Alina Zagitova, Evgenia Medvedeva and Alexandra Trusova continue to stun public with ideas. Sports tells how longtime rivals tried to stand out from each other at the Moscow Sports Day.
The next chapter of the confrontation Six years have passed since the 2018 Olympics, when Alina Zagitova won gold at the Games in single skating, and Medvedeva lost by less than a point and became second. Nevertheless, the “war” between the fans and the unspoken struggle between the girls themselves continues.
The brightest confrontation after the Olympics occurred between them at the Channel One Cup, which ended in scandal. Then Medvedeva refused to admit her team’s loss, and Zagitova did not remain silent, boldly noting that her team was stronger: “Today, of course, there is a winner, and this is the Red Machine.” Thank you very much for the fight to Zhenya’s team, because she really showed a worthy fight. Unfortunately, I lost. Today luck was on our side. I want to thank our team again,” Zagitova said at a press conference after the tournament.
Since that time, neither Medvedeva nor Zagitova have openly entered into confrontation. But it seems that after the Moscow Sports Day, a new chapter will begin in the confrontation between the skaters. The reason for this may be the desire of both girls to stage their own ice show.
Such a business is widespread in Russia. The shows of Ilya Averbukh, Tatiana Navka and Evgeni Plushenko are attended by tens of thousands of viewers, and it seemed that this market was firmly divided between the three giants. But it turned out that Medvedeva and Zagitova were ready to challenge.
During the meeting with fans, both girls noted that preparing for the show takes a huge amount of time, resources and effort. Each of them works with a large team, but the final decisions are made only by them.
The idea seems like a good one, considering the love of fans for both girls. For so many years in the media space, they have managed to pump up their brand so much that they can easily attract the attention of millions of people. And confrontation with each other plays into their hands. Just imagine how many fans will want to compare the production qualities of Zagitova and Medvedeva. And the comparison can begin now, with the presentation of projects.
Medvedeva remained modest during the entire fan meeting and even left Dmitry Guberniev’s tricky question about Alina Zagitova’s participation in the anniversary show unanswered:
“Most of my life is occupied by sport and one very important project. I get so excited talking about it… Many figure skating fans know that this year is my anniversary. I invite you all to my birthday at the CSKA Ice Arena on November 15 at 19 pm An ice show dedicated to my birthday. I would really like to skate the whole show myself, but I don’t have enough health, so I’m sure there will be a lot of talented skaters,” Medvedeva said.
At the same time, Zagitova. , having realized the full power of her bright phrases, continued to act according to the proven scheme. This time she compared the creation of her show to the birth of a child:
«»Soon I will have my own show. I have been working towards this for a long time. I have been to many Russian and foreign shows, I have a lot of experience. And I have always had a dream, which will soon come true, to make my own show. It will not be like all the others. There are no analogues in the world. I will do a show like a child.»
Even in these short phrases the difference between Medvedeva and Zagitova is visible and it will definitely be interesting to watch the development of events.
«I am not the same Trusova»In context During ice shows, the name Alexandra Trusova often appears. She has long been a leading figure in Evgeni Plushenko’s projects and may already be ready to create something of her own. Nevertheless, at the moment, all her thoughts are occupied by one of the most important events in life — a wedding.
The fact that Trusova and Makar Ignatov were dating became known at the beginning of 2024. Then the figure skater came to support her boyfriend at the demonstration performances of the St. Petersburg championship, and already in June the engagement was announced.
“»Immediately said yes. I don’t fully believe it yet, now we are preparing for the wedding. I think the realization will come already in time for celebration,” Trusova shared her emotions with the fans.
As it turned out, the athletes did not delay submitting an application to the registry office either; the date had already been determined. Unfortunately for the fans, the skater did not reveal the details, but hinted: “I can’t announce the date yet. It will be a little later than the skates in St. Petersburg (in early August).”
After such news, the opinion began to circulate in the media that Trusova will not return to the ice anymore, supposedly they get married in order to have children. Moreover, many people know about the figure skater’s desire to become a mother of many children. But Trusova would not be Trusova if she had not continued to break the usual patterns.
According to information, the athlete is preparing to perform at test skates in mid-September. Trusova did not comment on this information, but, most importantly, she did not refute it, noting that she trains every day. And this means that the chance to see her on the ice remains.
As the athlete herself noted, in recent years there has been a global transformation in her: “I don’t think that I’m the same Trusova, I’ve changed a lot since the Olympics.” And it would be incredibly cool to see this new Trusova on the ice.
