The two-time world champion continues to get on the ice, participate in performances. During one of the recent training sessions, Evgenia performed a triple salchow. However, Medvedev refuses serious competitions. It turned out that the 23-year-old athlete has been suffering from back problems for a long time. Between career and health, the skater chose the latter.
“I didn’t want to stop competing. I have big problems with my back. The nerves in my back had to be removed as well (it’s called denervation) but it still didn’t help. At the age of 18-19 the pain was constant, at a certain point I just couldn’t physically pull anymore my level. That’s why it was decided to add professional sports. I really miss competitions, on the other hand, life is calmer without them,” Medvedeva explained.

In 2018, there were rumors that Evgenia might change her citizenship and play for Armenia. Now, such a move would allow Medvedeva, as well as other athletes, to resume performances in international competitions. However, the Olympic silver medalist assured that such talk about her does not correspond to reality.
“I never even thought about it. I was born and raised in Russia. This country has given me everything I have at this moment. But I will not deny my Armenian roots. Maybe we’ll come up with an ice show sometime. I would be interested in visiting Yerevan. And about changing citizenship – that’s everyone’s business. This happens all the time. In any sport, “said Evgenia.
One of the most discussed incidents in recent years was the departure of Dani Milokhin from the Ice Age. The blogger left the project in which Medvedeva was his partner. Despite this, Evgenia does not hold a grudge against Danya. However, she does not maintain a relationship with him.
“He did what he did. We are not currently in a relationship. We just don’t communicate. I want to note that we did not swear and there was no conflict between us, “Evgenia added in an interview with Hello.
