Evgenia Armanovna Medvedeva (alt. spelling: Yevgenia Medvedeva;[1] Russian: Евгения Армановна Медведева, IPA: [jɪvˈɡʲenʲɪjə mʲɪˈdvʲedʲɪvə]; born 19 November 1999), is a retired competitive Russian figure skater. She is the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic silver medalist (2018 ladies' singles, 2018 team event), a two-time world champion (2016, 2017), a two-time European champion (2016, 2017), a two-time Grand Prix Final champion (2015, 2016), a two-time Russian national champion (2016, 2017), silver medalist at the 2018 European Figure Skating Championships and bronze medalist at the 2019 World Championships. Earlier in her career, she won the 2015 World Junior Championships, the 2014 Junior Grand Prix Final, and the 2015 Russian Junior Championships.[2]

Medvedeva is the first ladies' singles skater to win senior Worlds the year after winning Junior Worlds,[3] and the first ladies' singles skater to win two consecutive senior Worlds the year after winning Junior Worlds. At the 2017 World Championships, she became the first female skater to win back-to-back world titles in 16 years since Michelle Kwan did so in 2000 and 2001, and is currently the only Russian woman ever to successfully defend her world title.[4] She became one of only four ladies to achieve a Grand Slam (winning all the main competitions of the same season), and the first skater (all disciplines included) to complete two Grand Slams in a row (2015–2016; 2016–2017).

Under the ISU Judging System, she has set the world record score 13 times and is the first female skater to surpass the 80-point short program mark, the 160-point free skating mark, and the 230-point and the 240-point total mark.

Early and personal life

Evgenia's mother, Zhanna Medvedeva[5] (maiden name — Devyatova[6]), a former Russian figure skater who quit the sport aged 14,[7] and father Arman Babasyan, an Armenian businessman,[8][9] are divorced.[10] Both of her parents wanted her to practice figure skating to improve her figure.[10] She competes under the surname Medvedeva, which was the maiden name of her maternal grandmother. Her birth surname is Babasyan.[11][12] In 2017, she commenced her university studies and enrolled at the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism.[13] Since September 1, 2021 she is a student of Moscow State University.[14]

Medvedeva has stated that she has lepidopterophobia (fear of moths and butterflies).[citation needed] Her figure skating idols are Evgeni Plushenko and Yuna Kim.[15] She is known to friends as "Zhenya" and "Janny". Evgenia speaks English in addition to Russian, as well as basic Japanese.

She relocated to Toronto, Canada in mid-2018 and trained at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club until September 2020 when she rejoined her old coach in Russia, Eteri Tutberidze.[16]

She has two French Bulldogs, Jerry and Tofu. She said of Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, "this all [to end] as soon as possible, like a bad dream".[17]

Career

Early years

On the ice from the age of three, Medvedeva was taught initially by Elena Proskurina, Lubov Yakovleva, and Elena Selivanova.[10] Around 2007, she joined Eteri Tutberidze at the Olympic Reserve Sports School no. 37, renamed Sambo 70.[10]

Medvedeva made her senior national debut at the 2012 Russian Championships, finishing eighth, and then placed sixth on the junior level. She sustained an injury at the start of the following season and did not qualify for the senior Russian Nationals. She finished fourth behind Maria Sotskova at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships.

2013–2014 season: Junior international debut

Medvedeva's international debut came in the 2013–2014 season. Competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, she won gold first in Riga, Latvia, and then in Gdańsk, Poland.[2] She qualified to the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan, where she won the bronze medal behind Sotskova and Serafima Sakhanovich. At the 2014 Russian Championships, she finished seventh in her second senior appearance and then fourth on the junior level. Medvedeva was assigned to replace the injured Sotskova at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.[18] Placing third in both segments, she won the bronze medal while Elena Radionova and Sakhanovich took gold and silver respectively, producing Russia's second consecutive sweep of the World Junior ladies' podium.

2014–2015 season: World Junior champion

Medvedeva's first assignment of the 2014 JGP season was in Courchevel, France, where she won the gold medal by a margin of 21 points over silver medalist Rin Nitaya of Japan. At her second event, in Ostrava, Czech Republic, she placed second in both segments and edged Japan's Wakaba Higuchi for the gold by 1.44 points. She qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain, where she won gold, placing first in both the short program and free skate.

At the 2015 Russian Championships, she placed third in both segments and won the bronze medal, her first senior national medal, behind Elena Radionova and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. She then took gold at the 2015 Russian Junior Championships, finishing almost 20 points ahead of silver medalist Maria Sotskova.

At the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Medvedeva placed first after the short program and set a new world record of 68.48 points for junior ladies' short program. In the free program, she placed first again and won gold. She had no falls on the ice throughout the season in international events.

2015–2016 season: World and European titles

Medvedeva became age-eligible to compete at the senior international level for the 2015–2016 season. She started her season with a gold medal at the 2015 Ondrej Nepela Trophy, an ISU Challenger Series (CS) event in early October. Later that month, she competed at her first senior Grand Prix event – 2015 Skate America. Finishing first in the short program and second in the free skate, she won the gold medal ahead of Gracie Gold of the United States. Medvedeva won silver at her next Grand Prix assignment, the 2015 Rostelecom Cup, behind compatriot Elena Radionova.

Medvedeva at the 2015–16 Grand Prix Final podium

In December, at the Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain, Medvedeva placed first in both segments on her way to the gold medal, ahead of Satoko Miyahara, and became the fifth-youngest Grand Prix Final champion, at age 16.[19][20] At the end of the month, she won gold at the 2016 Russian Championships, ahead of silver medalist Radionova.

In January 2016, Medvedeva competed at her first senior-level ISU Championships, the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia. Finishing first in both short and free, she won the gold medal while her teammates Radionova (−5.46) and Anna Pogorilaya (−28.40) took silver and bronze respectively, producing the second consecutive Russian sweep of the podium.[21][22]

In March 2016, Medvedeva won the gold medal at the 2016 World Championships in Boston, United States. After finishing third in the short program, Medvedeva clinched the gold medal by winning the free skate with a world record score of 150.10, surpassing Yuna Kim's 150.06 mark.[23] Her overall score of 223.86 was a new personal best and was 8.47 points ahead of silver medalist Ashley Wagner. Having won the Junior World title in 2015, 16-year-old Medvedeva became the first ladies' singles skater to have ever won back-to-back Junior World Championships and senior World Championships. She matched Kimmie Meissner's feat in becoming the second skater in 23 years to win in her debut at the world championships, and is the youngest world figure skating champion (16 years, 4 months) under modern rules (since Tara Lipinski in 1997, not yet 15 at the time).[24] Medvedeva also became the second ladies skater to win the Grand Prix Final, Europeans, Worlds and her country's national championships all in one season (the other was countrywoman Irina Slutskaya).[25][26]

Medvedeva ranked first in both segments at the 2016 Team Challenge Cup in Spokane, Washington.[27] Team Europe finished in third place in the head-to-head competition and in second place in the main event. In addition to the two team medals, Medvedeva received prize money for the top ladies' short program score.[28]

2016–2017 season: Eight world records and second World title

Medvedeva began her Grand Prix season at the 2016 Skate Canada International. Ranked first in both segments, she won the gold medal ahead of Kaetlyn Osmond and Satoko Miyahara. She then placed first in both segments at the 2016 Trophée de France on her way to another GP title. She scored 78.52 points in the short program, the second highest score for a lady and just 0.14 from a world record held by Mao Asada. She collected 15 points from both events and qualified for the Grand Prix Final with maximum points.

At the Final in Marseille, France, Medvedeva became the world record holder for the ladies' short program score (79.21) previously held by Mao Asada. She also won the title with an overall score 9.33 points ahead of silver medalist Satoko Miyahara.[29] With the win, Medvedeva joined Irina Slutskaya, Tara Lipinski, Yuna Kim, and Mao Asada as the only ladies to win back-to-back Grand Prix Final titles.

In December 2016, Medvedeva defended her national title at the 2017 Russian Championships, despite the third jump of her 3S-3T-3T combination receiving no points. She stated, "Previously, the entire element would have received zero points, but now only the third triple toe would be discarded and I thought since I can do it, why not try?".[30] In January 2017, she competed at the European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Finishing first in both the short program and the free skate, she won the gold medal while her teammates Pogorilaya (−18.32) and Sotskova (−37.19) took silver and fourth place respectively. She also reset the free skate world record (previously held by herself) with a score of 150.79 and became the current world record holder for the ladies' combined total score (229.71), which was previously held by Yuna Kim.[31][32]

In March 2017, she competed at the World Championships, held in Helsinki, Finland. Ranked first in both segments, she set the world for record points in the free skate (154.40 points) and combined score (233.41 points), becoming the first female skater to break the 230-point mark in the combined total score. Her overall score was 15.28 points higher than silver medalist Kaetlyn Osmond. Medvedeva was the only skater in the competition to receive 10.00s in performance as part of the component score. She became the first female skater to win back-to-back world titles in 16 years (since Michelle Kwan in 2000 and 2001), and the first Russian woman ever to successfully defend her world title.[33]

In April 2017, Medvedeva competed on Team Russia at the 2017 World Team Trophy held in Tokyo, Japan. She placed first in the short program with a new world record score of 80.85, becoming the first female skater to break the 80-point mark for the ladies' short program score. She placed first again in the free skate with another world record score of 160.46, becoming the first female skater to break the 160-point mark for the ladies' free skating score. Medvedeva contributed the maximum 24 points and helped Team Russia win their second consecutive silver medal while Team Japan and Team USA won gold and bronze respectively. Even though the combined total score was not given at the event, ISU later ratified her combined world record total score of 241.31; thus, Medvedeva became the first female skater to break the 240-point mark in the combined total score. She stated, "I went out on the ice absolutely calm, there was no shadow of a doubt or lack of confidence in me.”[34]

2017–2018 season: 2018 Winter Olympics and coach change

Medvedeva continued her winning streak with a gold medal at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy in Bratislava, Slovakia.[35] However, after this competition she decided to change her long program to Anna Karenina, which debuted at the Japan Open. In mid-October, a few days before the 2017 Rostelecom Cup, she was diagnosed with a crack in the metatarsal bone in her right foot.[36] She won her Grand Prix event in Russia as well as the 2017 NHK Trophy, held a month later in Osaka, Japan. However, her foot injury forced her to withdraw from the Grand Prix Final and the Russian National Championship, and could not defend her title at either event.

At the 2018 Europeans, held in Moscow, Medvedeva finished second to teammate Alina Zagitova. On the next day, Sunday, January 21, she was named for the Russian Olympic team together with Zagitova and Sotskova.[37]

During Medvedeva's first performance of the 2018 Winter Olympics, at the ladies short program of the team event, she placed first with a record score of 81.06, a personal best and world record for ladies' short program.[38] The 10 points for the first place in the ladies' short program helped Russia to a silver medal in the team figure skating competition.[39]

In the individual event, Medvedeva ranked second in the short program with a score of 81.61, breaking another world record before it was surpassed by her teammate, Alina Zagitova. She then scored 156.65 points in the free skating program for a total of 238.26 points, putting her in second place behind Zagitova, who also scored 156.65 points in the free skating program for a total score of 239.57, and earning her an Olympic silver medal.[40]

On 7 May 2018, Medvedeva announced in a statement that she was ending her partnership with longtime coach Eteri Tutberidze and relocating to Toronto to train under coach Brian Orser. She would continue to represent Russia and her current club (Sambo 70) while training in Canada.[41] Medvedeva stated the reason for ending her partnership with former coach, Tutberidze, in an Instagram Live. She said that she 'left to work together with a coach like friends' [42] and that the move was not motivated by her wanting better results. She then went on to explain that whilst she did not exactly see herself as friends with her coach, she saw herself as working on same level as Orser and that mainly she left 'to hear, and to be heard.'[43]

2018–2019 season: Struggles and World bronze medal

Medvedeva at the 2018 Internationaux de France Gala

Medvedeva began her first season with her new coaches at Autumn Classic International where she placed first in the short program and second in the free, finishing in second place overall, behind Bradie Tennell and ahead of Maé-Bérénice Méité.

In October, Medvedeva began competing on that year's Grand Prix circuit. At the 2018 Skate Canada, she stepped out on a downgraded triple flip in the short program, missing her combination as a result and placing seventh. She placed first in the free skate to win the bronze medal behind Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Mako Yamashita.[44] She placed fourth at the 2018 Internationaux de France in November after several falls and under-rotations in both programs. It was the first time Medvedeva finished off an international podium in both her junior and senior career.[45]

Medvedeva and Brian Orser at the 2019 Russian Championships

Following the disappointment in France, Medvedeva replaced her original "Orange Colored Sky" short program with a new one choreographed by friend Misha Ge to selections from Giacomo Puccini's Tosca.[46] Skating next at the 2019 Russian Championships, her first public performance of the new program went poorly, underrotating the first part of a combination, popping the second jump, and falling on her closing double Axel. Despite this, she said she felt better than after the French Grand Prix.[47] In fourteenth place going into the free skate, she performed much better, despite a fall, placing fourth in the free to finish seventh overall, losing not just to junior competitors (who swept the podium), but also to seniors Stanislava Konstantinova, Alina Zagitova and Sofia Samodurova.[48] Speaking afterward she said "even though I made a mistake, I am pleased with today’s performance."[48]

She was named the second alternate for the European Championships and first alternate for the Winter Universiade; she was called up for the Winter Universiade after Elizaveta Tuktamysheva withdrew, but Medvedeva also withdrew and Maria Sotskova replaced Medvedeva. In February, at the 2019 Russian Cup Final, she won gold after placing first in the short program and second in the free. Medvedeva was selected for the 2019 World Figure Skating Championships team.[49]

At the 2019 World Championships, Medvedeva skated despite sustaining an injury in her thigh. She placed fourth in the short program after underrotating the second part of her combination jump.[50] She performed a clean free skate apart from an underrotated double Axel, placing third in that segment, and won the bronze medal.[51] She declined an invitation to the World Team Trophy, to recover from her injury.

2019–2020 season

Medvedeva at the 2019 CS Autumn Classic International

Medvedeva began the season with Autumn Classic International, where she finished second in both programs, winning the silver medal behind Rika Kihira.[52] At the Shanghai Trophy, she competed despite not having fully recovered from a high fever that had forced her to miss a week of training before the event.[53] She nonetheless placed first in the short program and second in the free skate to place first overall over Elizabet Tursynbaeva and Lim Eun-soo, winning her first international gold medal with coach Brian Orser and the first international gold medal since the NHK Trophy in 2017.[54]

Beginning on the Grand Prix, Medvedeva placed sixth in the short program at Skate Canada after an unsuccessful short program where she underrotated the second part of her triple flip-triple toe loop combination, stepped out of her double Axel, and fell on an underrotated triple Lutz.[55] She came back strongly the next day, placing third in the free skate after Alexandra Trusova and Kihira. Her score of 146.73 was a season's best, moving her up to fifth place overall.[56]


At the Rostelecom Cup in her hometown of Moscow, Medvedeva won the short program with a score of 76.93 points, a personal best under the new scoring system.[57] She skated a clean free skate, apart from an edge call on her Lutz, placing second in that segment and taking the silver medal behind Trusova with a new personal best total score of 225.76.[58]

At the 2020 Russian Championships, during early practices, one of Medvedeva's boots broke. Unable to find a substitute pair, she skated the short program on a broken boot and scored 71.08, finishing fifth behind Alena Kostornaia, Anna Shcherbakova, Trusova and Tuktamysheva. After experimenting to skate again with her broken boot during free skating practices, she and Brian Orser decided to withdraw from the competition and start preparing for the upcoming season.[59]

2020–2021 season

In April, Medvedeva travelled to Japan in preparation for her Sailor Moon show, which was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unable to return to her Canadian training base due to travel restrictions, she returned to Moscow in June, where she trained at the CSKA rink with Tatiana Tarasova.[60] At the time, Medvedeva was communicating with Orser via Skype and intended to return to Toronto when travel restrictions were eased.[61]

In early September, Medvedeva presented her new programs set to Masquerade Waltz and Alegría at the Russian test skates. She made mistakes in both programs and it was later revealed that she had sustained a chronic back injury.[62]

On 16 September 2020, Medvedeva announced that she would return to train under her former coaches, Eteri Tutberidze, Sergei Dudakov, and Daniil Gleikhengauz.[63] She and Orser parted ways on good terms.[64] According to Orser, Medvedeva possibly could have returned to Canada from Japan, but she was unwilling to travel back without her mother, who had a different visa than her and would not have been able to gain entry.[65]

Medvedeva was assigned to the first and second stages of the Russian Cup series, the qualifying series for the 2021 Russian Championships. However, she withdrew from both competitions and also did not compete at any of the later Russian Cup stages because of chronic back pain.[66] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Grand Prix assignments were mostly domestic ones made based on training location and/or nationality. As a result, Medvedeva was assigned to the 2020 Rostelecom Cup, but later withdrew due to inflammation of her back injury.[67]

In November, Medvedeva reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing symptoms.[68] She was admitted to the hospital with severe lung damage.[69] Medvedeva spent most of November and part of December recovering. She returned to training on 8 December and doctors advised her that she could not adequately prepare in two weeks for the 2021 Russian Championships at the end of the month, leading her to withdraw from Nationals.[70] However, she was healthy enough to attend and watch Nationals, and also performed during the exhibition gala.

On 14 May 2021, Medvedeva was not included on the Russian national team for the 2021–22 season.[71]

2021–2022 season: Retirement from competition

In June, Medvedeva was not assigned any events on the 2021–22 Grand Prix series. On 5 August, she announced her intention to skip the upcoming season, thus ending her bid for a second Olympic team.[72] On 1 December 2021, Medvedeva announced that she had ended her competitive skating career due to a chronic back injury.[73][74]

Skating technique

For jump abbreviations, see figure skating jumps.
Medvedeva performing a Lutz at the 2018 Winter Olympics

Medvedeva commonly performs almost all of her jumps with an arm over her head, a technique called the "Tano" variation, first popularized by Brian Boitano as part of his triple Lutz jump. She performs several jump combinations ending with a triple toe loop, such as the 3F-3T, 3S-3T, 3Lo-3T and 2A-3T. She is also known for practicing various triple-triple-triple and triple-triple-triple-triple jump combinations. In the 2016–2017 season, Medvedeva also frequently utilized the "Rippon" variation which involves doing jumps with both arms over the head. In the 2018–19 season, Medvedeva also started including the triple loop jump on the end of a combination such as the 3S-3Lo. She has also performed 2A-3Lo, 3Lo-3Lo and 3F-3Lo in practices. She also commonly performs a cross grab I-position spiral towards the centre of the rink near the end of her programs.
