Figure skater Medvedeva called her move to Canada “a step into the abyss” – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

According to her, moving to another country was not easy. She and her mother even brought buckwheat, matches and honey, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

“It was like a step into the abyss… but a person adapts to everything. In six months you can get used to it. But at first it was not easy,” he said.

The figure skater has not competed since 2020, participating in ice shows.

Evgenia Medvedeva is a two-time silver medalist at the 2018 Olympic Games (individual and team competitions), two-time world champion (2016, 2017), two-time European champion (2016, 2017), two-time Russian champion ( 2016, 2017).

She became the first figure skater in history to score over 160 points in the free skate, over 80 points in the short program, and over 240 points overall.
