Medvedeva believed that Russian figure skaters are popular in Asia because of their appearance
World and European champion Evgenia Medvedeva named the reason for the popularity of Russian figure skaters in Asia. She spoke about this in an interview with Lenta.ru.
Medvedeva believed that it had to do with the appearance of the athletes and the local culture. “The Russian figure skaters are all perfect – thin, slender, young, with beautiful faces, wearing sparkles. This is due to the culture of anime drawing. A little girl rolled up Sailor Moon and everyone was like, ‘Wow, she really looks like her,’” the athlete said.

In addition, Medvedeva noted that sports and champions are respected in Asia. “The same Yuzuru Hanyu in Japan is simply a demigod. He can’t go outside calmly. Everyone knows him, everyone loves him! In general, this is the attitude towards sports,” the figure skater summed up.
On October 20, Medvedeva answered a question about sex before the competition. The athlete admitted that she did not have the opportunity to check how sex affects performances. “All my conscious life I have had either a woman or a man who does not prefer women. And accreditation was given only to the athlete and the coach,” she explained.
Medvedeva is a two-time world and European champion. At the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, the figure skater won two silver medals – in team and individual competitions. At the moment, she has completed her career and runs her own YouTube channel.
