked as a single mechanism - everything was very well coordinated. Ari Zakaryan helped to stage the number.Zhenya took on a lot of work and coped with it perfectly.


That is, staging the number was easy?
I would say that the performance was a lot of fun. Firstly, it is clear that the names of the teams were invented before the division of the squads - it takes time to order all the props.
Zhenya thought of everything in advance, there were already plans for the number. And our main task was just to amuse the people. We had to be funny and funny. During training, we had fun as we could. Sasha Samarin was very funny accelerated and was lying on the floor. It's a shame it didn't make it onto the broadcast.


Did you manage to complete the fun task?
- Two hundred percent! We had a lot of fun. When we were rehearsing, Liza Tuktamysheva and Sasha Trusova fell on this cloak several times. We agreed to throw them under the side so that no one would fall during the performance. But I still knew that we would go out at the opening and someone would fall.
Then, after Trusova fell during the performance, we joked and said to her: "Sasha, I had to swim further!"

What do you think about the division into teams when the draw was replaced by a draft?
- I did not fully understand exactly how we would be distributed between Zhenya and Alina. And when it was announced that Medvedev would choose dancers, I was very surprised. It seemed to me that the drawing of lots was planned.
Zhenya was the first to take Sasha and Vanya (Stepanova / Bukin), John and Tiffany (Gureiro and Zagorski) automatically went to Alina. At that moment, I really hoped that Medvedev would take us.
In general, as soon as it became known who would be the captains, I immediately called Medvedeva: “Hello, Zhenya, what should be done to get into your team? Who should I call? With whom to negotiate? " It is clear that we were joking. But I am very glad that I got to her. That's important for me.

- Social networks exploded from footage where you and Medvedeva hug and cry during Mark Kondratyuk's speech. How did you feel at that moment?
- In general, it's hard for me to cry over someone's program. This happens very rarely for me. It was literally a couple of times. But I was very impressed by the energy of Mark. I was amazed how he gets high from what he does.
This performance was very important for our team. We knew we were losing after the first day. We won in the dances, but still there were not enough points. And at this moment at the "Red Machine" three boys skate their programs very well.
I already had a lot of emotions in Samarin. But when Mark rode ... Firstly, I like the composition "Swan Lake". Secondly, it was very powerful and bewitching. Thirdly, when he was finishing, I understood that the guy invested as much as possible until the very last movement, finished everything. I was shocked.
In general, the shock from Mark began after the short program. It so happened that I did not see him at the Russian Championship. Therefore, it seemed to me that this is the case when an athlete does everything clean and rises to the podium due to the mistakes of others. This often happens in solitary.
But when I saw him roll the short one, I was just stunned. I remember how I ran into the locker room and began to tell everyone: “You have no idea, I saw this! Mark Kondratyuk skates so well! " Perhaps I don't understand so much in jumping and, as a dancer, I look more at skating, steps. He was good at this.

Why did you close your eyes during Mark's jumps?
- It's always like this with me! I can’t watch jumping during the rentals of people close to me. For example, Stasi or Zhenya. When they are in the air, I don't know if they will land or not. This makes me very scared. I sat with my eyes closed and held Medvedeva's hand. And by how hard she squeezed it, I understood whether the jump was successful or not.

- In what case did she squeeze harder?
- When the jump turned out well. Therefore, during the rental of Mark, my arm almost broke.

Zhenya said at a press conference that you do not admit defeat. Is this your position or was it simply thrown on emotion?

- I would not say that this is our position. Yes, we were hoping for a different result. But it turned out like this. I totally agree that Zhenya is the leader. And I will subscribe to everything she says as captain. I will always be on her side, no matter what she says.
At the same time, I want to say that certain words were taken out of context. Now I see in a lot of hats on the Internet that Zhenya allegedly offended one of the members of her team. How can people make such conclusions? A person gave himself so much to this tournament, to each participant! She did not even have the thought of speaking badly about someone.
I wish there was less hate on the Internet. Now the guys write a lot under each other's posts. For example, the "reds" somehow joke in the comments of the "blues". Some fans take this too close to their hearts and start a wave of hate. Everything was in a joke format. We have not fought, we are not at war, and we also do not advise you to fight."

I'm so glad that she was on Evgenia 's team.
