Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva shared her thoughts on Kazakh fans’ comments after she posted support for Russian skaters following the Olympic men’s event, emphasizing her admiration for Mikhail Shaidorov’s victory and clarifying her intentions. Here’s a translation.
“I posted on a banned social network (Instagam) in support of our skaters – Adelia Petrosian and Petr Gumennik. Naturally, I said there that, in my opinion, Petya could have been on the podium. And for some reason, Kazakh fans started commenting, saying, ‘Oh, when will you all calm down? The strongest wins. Our Misha is great.’
No one is saying Misha isn’t great. Misha delivered a truly brilliant free skate, which was undeniably the best of all. We all admire this guy, his results, and his contribution to his country. Honestly, I just wished our Petya could have placed a bit higher, but these things aren’t mutually exclusive. So please, there’s no need to make a fuss about it,” Medvedeva said.
