The role of the ambassador of the team of the Russian Olympic Committee in Beijing suits the two-time world champion in figure skating Evgenia Medvedeva, she will help the team communicate with fans through social networks, ROC President Stanislav Pozdnyakov told TASS.

“Medvedeva is an excellent ambassador, she has a wonderful Tik Tok, a large number of subscribers, and it is growing exponentially, largely thanks to her tandem in the Ice Age with Dania Milokhin,” Pozdnyakov said.

Medvedev became the Olympic ambassador of the Russian national team in the summer of 2019.

According to Pozdnyakov, the choice in favor of Medvedeva was made primarily because she actively participated in communication with the IOC during the doping scandal in 2018.

Zagitova and Medvedeva skated demonstration numbers at the Russian Figure Skating Championship “In the most difficult period of our relationship with the IOC, during Pyeongchang, she participated with me in many events, performed at the executive committee in front of the IOC members immediately after she won a medal at the Games. We do not forget and appreciate it. The status of an ambassador suits her completely and completely, "- said the head of the ROC.

During the Beijing Olympics, Medvedeva will comment on the figure skating competition.

“Commenting is an important role, but along with this, OCD is actively developing its social media. We cannot, for obvious reasons, organize a Fan House, so we will communicate through social networks, as it was in Tokyo. And Zhenya, we hope, for our part, will help us in this, as well as in terms of additional positive communication with his fellow athletes, ”Pozdnyakov said.

The Olympic Games in Beijing will be held from 4 to 20 February 2022. In July, Medvedev was unable to travel as an ambassador to the Tokyo Olympics due to the epidemiological situation.
