The final evening of figure skating in the 2018 Winter Olympics was nothing short of dramatic. Evgenia Medvedeva, 18, from Team OAR came to Pyeongchang, South Korea, as the favorite to win the Gold medal, but the world couldn't ignore the presence of Evegnia's teammate, 15-year-old Alina Zagitova.
The two battled head-to-head in the free skate, which would finalize the gold, silver, and bronze medalists. Evgenia skated her heart out to an Anna Karenina medley. She Didn't miss a single turn or jump, and the whole thing was emotionally moving. She earned herself 156.65 points, which gave her a total of 238.26 points after combined with her score from the short program.
Evgenia may not have won gold, but she certainly gave a gold-medal Performance and she deserves credit for her hard work and dedication. And many people on Twitter think she should've received gold.
Zagitova was amazing but damn Medvedeva was beautifullll
What Medvedeva just did was THEATRE unlike almost anything I've seen in Olympic skating. I had chills for almost the entire program. Regardless of who wins, I will be watching This Performance over and over again for YEARS to come.
