Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Sports journalist Elena Vaitsekhovskaya answered the question why Evgenia Medvedeva could not win gold at the 2018 Olympics, losing to Alina Zagitova.

“Medvedeva lost because she participated in the European Championships. It was a strategic mistake. After losing the European Championships, she no longer had an argument in her favor to win the Olympic Games.

With a faultless run from Zagitova, she had no chance of winning these Olympics,” Vaitsekhovskaya quotes the championship.

It should be noted that neither Zagitova nor Medvedev have announced their retirement yet.
