American journalist David Lees called figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva the new Tatiana Tarasova. He stated this in a podcast on the YouTube channel TheSkatingLesson.
“Evgenia grew up, and, as I predicted, she became the same as Tatyana Tarasova and Irina Rodnina,” said Lis. He noted the work of the skater on the First Channel as a specialist in the studio. Lis stressed that Medvedeva knew what to do and say, and with her confidence pushed the Olympic champion Alina Zagitova into the background.
Lis compared the Russian championship to a reality show with gladiators. “We saw narcissism, struggle for life, fraud and robbery,” the journalist noted and stressed that this was manifested not only in the struggle of athletes, but also in the commentary on the competition.
On December 1, Medvedeva said that she actually ended her career due to injuries. According to the skater, last year she was serious about continuing to compete, but back problems forced her to end the sport.
Medvedeva is a two-time world and European champion. At the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, the athlete won a silver medal, losing to Zagitova.
