2. Those words are about the silver and bronze medalist
of Russian championships in ski racing of 2003, Olympics
champion in the women's 4x5 km relay race, silver
medalist of 2005 World Championships, bronze medalist of
2006 Russian championships, bronze medalist of 2006

3. Evgenia Medvedeva was born on July 4,
1976 in Kondopoga, Karelia – my native town.
She graduated from the Kondopozhskaya sports
school N1, her first coach was Galina Mizerova.
In 1993 she entered the School of Olympic
Reserve in St. Petersburg, where her coach in
skiing was Nikolai Bondarev. In 1996 she won the
Junior World Championships in relay race. In
1998 she returned to Karelia, and then left for St.
Petersburg.
A person, who coached Medvedeva in the
beginning of her sports career, Nikolai Bondarev,
died during a training camp, and it was a very
serious blow for her. "Both of my Olympic medals
in Turin I dedicate to Nikolai Vasilievich Evgenya Medvedeva said. - Without his coaching
efforts I would have never achieved my success.
It was he who invited me to St. Petersburg
School of Olympic Reserve, who invited me to the
national team. I am very sorry that he is not
currently next to me and I always remember
about him."

4. Medvedeva is a member of Petrozavodsk team and a
member of the Russian national team since 2000.
She a world-class athlete, a winner of numerous
national and international competitions.
Her current coach is her husband - Alexei Medvedev,
master of sports. Evgenia Medvedeva has a daughter,
Daria, and likes cooking very much.

5. In Republic of Karelia
people know and love
Medvedeva,
she
is
considered to be a pearl
of Karelia. One must
look up to her as she is
a self-motivated, hardworking,
athletic,
strong-minded,
energetic person. I think
she has become a great
example
for
many
people, old and young,
who are fond of sports
and
live
a
healthy
lifestyle.
