Here’s a translation of Evgenia Medvedeva’s comments made during the interview with Alexandra Trusova.
“Evgenia Medvedeva: I went abroad to another coach, and it happened quickly. It was easier for me to be around people who wouldn’t say ‘I’m sorry, but you’re still an Olympic champion for me.’
I was running away from that atmosphere and the expectation that everyone would feel obligated to come up to me, pat me on the shoulder, and say, ‘But you still… if there was a second gold, I would give it to you, of course,'” said the two-time world champion.
Evgenia Medvedeva also shared details about the first luxury item she bought.
“Evgenia Medvedeva: Have you ever made a significant purchase, like buying an apartment or some Rolex watches that symbolize your earnings and what you can afford?
For me, it was a Cartier ring that served as such a symbol. It was the first luxury item I allowed myself to buy, something to look at and understand: I have this, went to the boutique, bought it myself, paid in cash. It’s important for me to realize that I have something like this, and it doesn’t affect my financial well-being,” said Medvedeva.
