Medvedeva was trained by Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov until 2018 . In May of the same year it was announced that she will be looked after by the Canadian Brian Orser in the future .

Private life

Yevgenia Medvedeva's father, Arman Babasjan, is an Armenian businessman, and her mother Shanna is a former Russian figure skater. Her parents are divorced. The Russian took the maiden name of her maternal grandmother. She has a sister, Karina Babasjan. Since 2017 she has been studying at the Russian State University for Physical Culture, Sport, Youth and Tourism in Moscow .

Athletic career

Medvedeva started ice skating at the age of three. Her first trainers were Jelena Proskurina, Lyubow Jakowlewa and Jelena Seliwanowa. In 2008, Eteri Tutberidze became her trainer at Olympic Reserve School No. 37, which was later renamed Sambo 70.

She made her senior-level debut at the 2012 Russian National Championships, where she finished eighth. She made her international debut in the 2013/14 season in the “ISU Junior Grand Prix” series, where she won in Latvia and Poland. At the grand prix final of the season she won the bronze medal in the junior class.

Medvedeva won the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn . In the 2015/16 season she was allowed to compete for the first time with the adults. Medvedeva won the CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy in Bratislava in early October 2015 . She won Skate America 2015 at the end of October . At the beginning of December she won the Grand Prix Final 2015-16 in Barcelona, ​​and at the end of December the Russian Women's Championship. In January Medvedeva won the European Figure Skating Championships 2016 in Bratislava. At the end of March, Medvedeva ran for the title at the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships in Boston. After the 2015 Junior World Championships, she immediately won the 2016 Adult World Championships the following year, something that no woman had ever achieved before.

In the 2016/17 season, Medvedeva achieved a perfect record with exceptional performance consistency, with three victories in the Grand Prix competitions, the title defenses in the national championship, the European and World Championships and individual victories in three team competitions.

At the European Figure Skating Championships in Moscow in 2018 , she ran into second place behind her teammate Alina Sagitova , who became European champion. The next day Medvedeva was appointed to the Russian Olympic team.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , the Russian started the short program of the team competition , where she ran both her personal and world records with 81.06 points. She and her team won the silver medal in this competition. In the women's singles , she placed second behind her compatriot Sagitowa after the short program. The best performance in the freestyle (156.65 points) was not enough to win the gold medal. Medvedeva had to be satisfied again with the silver medal behind Sagitova.

At the 2019 World Championships in Saitama , she won the bronze medal after a previously not particularly successful season.

Records and running style

Medvedeva holds the world records according to the ISU point system for freestyle and overall ranking in women's figure skating. In doing so, she set a total of eleven records and exceeded several threshold values ​​for the first time: the 80 point mark in the short program, 160 points in the freestyle and 230 and 240 points in the overall ranking.

A trademark of Medvedeva is the "Tano" jumping technique, named after Brian Boitano , with the arm raised above her head, which she uses for most of her jumps and with which she achieves bonus points for technical execution (GOE).
