Evgenia Medvedeva, also known as Evgenia Babasyan (born November 19, 1999), is a Russian figure skater. She is a two-time World champion (2016 & 2017), a two-time European champion (2016 & 2017), a two-time Grand Prix Final champion (2015-16 & 2016-17), and the 2016 and 2017 Russian national champion. Additionally, on the junior level, she is the champion of the 2015 World Junior Championships and 2014-15 JGP Final. She currently holds the record of the highest senior freeskate score and highest junior short program score.
Personal Life
Evgenia's hobbies include studying foreign languages, drawing, and listening to music.
Evgenia spends 6 days of the week practicing, arriving at the rink through the metro, and completing schoolwork when not physically active. Schoolwork poses a challenge, as Evgenia is frequently exhausted from her training.
Despite being among the most decorated figure skaters, Evgenia is rarely recognized in public.
Early Career
Evgenia's mother is a former figure skater, and Evgenia was introduced to figure skating to correct her posture. Her current coach, Eteri Tutberidze, initially considered her skills to be inferior to that of other students. She had a tendency to fall frequently, and in an attempt to stop this habit, Tutberidze would drag her across the ice. Afraid of being heaved again, Evgenia developed an impeccable jumping technique.
