Canadian coach Brian Orser has explained why Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva has stopped working with him.
“Medvedeva really wanted to train in Canada. She went to the show in Japan and could only return to Russia. After that, she got sick with covid, felt terrible, then decided to stop playing. Evgenia wrote to me about it. It was very kind and polite of her that I learned it from her and not from others.
Evgenia continues to give a lot to figure skating, even now having become a professional. She interacts well with fans, comments on TV, takes part in the show … She is awesome. Medvedeva can also work as a figure skating analyst.
I remember how I accompanied her to the Russian Grand Prix in the fall of 2019, during her last full tournament. Then, in my opinion and in the opinion of many experts, she achieved her best performance of her entire career “, quotes the specialist. “Championship.com”.
Medvedeva won two silver medals at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, won two gold medals at the world championships, won the continental championships twice and won the Grand Prix final twice. Last season, the skater did not participate in official competitions due to a back injury and coronavirus.
Formerly Evgenia Medvedeva answered the questionwhether she will switch to pair skating.
