Many will say that it is bad luck to tell this so early, that a millon things can happen from now to 2018 Winter Olympic Games, but the truth is that everybody thinks Evgenia Medvedeva has a pretty good chance to take the gold. Although when she fails, her programs are above of her rivals in both technique and art, her skating connects with both amateurs and athletes. The explanation is simple: Evgenia tells stories.
We have seen her win competition after competition during 2015 and this new season has started the same way for Evgenia. She has it all: solidity in the jumps, maximum level, pirouettes, amazing flexibility and an expression able to portray different genres. Her new programs are a delight. In the short program we get lost in her sweetness, with an original beginning in which the sound of a camera surprises us, she simulates to take a picture and says thanks in russian before starting to skate.

The free program is one of the most loved of the season and people never stop talking about it, it'spure drama based on the September 11 attack. At first we see a smiling Evgenia, waving goodbye to someone. In the middle of the program the music changes and we hear ambulances, shouts and chaos. After a sequence of spirals, the phone rings, Medvedeva answers the call and we understand then that it is bad news, the person to whom she greeted at the beginning is gone.

Just as we fall in love with gymnastics leotards, in figure skating it is inevitable not to do the same. The dresses that Evgnia wears this season are so beautiful, a more lively and cheerful color in her short program, while the free is grey with a degraded pink skirt. The rhinestones of the neck attracts the attention, a decoration with crystals simulating something broken.
Medvedeva does not stop inspiring with his skating. Dentelle Sportswear has created a figure skating costume based on her free program, with three initial sketches with different colors and shapes.
After these three proposals, the costume dress has been made of two pieces: the top is like a leotard and on the other hand we have the skirt, so it can be used for competitions and then combine it for galas.
The combination of white and pink with rhinestone gives a very sweet touch in contrast to the seriousness of the story that is explained on the ice.
Although in images it is always difficult to capture it, in person it shines very much, especially in the chest and the belt that are covered with rhinestones.
Even though it is undeniable that Medvedeva's skating inspires anyone who sees it, we will have to wait until 2018 to see if the injuries and growth changes allow her to reach the Olympic Games in her best shape. For now all we can do is enjoy her programs this weekend!
Keep an eye on Evgenia Medvedeva, who is only 17 and it's surprising tje whole skating world. I would like to thank Dentelle Sportswear for their kindness and ideas in the process and making of this costume dress inspired by such a special program, no doubt figure skating fans will remember it for a long time.
