now I can already imagine who she will meet in the stages of the Russian Cup.

Well, nobody knows how the selection process will work yet - whether the athletes/coaches will choose themselves or the federation will submit them. However, if they CAN choose, then I‘d take two of the earlier assignments, if I was Evgenia. She’s been training, TAT says she‘s fit and the later dates might be more crowded. For example, Sasha and Aliona both might try to take a later date due to them having to get used to the new coaching environment. A lot of this season (and next) will be about two things: consistency and strategy. The first one is on Evgenia, the second one on her coaches. TAT knows her business, I hope she‘ll help her.

If the federation decides, then we‘re looking at another interesting scenario. I do think they‘ll want to get all of their elite skaters to Nationals so they‘ll hopefully try and make sure that there aren‘t four skaters at one event and only two at another, for example. How the selection will go, it‘s anyone’s guess. I do agree, though, that Zhenya will have to prepare for the more difficult assignments, given that she‘s not the (top) priority of the fed anymore. I guess they‘ll try to separate the Plushenko/Eteri skaters until the final for less drama, so Evgenia and Elizaveta will probably be looking at having to do their assignments with them. Who even knows anymore...

Also, sorry for the double post but this deserves its own one:

A spanish composer, Carlos Hof, created music inspired by Zhenya‘s performances. This is what he had to say about her:

“When every second of any of her performances is pure poetry, everything else is irrelevant because it is as if the universe were speaking. She is Evgenia Medvedeva. When talent and will come together, there are no limits. I just make music in her honor.“

Wow, what a compliment. :pray: The piece of music is really beautiful and fits Zhenya‘s skating so well. Honestly, this makes me a little emotional.

I think first cup of Russia is good for Evgenia, because she should be ready, but doing 2 in a row would be tough.

Yes, two in a row doesn‘t sound too good...

Tracy just said in an interview that they‘d re-evaluate Zhenya‘s situation after the test skates. In general, though, she hopes all international skaters training at TCC will do Skate Canada.

If the travel restrictions get less strict, I hope RusFed helps Zhenya figure out a schedule where she can do both Cup events and qualify for Nationals and do Skate Canada. It would be in their interest, too, after all, if they get a second GP medal for their country. But I won‘t be holding my breath.

New interview with Brian, here the parts about Evgenia:

"For Yevgenia, as soon as she does the Russian test skates (scheduled for early September), we will re-evaluate her situation.” (he means if she returns for Canada or stays in Russia due to travel restrictions)

Orser said he has been doing three video coaching sessions a week with Medvedeva, with whom he is in his third season as coach. Medvedeva, who left Russia for Canada after winning a silver medal at the 2018 Olympics, also is currently getting help from coach Elena Buyanova at the CSKA rink in Moscow.

“She (Medvedeva) looks way ahead of where she was at this point last year,” Orser said."

“I would like to get them all back, and they need to come back,” Orser said. “But facing a double quarantine is not in anyone’s best interest.”

I've been MIA in this forum and I'm not quite up to date but I had to drop by to say it's so sweet of Zhenya to share this cute fan art of her and Sasha in her Insta Stories. :luv17:

The poster is great!! I like a lot the photo compilation and the combination with the ballet.

And Zhenya indeed is the best model for the crop tops, they suit her so well :)

I agree with both these statements. :agree:

Zhenya's combos in 2017 year, video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta-xEKqrnsU

1. 3F+Eu+3F+3T
2. 3Lz+3T+3Lo
3. 3Lo+3T+3T
4. 3F+3T+3Lo
5. 3Lz+3Lo
6. 3Lz+3Lo+3Lo
7. 3F+Eu+3F
8. 3S+Eu+3F+3T
9. 3Lo+3Lo
10. 3S+3Lo+3T

Its fantastic!! I will never understand why ET did not upgrade and include Lo combo in 16-17 season. In this video she jumps so lightly...There was 3Lz+3T+3Lo, 3Lz+3Lo+3Lo,...it is obvious that the strength and capabilities of the body are there..
