[ad_1]

Two-time world champion and European silver medalist at the Games, Medvedev was unable to qualify for the Grand Prix Final – 2018.

– I'm really sorry for her. Last season was extremely difficult for Zhenya, – quotes RT Bukin. "In the beginning, she was injured and then second at the Pkhenchkhane Olympics." For the moment, Medvedev is psychologically broken. She needs to work on this problem. It is clear that technically he is able to perform the most complex elements, but only if the head is bright.

– Where did the ease with which Medvedev performed even the most difficult jumps disappeared?

– Let's start with the fact that Eugene is no longer a little girl, like those who are now silently jumping quadruple jumps. But girls eventually become girls and this transition is very difficult for skaters. Change size, weight. We must put the technique, based on these changes. Twist should be different, and jump – above.

It's one thing when a quadruple jumps a child weighing between 25 and 30 kg and another when it comes to a 45 kg girl. You have to make other efforts to send your body to the height that allows you to cope with a multi-turn jump.

– What should she do to tackle the Russian championship in good shape?

– Medvedeva should pbad serenely through this period. Wake up and attend workouts to continue working with the current weight, size and volume.

– She says that the problems lie exclusively in the mentality.

– The mentality probably also plays a role. Medvedev, apparently, has not completely suffered a defeat at the Olympics. For her, this has proved too difficult from a psychological point of view and the coaching change has become an additional problem. Eugenia had to rebuild to start again. In such situations, the athlete must always break down.
