Evgenia Medvedeva is moving to toronto to train with brian and yuzu
I MEAN???? OH MY GOD
18-year-old Olympic medalist from Russia Evgenia Medvedeva announced Monday that she's ditched her longtime coach in Moscow to work with famed coach Brian Orser in Toronto instead.
Evgenia Medvedeva has confirmed today in Moscow that she will be training with Brian Orser in Toronto. Yuzu and Evgenia together every day at the same rink! OMG. #羽生結弦

It's an especially exciting idea for fans because she'll be sharing the rink at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club with another fan favourite.

Japanese superstar Yuzuru Hanyu — a two-time Olympic Champion — has been training under Brian Orser since 2012 and makes frequent trips to Toronto to train at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club.

Yuzu's fans have been going crazy since his return to the city at the end of February.

After a long hiatus (he sustained a knee injury in November) the skating prodigy's stalkers — I mean, supporters — are once again on the lookout for sightings of the figure skating "G.O.A.T."
This apparently is what #YuzuruHanyu orders at his favorite restaurant in #Toronto. https://t.co/4aLPJkvWaP

If Evegenia's Toronto fan base is anywhere near the level of Yuzu's, expect to find information on social media about all of the skater's favourite Toronto haunts.
Yuzu's bestie, Spanish medal-winner Javier Fernández, is also based in Toronto under Brian Orser.

Their famed bromance developed at the Toronto club, making headlines for their stellar bro hugs.
Whether or not Javier will be in Toronto at the same time as Yuzuru and Evgenia has yet to be seen: we'll wait for the social media proof.
