Athletistic / Figure skating. Former Russian figure skater, silver medalist at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang (South Korea), Evgenia Medvedeva told how her attitude towards Olympic medals has changed.

“Not so long ago, a friend came to me and told me about the Olympic medals – and I remembered that they existed. But now I understand that it is just a piece of metal .An object with rings.

Medvedeva spoke about her emotional state after the transition from Tutberidze to Orser

At that point, a cognitive dissonance has occurred that this particular object is a confirmation of your path. But I realized that wasn’t true at all. My values ​​have changed, my priorities have changed. Now there is neither joy nor sorrow, when I hold the medals I feel nothing. “I live in a different time,” the figure skater said in the autobiographical film.
