At the 2018 Olympics, Medvedeva finished second and Zagitova won the gold medal.
“In the duel between Zhenya Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova, in my heart I was on Zhenya’s side, because we worked with Zhenya for two seasons, Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze) entrusted me with her direction as a choreographer. Of course , I won’t hide it, I supported Zhenya, because I already felt her, I understood her, I loved her very much. Now she has changed a lot, she has such depth, very interesting and important.
Ilya Averbukh: “Shcherbakova is too positive a hero, the fans want him more keenly”
We continue to work with Zhenya, so I will not say here that the main thing for me is the Russian medal. I supported Zhenya and Alina knows it. However, that doesn’t stop me from saying that Alina is an exceptional figure skater. But I am sure that Eteri Georgievna did everything for both girls, they knew how to play on the ice – hundredths separated them. So it was necessary,” Averbukh said on OKKO Sport.
