Russian Medvedeva out of worlds with foot injury
Print Edition
Olympic figure skating silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva has withdrawn from the world championships later this month, ending the prospect of another showdown for gold with her friend and rival Alina Zagitova.
The Russian Figure Skating Federation says Medvedeva has a recurrence of the foot injury which kept her out of the Grand Prix Finals last December. During the Olympics, Medvedeva said the injury didn鈥檛 bother her as she lost to Zagitova by 1.31 points for the gold medal. However, the Russian federation now says Medvedeva 鈥渉ad to fight painful sensations while skating at the Olympics鈥 and doctors have ordered her to strictly limit any jumps from her injured foot for at least four weeks 鈥渋n order to avoid possible surgical intervention鈥. That makes Zagitova the clear favorite for gold at the March 21-25 championships in Milan.
