MOSCOW, Jan 27 Silver medalist at the 2018 Olympics in women's figure skating skating Evgenia Medvedeva on the air «OK! In touch» spoke about the duties that she will perform at the Olympic Games in Beijing as an ambassador of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). Medvedeva is the official ambassador of the Russian team at the Games in Beijing. «My role as an ambassador — provide direct support to the national team, cover events, our medals, be happy for our athletes, support in any situation. The Olympics are not easy. I am still going there as a figure skating commentator. There are already emergencies, there are several positive tests. Great strength to you, because that it is very difficult,” said Medvedeva. Alexander Zhukov took part in the meeting of the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). According to Zhukov, a big role in the fact that the IOC allowed Russian athletes to compete in all types of competitions was played by Medvedeva's words that she dreams of «representing her country at the Olympics in individual competitions and for her team.» it was very scary, the most severe pressure that I have ever felt. I understood that it depends on my words, and not in my native language, whether we go to the Olympics or not. At that time, team sports were forbidden to us, therefore, honestly speaking, I also pursued my own interests, because all the skaters would like to bring two sets of medals. But here it turned out, pretty good, «added the athlete.
