Evgenia Medvedeva

Perseverance, multiplied by Zhenya's dedication and hard work, soon bore the first fruits. At the age of 12, Evgenia Medvedeva was enrolled in the Russian national team. After 2 years, in the 2013/2014 season, the girl received the right to participate in international junior competitions.

Medvedeva's sports debut took place in Latvia, where she performed at the Grand Prix stage among juniors. Evgeniya won 1st place. At the tournament in Poland, the girl won again. But what fierce competition is, Zhenya understood in Japan. Here the skater managed to snatch the 3rd step of the podium. The first two places went to compatriots.

New victories of the talented figure skater were not long in coming. Evgenia Medvedeva took part in the Russian Championship in 2014. The young athlete managed to take 7th place among adult figure skaters and 4th place in the group of juniors.

March of the same year turned out to be more successful, he brought Zhenya a silver medal at the Russian Figure Skating Cup in the senior category.

In the 2014/2015 season, Evgeny Medvedev will again succeed. The figure skater won 2 stages of the Grand Prix Cup in Barcelona among juniors. In the same 2015, rich in pleasant events, Zhenya won the 3rd place. But at the junior championship, the girl received gold. Medvedeva was sent to the second World Junior Championships in her sports career in Tallinn. And gold again. This is the natural result of labor and an extremely difficult struggle that Evgenia endured with dignity.

The fall of 2015 was marked for the athlete by the transition to adult figure skating. Zhenya showed an excellent result at the open international tournament in Slovakia - the Ondrej Nepela Memorial. A few weeks later, the skater brilliantly performs in the American Milwaukee, having passed the test of strength in the first adult competition in the Grand Prix series. Here Evgenia won 1st place.

The girl was helped to win not only by her technical training, but also by her ability to brightly present the image. The skater's charisma and personality helped her make a revolution in single skating. This was largely due to the programs that Ilya Averbukh put on Eugene since 2015.

"We have disagreements, sometimes we find a compromise": Orser about stubbornness, diligence and quadruple salchow ...

The results of performances at the previous stages of the Grand Prix allow Zhenya to reach the final. In Barcelona, ​​the skater won, ahead of two strong rivals - Japanese Mao Asad and Elena Rodionova. The Gold Medal is an award for perfect rolling. Another gold was waiting for Evgenia Medvedev at the Russian Championship.

On February 2, 2016, the skater could not hold back the happy tears from the emotions that overwhelmed her. At the European Championships in Bratislava, Zhenya won 1st place and ascended the podium. It is noteworthy that the other two leading positions are also occupied by Russian figure skaters. Once again, the girls had to prove that Russian athletes are the strongest at the 2016 World Cup.

At the championship of the planet, Evgenia Medvedeva becomes the champion. At a performance in Boston with a free program, the girl scored a record 150.10 points and left her rivals far behind her.

Eugenia broke the previous world record set by Korean Kim Yu Na at the 2010 Olympics - 150.06 points. Silver at the championship went to American citizen Ashley Wagner, bronze went to Russia as Anna Pogorila's award. That season, the skater won all major starts, including the Grand Prix finals and the European Championship.

In April 2016, Evgenia Medvedeva received the title of Master of Sports, which was announced in a solemn atmosphere by the Minister of Sports of Russia Vitaly Mutko. The statesman thanked the skaters who participated in the World Cup for their results and recalled the preparations for the upcoming 2018 Olympic Games. Medvedeva's coach Eteri Tutberidze was presented with a certificate of honor from the sports department of the Russian Federation.

The beginning of 2017 brought Evgenia Medvedeva new prizes - a gold medal at the European Championship in the Czech Republic, as well as 1st place on the podium at the World Championship held in Finland. In April, Evgenia Medvedeva became the author of a new world record in Tokyo, having received 80.85 points in the short program.

The figure skater continued her rapid ascent to the Olympus of world fame. Medvedeva became the second in the world after Canadian athlete Alain Chartran, who performs jumping elements in the second half of her performance. The last trick that the skater mastered was a jump with her hands up.

With another victory, the skater pleased the fans and the coaching staff in early September 2017. Evgenia performed at the Ondrej Nepela Memorial in Bratislava (Slovakia), where she scored 80.00 points in the short program, losing a few hundredths to her own world record.

However, at the test rental in Sochi, the girl made blots in the free program. Experts argued that a slight decline in physical fitness is necessary before the decisive breakthrough at the 2018 Olympics.

In January 2018, Evgenia Medvedeva, who survived an injury on the eve of the competition, and Alina Zagitova competed for the championship at the European Championships in Moscow. Having made a mistake in the short program, Zhenya lost, and Zagitova became the European champion for the first time.

At the 2018 Olympics in Korea, Russia won silver medals largely thanks to Evgenia's performance.

On February 21, 2018, the entire Olympic Pyeongchang froze: competitions in the individual championships of female figure skaters started. After the rental of the short program, Evgenia Medvedeva broke her own world record, gaining 81.61 points. However, after Alina Zagitova, thanks to the most difficult program, broke Zhenya's record, gaining 82.92 points.

On February 23, 2018, competitions in the free program took place. Thanks to tactics, Alina Zagitova turned out to be stronger: right during the rental, the girl, due to a tiny blot, abandoned the most difficult element, pushing it a few seconds later. As a result, Alina brilliantly coped with the dance and became the Olympic champion, gaining 239.57 points. Evgenia Medvedeva with a score of 238.26, having lost a little over a point, was the second.

It should be noted that Zhenya's performances were among the most beautiful in the competition. Subsequently, the skater admitted that she was imbued with the image of Anna Karenina, which became the prototype of her act of the same name. Zhenya went out on the ice, like the heroine of a novel to an approaching train.

In the spring of 2018, Medvedeva became co-host of Alexei Yagudin on the First Channel show “Ice Age. Children".

In early April, Evgenia Medvedeva decided to change her coach. The figure skater said that her decision was connected with the desire to "use new opportunities and other methods of the training process and continue to represent Russia at the highest level." The athlete chose Canadian Brian Orser as the new mentor, guided by the example of Kim Yoo Na, who won the Olympic Games in Vancouver and in Sochi won the silver medal.

By the Games in Beijing, Medvedeva turned 22, and Orser led more than one age skater to major victories.

According to Eteri, Zhenya did not personally inform her of her decision. Tutberidze learned about Medvedeva's transition to another coach only from the news in May 2018. Evgenia refused to answer the question about the relationship with Alina Zagitova.

Brian Orser told reporters that Medvedeva announced the decision to go to him back in April in Seoul. After meeting with the skater and her mother, the parties came to an agreement.

Eugenia's first performance after moving overseas was the Autumn Classic International Challenger tournament. In the competition, the Russian woman lost only to the American champion and the bronze medalist of the Olympic Games in Korea in team competition Brady Tennell.

At the test skates of the Russian national team before the start of the 2018/2019 season, Medvedeva demonstrated what her new mentor taught her. Evgenia, according to the experts present, improved his glide, the skater perfected the performance of the previously problematic axel, but lengthened the approach to the jump.

Some starts were difficult for Zhenya, who was experiencing adaptation, getting used to the new coach, approach and training conditions. In the 2018/2019 season, she was unable to qualify for the Grand Prix finals. At the Russian Championship, Medvedeva unsuccessfully skated the short program, taking only 7th final place. The athlete was announced for the 2019 European Championship only as a substitute.

In the final of the Russian Cup, Zhenya fought for the right to get to the 2019 World Cup in Japan. The figure skater took 1st place. When forming the Russian national team to participate in the world championship in Saitama, the FFKKR decided to send Evgenia from Russia, and not Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, who achieved much better results in the season. This decision drew a flurry of criticism.

In March 2019, at the World Championships in Japan, Genet finally conquered the podium. After the short program, she took 4th position, however, having skated a free free program, Zhenya eventually won a bronze medal. Alina Zagitova won the title of world champion for the first time, gaining 237.50 points.

Elizabeth Tursynbaeva from Kazakhstan sensationally won the silver medal (237.5 points). Many fans noted that the return of the very Zhenya, whom everyone loves and knows, took place in Saitama.

In the 2019/2020 season, the choreographers of the numbers for Evgenia Medvedeva were Ilya Averbukh, Jeffrey Buttle, She-Lynn Bourne. For the free program, the athlete chose the image of a geisha. Music from the film "Memoirs of a Geisha" was used as musical accompaniment.

The new numbers helped the skater to win the 2nd place at the Canadian Autumn Classic International tournament, which is part of the Challenger series. The gold of the competition went to the Japanese athlete Rika Kihira. Complaints about Medvedeva's performance in the free program were presented by the technical panel of judges, which noted various shortcomings in the performance of complex elements.

Autumn performances at the Grand Prix stages in Canada and Russia did not bring high results to Evgenia, so she could not qualify for the final of the competition. In December, the figure skater performed at the Russian Championship, which was held in Krasnoyarsk.

After a short program due to a broken boot, Medvedeva decided to star in a free program. Later, the champion went on the ice with a demonstration performance. As a result of the competition, the skater was not included in the national team of the European Championship, which was held in early 2020 in Graz.

On her personal Instagram account, the skater announced new music for the next free program. It was the Cirque du Soleil track. Medvedeva's performances in Mexico City were scheduled for March 2020.

The figure skater is actively exploring new horizons for her creativity. For several years now, Evgenia has been collaborating with the ice show of Ilya Averbukh, and on the New Year's holidays 2020 she played the role of the girl Dorothy in the ice fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz".

On the eve of the holidays, the athlete announced the creation of the Evgenia Medvedeva online store, where products of various categories with original designs are presented. Today, the sportswoman's team is actively developing new merchandise, increasing the range of the online store.

Evgenia Medvedeva is a Russian figure skater who, from the moment she first appeared on the ice at international competitions, was considered a trendsetter. She, as the media wrote, changed the perception of women's single skating in the "ossified minds of judges" who did not see the elements of the personality of athletes behind the rolling years. Moreover, they resisted when the skater tried to be different.

Evgenia was born in Moscow in November 1999. Father Arman Babasyan is an artist, entrepreneur from Armenia, mother Zhanna Medvedeva is a former figure skater, due to an injury she ended her sports career ahead of time, although she already managed to become a prize-winner of the Moscow championship.

The girl's parents met while being employees of Soyuzmultfilm. Jeanne worked as an assistant director, and Armand got a job as an assistant artist. In the family, Zhenya was the only child. She was born 8 months old, so she needed special care. Now the girl often communicates with her cousin Karina Babasyan. The parents were unable to save the marriage, but remained on friendly terms.

The surname of Medvedev went to Evgenia from her maternal grandmother. Her skater changed after she left the first coach. Mom determined the future of her daughter when she brought a 3-year-old girl to the figure skating section.

Since then, Evgenia Medvedev has been in sports. Judging by the biography of the skater, she did not have a familiar childhood with dolls and games with the yard children, but Zhenya never wanted to leave difficult classes at the rink.

Lyubov Yakovleva became the first coach of Evgenia Medvedeva. When she went on maternity leave, the young figure skater got to Elena Selivanova. In 2007, the parents decided to transfer their daughter to the Eteri Tutberidze group. According to Zhenya, at the age of 8 she was still a "raw" skater, and Eteri Georgievna made a lot of efforts to turn a diamond into a diamond.

At the age of 9, Evgenia Medvedeva already knew that her whole future life was figure skating, sports. The girl never dreamed of becoming someone else other than a skater.

The girl has a hobby for which there is not so much time left - Evgenia Medvedeva loves to draw. She claims that, if not for figure skating, she might have chosen the profession of a makeup artist.

The girl herself, even on a day off, will not forget about makeup. Eugene is especially worried about the quality of manicure. Even if the nail breaks during the evening workout, the athlete will take the time and redo everything at the master so that her hands look perfect.

In everyday clothes, Medvedeva is unpretentious. Her favorite style is casual, and jeans are her favorites. Cowboy hats, sweatshirts with zippers, checkered shirts - all this is present in the champion's wardrobe, but she also does not forget about feminine dresses, high-quality jewelry and accessories. The only drawback of luxurious clothes is that Evgenia has nowhere to wear it: the girl does not visit nightclubs and noisy events.

Evgeniya has her own Instagram page, where she uploads photos and videos of performances and trips around the world. By nature, the pictures are mostly business, the expected images of an athlete in a swimsuit cannot be found there. The official group of the champion “Evgenia Medvedeva forever” operates on VKontakte, where the latest news from other accounts is duplicated.

Zhenya is pleased with her trips to Japan, which she told fans on the Web. The girl is a fan of anime culture and even calls herself an otaku. In the Land of the Rising Sun, the skater has repeatedly acted in the form of Sailormoon, who, according to the fans, is very fit for the miniature Zhenya (height 159 cm, weight 41 kg).

The change of coach in 2018 was linked by the media to changes in the athlete's personal life, in particular, with the desire to be closer to the Olympic record holder, male single skating star Yuzuru Hanyu. Rumors were dispelled by the Japanese figure skater himself, in a harsh form answering journalists' questions that he was shocked by such articles.

Zhenya hastened to remove photos from Yuzuru's joint from Instagram. By the way, back in 2017, Medvedeva admitted that Hanyu is only a close friend and she hopes to perform with the champion in the ice show. And at competitions, athletes are always there, because in other situations there is no way to communicate.

In the summer of 2018, the former soloist of Fidget, Christian Kostov, was added to Evgenia's lovers. The young man took part in the show “Voice. Children ", represented Bulgaria at Eurovision-2017. Young people met on a program dedicated to this song contest. Later, Eugene and Christian announced that they are friends.

Later, the reason for rumors about the skater's new boyfriend was her joint photos with the Moldovan skater Lilian Bynzar. But Evgenia quickly calmed down the ardor of curious fans: she said that the athlete lives and trains in Canada at the Cricket Club, like Medvedev herself. And he is much younger than Zhenya - in 2019 the guy celebrated his 15th birthday.
