That’s true. I don’t read a lot of articles and posts on social media, but in that case it’s very hard not to see all these headlines and comments saying that she is traitor, should have never left Eteri, who is the best coach ever because her 14yo girls can do quads, made a mistake of her life, is arrogant and unfriendly, has gained weight andThings are tough for Medvedeva at the moment. I was just browsing through some Russian language news websites for skating news (on google translate) and there are so many articles picking apart everything she does and trying to accuse her of being unpatriotic at every turn. She'd know the media are waiting for blood. It's not like skating in other countries where a failure at a competition just results in maybe a sentence in the bottom of a small article. It's big news. That must affect Medvedeva's psyche a lot.
Am still not a fan of Evgenia’s skating, but I really feel sorry for her. She is just a 19 yo young lady, who made one of the hardest decision to completely change her (and her family’s) life, to move to another country, to change literally everything. And am not even talking about the fact that no one deserves to be trashed like this.
I think that she just needs time to adjust to everything and to believe in herself once again.
