Here’s a translation of Evgenia’s comment.
“Have you ever been suspended from training? Were there any disciplinary punishments?
Evgenia Medvedeva: Do 200 grams on the scale count? It happened to me once when I was 4 years old. My mom told the story. I didn’t have any tricks like, ‘That’s it, I’m quitting, go to hell.’ This happened to me literally a couple of years ago.
I was a 4-year-old little. The coach scolded me for something, nothing was working out. I walked off the rink, took my skates, and threw them in the trash. My mom and grandmother approached from around the corner, retrieved the skates from the trash, and put them back. The next day, I came to the rink as usual.
Was there ever a point where you were really exhausted? It’s a sport, with all the traveling…
Evgenia Medvedeva: Traveling is a break, you know? No one bothers you on the plane; it’s wonderful. You sleep, listen to music.
So, there was no burnout? You never wanted to quit the sport?
Evgenia Medvedeva: No, never,” said the two-time world champion in figure skating.”
