I'm happy Tat is working with her. And I cannot wait to see her new short program, Masquerade.
All of this excites me!!
I'm happy Tat is working with her. And I cannot wait to see her new short program, Masquerade.
Tracy and Brian are currently on a youtube livestream with Pj Kwong. Brian said that he has 2,3,4 sessions with Zhenya per week. Today she is working with Tatiana Tarasova on polishing her short program.
TAT: "Zhenya has completely restored all her elements, which she owns, she is in good shape, she works a lot and with great desire, as always, probably because I have never worked with her. And now I help as I can. We are trying," Tarasova said by phone.

More from TAT:
“We are trying, working, but it’s too early to sum up any results, I just help her with the programs, go to one workout a day and go with pleasure. Both programs are ready, now we are perfecting the short program"

I'm happy that Tat is helpping ... but maybe she could get her a jump coach because that's what she needs to win
Translation of Zhenya's post about Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya and depression: https://twitter.com/MedvedevaNation/status/1285196150593781760
It's an important message and I'm glad she shared it.
Interview with famous designer Natalia Bolshakova. She talked a lot about the psychological violence towards skaters and athletes in general in Russia and other countries, especially the treatment female skaters receive in the sport. She often sees things during fittings that others do not see.
She was also asked about Zhenya:
"Q: Do you like how Evgenia Medvedeva has changed outwardly after moving to Canada?
A: Definitely - yes. In general, I like everything that happens to Zhenya. Having gone through all this harsh dictatorship, she was able to retain her personality. And this is almost unrealistic in the conditions of Russian figure skating. The words of Masha Sotskova and Betina Popova only confirm this."

I went back to happy Worlds 2019 memories of people gushing over Zhenya and thought I‘d share:
First off, Misha and Gabriella Papadakis (in the comments) admiring Zhenya‘s fire when she skates.

Then Jonathan Van Ness (his Netflix show Queer Eye - where, btw, he mentioned Zhenya once - is really positive and funny) bringing the biggest stan energy when Zhenya was confirmed to be on the Worlds team.

Another person admiring Zhenya‘s fire. This time Queen Mae.

I also love this follow up comment from her:
“Knowing the power house that she is, I saw it coming. Been saying that since the beginning of the season. Will keep saying that : watch out, Janny's rebirth is gonna be SPICEYYYYY“
(Someone had commented that Zhenya‘s medal was a big surprise)
And here‘s Javi saying many nice things about Zhenya (starting from 15:00)

And that‘s just the few things I found by skimming through some old posts.
not sure if these photos were posted here, I've never seen them before, but they are great

Wow. I love them. The one where she is wearing an aqua blue top is really nice.
Someone in my last post comments asked me “what was your gala number “Experience” about?”
And I realized that lots of you was looking at this gala with a really wrong sight.
“Experience” was about my first relationships. About a pain when your the most favorite person is leaving you at the worst time of your life and you realize that all was just a game to make him feel better. It’s about the struggle of losing a person but of an anger and feeling helpless at the same time.
I had different ends of this number. Depended of a current condition of that relationship. But the last one finished sad.
Take a look at my “Experience” with a right eye.
Not everything is about career.
Real life hits hard too.
