This was personally shocking to me as a figure skating fan. Japan is one of the major figure skating countries which hosts a number of ice shows annually and Medvedeva was touring Japan for Fantasy on Ice when she received a hate mail. Tour staffers should have screened fan mails before handing them over to her. Some Japanese fans are jealous of her because she trains with Japanese star Yuzuru Hanyu, the two-time gold medalist, in Canada under Brian Orser. There is some evidence of online trolling on her SNS account by a female Japanese fan wearing the national flag, who I cannot forgive.
