Three-time champion of the USSR in compulsory figures, long-term associate professor of the figure skating department of the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sports, Youth and Tourism (RGUFKSMiT) Hasmik Vardanyan told in an interview why she stopped advising Evgenia Medvedev, with whom she conducted classes from seven to nine years old.

“The reason was precisely that Zhenya’s father and mother divorced. Dad helped Zhenya financially in many ways - it costs a certain amount of money to buy boots with skates, you understand. But when they divorced, this opportunity soon disappeared. And some dream fell away at that moment - including the plans to play for Armenia, which were once destroyed, ”said Vardanyan.

Earlier, the USSR champion explained why she did not agree with Eteri Tutberidze that Medvedev was not the most talented skater from the beginning.
