Career

Early years

On the ice from the age of three, Medvedeva was taught initially by Elena Proskurina, Lubov Yakovleva, and Elena Selivanova.[9] Around 2008, she joined Eteri Tutberidze at the Olympic Reserve Sports School no. 37, renamed Sambo 70.[9]

Medvedeva made her senior national debut at the 2012 Russian Championships, finishing eighth, and then placed sixth on the junior level. She sustained an injury at the start of the following season and did not qualify for the senior Russian Nationals. She finished fourth behind Maria Sotskova at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships.

2013–14 season: Junior international debut

Medvedeva's international debut came in the 2013–14 season. Competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, she won gold first in Riga, Latvia, and then in Gdańsk, Poland.[5] She qualified to the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan and won the bronze medal behind Sotskova and Serafima Sakhanovich. At the 2014 Russian Championships, she finished seventh in her second senior appearance and then fourth on the junior level. Medvedeva was assigned to replace the injured Sotskova at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.[10] Placing third in both segments, she won the bronze medal while Elena Radionova and Sakhanovich took gold and silver respectively, producing Russia's second consecutive sweep of the World Junior ladies' podium.

2014–15 season: World Junior champion

Medvedeva's first assignment of the 2014–15 JGP season was in Courchevel, France. She won the gold medal by a margin of 21 points ahead of silver medalist Rin Nitaya of Japan. At her second event, in Ostrava, Czech Republic, she placed second in both segments and edged Japan's Wakaba Higuchi for the gold by 1.44 points. Medvedeva's results qualified her for the Junior Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain. She placed first in the short program and set a new world record of 67.09 points for junior ladies' short program. In the free program, she placed first and won the gold. At the 2015 Russian Championships, she placed third in both segments and won the bronze medal behind Elena Radionova and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, winning her first senior national medal. She then finished first in the 2015 Russian Junior Championships, almost 20 points ahead of silver medalist Maria Sotskova. At the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Medvedeva placed first after the short program and set a new world record of 68.48 points for junior ladies' short program. In the free program, she placed first again and won gold. She had no falls on the ice throughout the season in international events.

Medvedeva became age-eligible to compete at the senior international level for the 2015–16 season.

Later that month, she competed at her first senior Grand Prix event – 2015 Skate America. Finishing first in the short program and second in the free skate, she won the gold medal ahead of Gracie Gold of the United States. Medvedeva won silver at her next Grand Prix assignment, the 2015 Rostelecom Cup, behind compatriot Elena Radionova.

Medvedeva set the National record scores in all three segments of the competition, earning 79.44 points in the Short program, 155.44 in the free and 238.44 overall.

In January 2016 in in Bratislava, Medvedeva competed at the European Championships for the first time. Finishing first in both segments, she won the gold medal while her teammates Elena Radionova (-5.46) and Anna Pogorilaya (-28.40) took silver and bronze respectively for the second straight year.[13]

In March 2016, Medvedeva won the gold medal at that the 2016 World Championships in Boston. After finishing third in the short program, Medvedeva clinched the gold medal by winning the free skate with a world record score of 150.10.[14] Her overall score of 223.86 was a new personal best and was 8.47 points ahead of silver medalist Ashley Wagner. Having won the Junior World title in 2015, Medvedeva became the first lady skater to have ever won back to back Junior Worlds and Senior Worlds.

Skating technique

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

For jump abbreviations, see figure skating jumps.

Medvedeva commonly performs some of her jumps with an arm over her head, known as the "Tano" variation, a position popularized by Brian Boitano. She can do several jump combinations ending with a triple toe, such as the 3F-3T, 3S-3T, 3Lz-3T, 3Lo-3T, and 2A-3T. She also demonstrated difficult combinations such as the 3F-3T-3T, the 3S-3T-3T, the 3S-3Lo-3T, and the 3S-3T-3T-3T combinations during practices, but they have not been ratified by the officials.
