When asked about her strongest qualities, she said it’s the ability to control her emotions. If they think like this, it’s because they believe in me and if they believe in me, it’s because they support me. “The way I see it is as if people expect something from me, it’s because they know that I can do it. “I do not feel any pressure, because I treat it differently,” she explained. The skater, whom many expected to falter under pressure of defending her titles, keeps skating strong and says that she is unfazed by the expectations. I have never done it before and it’s very hard to do 3-3-3 combination as the next to last jump in the program.” “It’s a step forward for me,” she added, “both technically and in terms of stamina. Previously, the entire element would have received zero points, but now only the third triple toe would be discarded and I thought since I can do it, why not try?” But I know that the rules have been changed this year and they allow you to do more triple toe loops. “I think I managed to surprise even my coach nobody expected me to go for it.
“I know, I know,” she said on the press conference. The 17-year-old approached all her jumps without the slightest hesitation, and towards the end of her long program performance, executed a triple Salchow – triple toe loop – triple toe loop combination, in which the third jump received zero points as it was already the third triple toe loop in her program and she had already done one three-jump combination. Medvedeva was in class of her own on both days of the competition.
