I would place Evgenia over Yuna. Evgenia won either gold or silver in her entire senior career, while Yuna was sometimes the 3rd on the podium.
Since both have similar results I’d placed them about equal mostly due to Evgenia’s ability to frequently skate two clean programs but when I thought it about, she does it less often than I’d thought: she’s never had a clean GP or Challenger event and she’s made mistakes at Europeans in 2016 and 2018, and the GPF in 2016, and a slight error at 2016 Worlds.
She still skates clean slightly more often than Yuna did, and unlike Yuna she has two consecutive World titles, but Yuna was able to rise above her rivals to win her first Olympics, whereas Evgenia came away with silver. So both show their cleanest skates at the highest pressure competitions, but Yuna’s overall results were better to me, and she trended up where Med lost ground over the same period of their careers.
We’d be able to make a better comparison if Med makes it to Beijing.
