MOSCOW, 1 Aug. American coach Rafael Harutyunyan explained why Canadian Brian Orser had a hard time working with Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva.
Medvedeva joined Orser's group and moved to Toronto after the Pyeongchang Olympics, where she won two silver medals. In the fall of 2020, the figure skater decided to return to Eteri Tutberidze.

“Medvedeva could only succeed with a coach who knows how everything works there — to the smallest detail. Orser grew up and worked in a completely different system. He could not even imagine that this would pour on him — so many nuances, undercurrents and complexities, «Harutyunyan told Sports.ru.
Medvedeva is 23 years old, on her account, in addition to two silver medals at the Pyeongchang Olympics , two victories at the world and European championships.
