Thank you Vladimir. I LOVE all Russian girls, they are different so I can love them different reasons. Who is the best? The time will tell us.

In this year Evgenia is the best, she is amazing.

Here’s the Moskovskiy Komsomolets interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wIFNT3qzt4&feature=youtu.be


Pogorilaya:

MK: Anna, are you tired with all these interviews you had after Euros?
AP: no, its nice to be called up for an interview, I don’t get tired at all.

MK: FS is a mix of sport and art, what’s more important to you?
AP: expressing myself is more important, the sport aspect is secondary.

MK: if you have a choice would it be to express yourself fully in a beautiful program or win gold at EC/WC, what would it be?
AP: well I’m most expressive in the gala but in a competitive program it’s difficult to combine that with jumps. You could fail quite hard if you lose yourself, or crash into the boards.

MK: how do you fell to be a part of such a strong, competitive group? Does it motivate you or make you nervous?
AP: it gives you tonus and keeps you on your toes.

MK: given your looks, did you get modeling offers?
AP: no I haven’s unfortunately. Everything will come in time.
MK: maybe they’re just shy to approach you?
AP: no, I don’t think that’s the reason.

MK: you and Medvedeva represent “Sambo-70”, how much does it help/distract for the club to have so many different types of sports.
AP: its nice to be in a club with all these different sports, so yes, it helps.



Medvedeva:

MK: (analogous sport/art question)
EM: when you enter the ice, your goal is to unload both physically and emotionally to the maximum. You don’t think “oh, I have so many strong competitors, I’m expected to get gold”. You just think about executing your elements well and fully expressing yourself.

MK: are you thinking about 2018 OG or just the upcoming competition.
EM: I just prepare for the upcoming competition both physically and mentally.

MK: is a world podium spot guaranteed?
EM: nothing is guaranteed. Clean programs is what’s important.

MK: (analogous internal competition Q)
EM: any competition motivates you for further labor and gives you additional stimulus to learn something new.

MK: (analogous Sambo-70 Q)
EM: it helps, its a huge school, a lot of support, it was very nice when guys from Sambo met us at the airport [after EC] with flags [of Russia] and gifts
MK: does prep. for worlds interfere with prep. For school exams?
EM: I work with a tutor very often. School and sport are different spheres and they interfere with each other.

Sports.ru is a trash site but it has the most active info wall on the internet regarding FS. It's kinda like Wikipedia with a comment section. Basically, you dont read the actual stuff on Sports.ru but rather go to the LINK provided ( be it Icenetwork, sport-express, sovsport, etc.). Just like wiki.

And about the hate toward Zhenia, well let's see:

She pushed out "Motherland's Favorite" Lipnitskaia and made her cry and stuff.
She pushed out Sahanovich and made her fall into an abyss (from JGPF vice-champion to 2nd to last at Jr. Nats, ouch!)
She is a dirty Armenian and not a Pureblood Slavic Beauty(TM).
She is in good relations with Eteri, and no one likes Eteri cuz she abandoned "Motherland's Favorite" Lipnitskaia
She pads her TES with too much sloppy pseudo-'tanos and program disballancing backloading.
Her Lutz is Flutzy.
Her limbs are too thin.
Her voice is too deep/loud/harsh.
Her nose tip is too big.
Etc, etc, etc,.

People are bored inbetween competitions and every plot needs a villain. It's quite pathetic tbh.

Sorry, it was a joke post.

edit: perhaps there was a misunderstanding. This is not what I think about her, this is what other people wrote about her.

Comment sections of any news site, as well as Youtube, etc. always attract the most disturbed people - be it about sports or any other topic. They're toxic. I agree that there is really no need to bring that stuff to Evgenia's fan thread. It's best not to give haters any attention if you can help it.

What's funny about this is that it is completely believable even if all you read is the golden skate forums. A big portion of the Radionova/Lipnitskaya fan base say the absolute most ridiculous things.

Though every now and then you see a staunch Radio/Lip/Mao/whoever fan snap back to reality for a second - "Subjectively, Elena is my girl. I love singing along to her tacky programs, I love her costuming, I love how much she can sell to the audience. I'm proud of her for gritting out those landings this season as her growth has obviously presented its challenges. Objectively, Evgenia has way more polish and deserves a few more PCS points than Elena due to her posture, choreography, and more nuanced attention to the music. But I'll probably keep my mouth shut about unfair PCS if Elena wins in an upset. (Which is what we all do with our faves, let's be honest.)"

Anyway I'd like to make it clear - Medvedeva becomes VERY POPULAR AND LOVED in Russia. We were talking about just a few crazy haters.

And if Evgenia manages to win not only in this but in next seasons most will forget Lipnitskaya, Radionova etc. Especially if Medvedeva wins Olympics.

Q: Is this important for you to adapt a program for the audience? Does the sport always enjoy you? Whose choreography do you like?
A: Of course, it’s important that the programs and the image were pleasuring for the audience. In both the programs we try to transfer an image, to tell a story, to give all the best most emotionally.

Q: Do you take a part in creation of images, and also suits? What image would you like to embody on ice?
A: Everybody take part in creation of images and suits: both trainers, and choreographers, and I. I think that the my own image didn't appear yet.

Q: Whether does the relation of people round you change as you become known? Is it difficult to communicate with age-mates? And how do you overcome the obstacles and difficulties arising on your way? Who are your support in difficult situations?
A: The relation of those people who surrounded me at the beginning of the way doesn't change. I remain the same Zhenya Medvedeva, and friends don't change the attitude towards me. It isn't difficult to communicate with age-mates, we have many general subjects: it’s not only sport, but also movies, series. I will answer with one answer two questions. My parents and trainers on whom I can rely completely because I completely trust them help me to overcome all difficulties and obstacles arising on my way

SOVSPORT.ru: http://spb.sovsport.ru/gazeta/article-item/880259
Evgenia Medvedeva: The main gift is a bear

Q: Zhenya, you somehow told that you take part in creation of the dresses.
A: It is the truth, coachers, choreographers and even parents participate in this process. So the new dress is always the collective decision with adults. By the way, initial sketches not always correspond to that turns out as a result. In operating time the mood changes and new ideas come.

Q: So why in exhibition number to the song "I will remain" of the band “Gorod 312” you skate in shorts and a t-shirt – that’s in what people usually walk on the street?
A: We have chosen an urban style. But I think the exhibition gala number will constantly change, so at the World Cup will be another number.

Q: How does it turn out to combine figure skating and school?
A: I study in the ninth grade. This year I will hand over OGE (the main state exam for the 9th classes), I am engaged with tutors at home. Sometimes it happens difficult, but I study at Sambo-70 school where they provide me all conditions. It is much easier to study where, the teachers meet halfway and the class meets me in a very positively way.

Q: What is your favourite and unloved subject?
A: Easier for me are geometry, history and biology. I have no problem subjects at all.

Q: You will be able to prove the Pythagorean theorem right now?
A: What? No, not now, – Evgenia laughs.

Q: Each adult knows that these adults at some point start irritating all teenagers.
A: No, I have no such accidents. Neither parents, nor trainers don't irritate me at all, – smiles Medvedeva

Q: Had you any moments in your childhood when there was a wish to tell: I won't go one skating rink more, I don't want?
A: Probably, there were moments when I was upset very strongly then. I learned, for example, a triple jump and I fell and fell again. It is clear that the little girl like me could give up in those moments.

Q: In what age have you jumped a triple jump for the first time?
A: In eight years. But in the difficult moments I was helped by parents and trainers.

Q: What exactly?
A: They encouraged me and supported morally

Q: You told that you have a shelf with cups and medals at home. But what gift from fans is the most memorable for you?
A: That was presented me at the Nationals in Yekaterinburg. There the fan from China arrived and brought me a huge bear who is more than me. The photo with it all probably already saw.

Q: You told that your dog got used to it for a long time.
A: Now the dog doesn't see it, the bear sits on a case.

Q: With whom of figure skaters you are on friendly terms most of all?
A: I communicate well with Ania Pogorila, Katya Bobrova and Sasha Stepanova.

Q: Katya promised you to kick the *** for falling on the double axel at the Europeans. Did she realized the threat?
A: Yes, she did, – Zhenya smiles.

Q: Questionnaire "My favourite" Dish?
A: Sushi. More precisely, Philadelphia rolls and Chukka salad

Q: You know how to cook them?
A: Yes, I do. But I have no time for it

Q: Book?
A: About Sherlock Holmes.

Q: Song?
A: Hero, Skillet band

Q: Car?
A: "Chevrolet".

Q: Country, except Russia?
A: Spain.

Q: Five questions about Boston where will took place Worlds. What is "The Boston tea drinking"?
Versions of answers:
1. A historical meeting of presidents of the USSR and the USA which took place in Boston over a cup of tea
2. A tradition of residents of Boston to have tea on Sundays.
3. A historical event when Americans sank the English ship with tea that became the beginning of fight for independence of the USA
A: Probably, the third option
(correct)

Q: In Boston you will skate on the ice arena where NHL club "Boston Bruins" plays ice hockey. How are the players of this team called?
1. "Coyotes"
2. "Skunks"
3. "Bears"
A: I never watched ice hockey. Let there will be "Coyotes"
(actually it is "Bears")

Q: What well-known actress was born in Boston?
1. Scarlett Johansson
2. Uma Thurman
3. Madonna
A: Oh, what the difficult questions, – the figure skater laughs. – Perhaps, Madonna
(Correct answer: Uma Thurman)

Q: What kind of dance was born in Boston?
1. Waltz
2. Hip-hop
3. Twerk
A: First option: waltz Boston!
(right)

Q: Natives of what country most of all in Boston?
1. Irish
2. Poles
3. Russians
A: Well, I know it: Irish, – Zhenya rejoices.
(Total: 3:2 in favor of Medvedeva. And she wins again!)


R-Sport: http://rsport.ru/interview/20160201/893028986.html
Q: Zhenya, all the female athletes at this championship, on trainings and on competitions, are extremely concentrated and even are gloomy. And you everything occurs "on smile"
A: We with my coach have such a spirit - on absolute tranquility and in a positive way

Q: Before the long program Eteri took your hands and something told you...
A: Words of attitude. They change periodically, depending on a situation. For me the main thing in it is full tranquillity. Words of the coach were also directed on it.

Q: On the last morning practice you made the combos 3-3-3 and I counted their three pieces.
A: Everything is right, I do "flip-toe-toe" and "salchow-toe-toe" consistently

Q: What is the most difficult for you at this event? Axel?
A: (laughs) Why all about the double axel think?! No, for me the most difficult jump is Lutz

Q: Do you feel that after the Moscow stage of the Grand Prix you gradually started to break away from rivals, including Russians? The reserve is such that you can even be mistaken, but win.
A: I feel that I have a gap to work further and to be improved. This is the only thing that I feel

Q: In the current season you win just everything and you become the champion not only by results, but already in fact. Do you read or watch some materials about other people who was able to win at various times?
A: When I recognize a new person, I find on the Internet or on YouTube his name, I learn something new and thus I learn history of other people. So I reconsidered very many figure skaters. The most curious in this is how everything occurred till ourdays, during other era much earlier. It seems to me the situation was absolutely different, not like now.

Q: What is the fundamental difference, in your opinion?
A: The emotions. I think the people felt differently

Q: World championship will be held in Boston. Do you look forward to meeting with the city?
A: This is a very beautiful city, I want to see it. Interestingly, I can’t even imagine what is there the atmosphere and how it looks, but I'm specifically not looking and not checking any references about Boston, that it was a surprise. I was in Milwaukee at the beginning of the season, at Skate America. But there were not so many places that you can visit. Yeah and t I had no time for it absolutely

Q: But have you a walk there?
A: Yeah,I walked around the corner to the store. And in the store I was talking on the phone, where I was looked at strangely. I think people are very curious reacted to the Russian language.

Q: Where would you like to visit?
A: My dream is to go to London and learn English

Q: At a press conference in the responses to Western journalists, you could speak good English.
A: I’m trying

Ilya Averbukh: Medvedeva is a real phenomenon in the Russian figure skating
Q: Evgenia Medvedeva, as expected, won the European Championships, but not without mistakes. What’s the matter, in your opinion? Is she tired?
A: I would have said not about the mistakes, but about Medvedeva shows very stable performances throughout the season. It is worth noting. And at the Europeans took place, perhaps some reducing the concentration. She made the mistake on the simplest jump from all the items that there are in the program, after the desperate cascade "three-three", which was performed in the final part of the program that has added to her margin in points. I think that emotions have overflowed when she realized that most of the work is done. It was affected by the lack of an optimal experience. Medvedeva is a real phenomenon in the Russian figure skating. She cannot be put in several fleeting ups and downs. She has to pass quite difficult stages of physical development. As someone who works with her and see what she's doing in trainings, how she argues, what purposes she sets before herself, I can say: Medvedeva’s rivals cannot expect that they will have all chances to win because the next year Zhenya gets older and it have something may change. Medvedeva came seriously and for a long time

FSRussia: http://www.fsrussia.ru/intervyu/183...ogorilaya-figurnoe-katanie-eto-iskusstvo.html
Q: How important is the support of the parents, their opinion?
A: My friends always support me. Whatever happens, I know that they will always be there. Mom works, but all the time, free and non-free, she dedicates to me. Earlier my grandmother went to the competition with me, now I go independently. Relatives love me very much and their advice is important to me. Mom always knows how to set me. She and grandma are the closest and favorite people for me

Q: Zhenya, you're good at drawing. What has such passion caused?
A: For me painting is a hobby. This is outburst of emotions. Sometimes I look a really great movie and I am overwhelmed. I need to put it somewhere and the only thing I came up with is throw out everything on paper. Not always happy with my drawings. Sometimes I draw that did not expect. But I need it. It's some kind of special inspiration. And I have a little dream – after sports, after studying in Institute to learn the profession of makeup artist. But it is only plans that can be updated.

Q: You seem to like everything Japanese. How you treat your rival figure skaters from Japan?
A: On ice and off ice we, at least I are different people. On the ice we can go nowhere from the competition. But off the ice we are just ordinary people. We communicate in social networks. With Wakaba Higuchi we exchanged parcels with different gifts regularily. With Satoko Miahara we not so much talk. She is very modest. But always fit, congratulations, if necessary, support. About the love for all Japanese – yes, I like the people, the food...

SPORTS.ru: http://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/russiateam/892743.html
Q: Everyone says that you have the perfect figure for skater is graceful, subtle, sonorous. But how do you maintain weight? Is it some kind of special diet?
A: No, I do not adhere to the diet.

Q: You travel to different countries for competitions. Generally do you like to travel?
A: Yes, I am very interested to visit new places. I was in such places that are so dazzling, you don't even believe that you are here. It energizes me for the whole year.

Q: What places did you particularly impress?
A: An impressed trip on the Teide volcano in Tenerife. There offers just the landscape of Mars: all red, some craters... It's just something impossible! And there, in the Canary Islands, we went to a nearby island, and there was the relic forest. It was so thick-Pregolya the jungle, which even did not miss the light. Although we went to relax in the middle of the season, and on the islands where it was very hot in the forest it was so cold that people were wearing sweaters. There was darkness, fog and humidity that my hair was curling up. I saw some six-foot dandelions, ferns of totally unrealistic sizes, like trees, all overgrown with moss, vines hanging everywhere... in a Word, it was a feeling that just a dinosaur appear the huge trees. We were in the place where they filmed the movie "Avatar". We sailed there by canoe, because there is just unreal nice.

Q Is there some place where you would love to go but not managed yet?
A: Yes, it's London. This is my dream for five years, I guess. I think that when I shall be 20 years old, I give everything up and instead of going to some tropical place, I make a visa, buy a ticket and go to London to learn English on Baker street. This is really my dream.

Q: After the Grand Prix final in Barcelona many skaters said that he would like to live in Barcelona for a while. Are there any city that able to impress you much?
A: I agree about Barcelona. I was there already three times and has traveled almost the entire city.

Q: And if you could be in any place of the globe, just by clicking your fingers, where would he go?
A: There is such a beautiful city to Malaga in Spain, and London, of course. Maybe even new York, Times Square

SPORTS.ru: http://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/russiateam/889983.html
Q: Are you already recognized on the street??
A: Honestly? No, they never came yet.

Q: But would you like that they did?
A: It would be interesting. However, there was one story in the subway... I was sitting in a jacket (it was winter), packed in the hood. In front of me was a couple – man and woman – and I heard the lady said softly: "It's Zhenya Medvedeva, Zhenya Medvedeva!", then I looked up but they didn’t come to me.

Q: Does Zhenya Medvedeva ride the subway?!
A: Zhenya Medvedeva rides the subway, like all people, yes.

Q: You are hardly from the very first day training under the guidance of Eteri Tutberidze. How you have managed to achieve all that you have invested in the coach?
A: Honestly, the best part of all comes from her, because this is a human being having great will power, great working capacity. Eteri Georgievna is the person I respect and will always listen to her and realize what she's saying

AIF.ru: http://www.aif.ru/sport/person/chem...niya_medvedeva_ya_eshchyo_rebyonok#id=5424725
Q: Do you trust in signs?
A: I don't know sign or not, but I always put on the right skate firstly. It was moved thus. But I think if I start do it from the left one, nothing bad will happen

Q: What's it like in 16 years to win the gold medal at the European championship?
A: To be honest, I still didn't realize this. Probably not ready to accept it yet. I'm the same Zhenia Medvedeva — an ordinary girl who has fun with friends, sometimes behaves irresponsibly. They try to treate me as to the adult, ask intelligent questions, but I feel myself as a child

Wow Roman!!! Thanks :bow: I love hearing all of the good stuff about Zhenia :)

That's funny that she wants to go to London and learn English. Maybe she wants to attend University there after her skating career ends.

I liked http://cs628725.vk.me/v628725900/2e53c/N_sKVjg1dQM.jpg best. Her travel case is big enough that you could fold her in half and put her in there :dance2:

She's just so likeable! I love that asked similar questions, she said she wants a Chevy and Elena wants a Merecedes (not like there's anything wrong with that though)! :laugh:

I also like her thoughts on her travels, especially the bit about the "dinosaur island"...she is an imaginative person no doubt. Hopefully, that shows more and more in her skating as well.

Here is another new interview:

http://www.aif.ru/sport/person/chem...niya_medvedeva_ya_eshchyo_rebyonok#id=5424725

European Champion, figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva: "I am still a child"

In 2006, Irina Slutskaya has announced his retirement, and the country for 8 years has forgotten how to look like the medals in the women's figure skating. And then suddenly there was a generation: one girl is better than another. And for the second year in a row, they occupy the entire podium of the European Championship , leaving rivals no chance.

Exactly half of his life training with Medvedev Eteri Tutberidze - the same one that made ​​Julia Lipnitsky Olympic champion. But any comparisons with Julia Jack tries to avoid, he says: "She has her way, I - my". She carefully selects all the words, when it comes to its rival, the Russian woman, "all the good girls," "can not be blamed for their failures someone", "to envy does not go far." But about their hobbies says with childlike. Jack loves to weave different things, to draw all the Japanese (especially sushi and cartoons Miyazaki ) and Jerry French bulldog on a walk which, unfortunately, is still not a lot of time.

Roman Ivanov, "AIF": Eugene, who came up with the idea to give you in figure skating?

Evgeny Medvedev : When I was little, and on the TV show of skaters, then tear me away from them, it was simply impossible. She could look at this beauty forever. She asked parents take me to the rink, too. Begged for a long time was not necessary. First, the mother herself was riding, and secondly, with the help of figure skating I have decided to correct the shape - that was the posture, gait normal.

- Who is happy with her figure?

- Absolutely. I know the Internet write a different nonsense about my appearance, but I do not care.

- Classmates say that? Envy?

- In general, the guys from the class I see not so much. Because figure skating at school I - a rare visitor. But when they finally appear, I are all very excited. It's so nice! But, you do not think with their studies there are no problems. Of all the things I really like history and biology. I do a lot at home with tutors and hope that normally offered state examinations. And I want to once again thank all the teachers for having come to meet me, help combine sport and study.

- And do not feel that skating takes a lot from you? For example, the normal communication with their peers in school?

- When I think about what I am missing because of lessons in figure skating, involuntarily comes to mind thought: what would I have lost, I do not be in my life sport? This interesting meetings, and travel to other countries. Not many of my peers are able to stroll through an unfamiliar city, just look at the people who do not live the way we do. And to compare with the feeling, when you stand on the podium and in your honor plays the Hymn of Russia? So, I think that figure skating has given me much more than take away.

- Can you say that, because it is not faced with injuries?

- Why did not face? On the sores, I well know. In nine years, for example, he broke a long time recovering. But it can be overcome, when close to you close. Parents all over the support, the coaches and a great help. My mentors - the best, they are like a second family to me.

- You've sent to the European football tournament in the status of the Russian champions. Admit it, it was a premonition of success?

- I never have any premonitions and prophetic dreams. Dreams I do not dream (laughs). I just focus on what we need to do - ignore opponents and give everything to the maximum ice.


- The signs also do not believe me?

- I do not know, sign it or not, but I always put on first the right skate. It has become a tradition. But I think that if one day I'll start from the left, nothing terrible will happen.

- What is it, 16 years to receive the gold medal of the European Championship?

- To be honest, I still did not realize until the end that I won. Perhaps not yet ready to accept it. I'm still the same Zhenya Medvedev - normal girl who has fun with his friends, sometimes behaves serious. To me trying to be treated as an adult, ask intelligent questions. And I feel myself a child.


I'm glad that she doesn't care what people say online about her figure...good for her! I tried to read a little bit of that 43-page(!) thread about her in The Edge and it's full of some very creepy comments nitpicking everything about her from head to toe. A barely 16-year-old girl...and surely in far better physical shape than most of the people who think they have a right to judge her.

Or maybe her trick for consistency is to imagine herself winning and the channel her imagination to make it happen? :biggrin:
