Interview with Averbukh:

"Averbukh: "Of the current figure skaters, only Medvedeva can become a choreographer"

"Ilya Averbukh for Lenta.ru: For Zhenya, this is a certain challenge, but she plunged into work with great desire. I would not say that a new pair has been created that is about to start competing, but she and Sasha Enbert have learned some interesting high supports and death spirals.
- In an interview, Evgenia said that she was going to compete as long as possible. How will pair skating experience be useful to her in her singles career? Ilya Averbukh: I think it will help, because these are related types of figure skating. Zhenya keeps in good physical shape and trains..
Averbukh: Zhenya Medvedeva may be a little afraid, but she could be both a choreographer and a director of various events. She has an unusual vision. A lot of guys gravitate to create, but of the current athletes, I would only name Zhenya"

And I would name only Zhenya, too.
 
Interview snippets from the press conference

Medvedeva - about paired elements: "The most difficult was the death spirals, we even tried throws. "Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva spoke about how she was given paired elements during the preparation for the performance on ice "Anna Karenina", where she skates in tandem with Alexander Enbert.

“We tried lifts first. From what we will show today with Sasha, the most difficult thing for me was the death spiram, which I didn’t succeed almost until my departure. Then something jumped inside me, and I began to be able to stand on the edge. At the moment, this was the most difficult.
We even tried throws, but we stopped there. First, there was too little time. Secondly, this is a completely different technique. Thirdly, the height is more! Therefore, we thought that at the moment it is not necessary, ”said Medvedeva, answering a question from Sport24 correspondent Konstantin Lesik.
"Before the premiere of the play "Anna Karenina" in Sochi, Evgenia Medvedeva spoke about her future. One of the journalists asked where it is easier to perform - at competitions or in a show, using the wording "you just recently left professional sports." The skater corrected the journalist.
Zhenya: "Probably, at first I will do a little bit of tinkering and start with the terms. Amateur is just a sport of the highest achievements, and professional is just why we are all gathered here today.
Firstly, such information (about the end of my career) has not yet been announced. I wish all the information came from my lips. Then it will be one hundred percent reliable. At the moment, I say nothing on this topic. Yes, obviously I am not entering the next season. But I never say never. There was no statement. So let's live for today. Today, tomorrow, and another two and a half months, while the performances will take place in Sochi.
As for the question - which is more difficult, which is easier - there are difficulties everywhere. For 18 years I have been a singels skater. And today is a very, very exciting day for me. I sit, and my voice trembles. For an hour and a half, I will be in the role of Kitty with complex paired elements together with Sasha Enbert. Difficult for me (laughs). This will be my first performance as a pair. In order to prepare for "Karenina", Sasha and I had to sweat for several months
