American figure skating champion Isabelle Levito named Olympic medalist Eugene Medvedev her idol, saying she has always been inspired by the Russian woman and her artistry on the ice.
— If you could meet anyone famous, who would you choose and what would you ask them?
— There are several people in my head who are not related to figure skating, but I don’t think I should name them.
It could be Evgenia Medvedeva, I like her a lot. And I love watching her grow, she’s my favorite skater of all time. She’s my idol, I’ve always loved her a lot. And I am inspired by watching her, by her artistic talent.
So yes, I would definitely choose Evgenia Medvedeva,” said the 16-year-old American in an interview with Ice Skating International Online.
Medvedeva is a two-time silver medalist at the 2018 Olympics, and the Russian also has two world championship gold medals (2016, 2017) and two European championship victories (2016, 2017). In April 2023, Evgenia announced her retirement from her professional career.
