>> she is the gold standard for ladies figure skaters. she set the short program up so that all three jumping passes are in the second half, different from anybody we've seen. and the most difficult. >> get that 10% bonus. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> you also notice that genia jumps with her arms over her head. the first jump with one arm, the second with two. jumping with your arms over your head makes the element so much more difficult. your center of gravity goes way up around your head versus around your chest. >> a solo jump coming up right here. nothing fazes this girl. oh, that got close on the double axel. sometimes she'll miss a double axel out of all of her elements, the easiest of them.

it's not her strong suit. ♪ >> absolutely breath taking, yevgenia medvedeva. >> this is an olympic champion in the making, and we're at an olympic games, guys. >> it all came together in the last couple of seasons. the timing absolutely perfect

until the fall when she fractured a bone in her foot. she missed two months of competition. came back in january to the european championships and took on her training mate, only 15, also from russia who's turned into a big rival. she was defeated there. so she came here to pyeongchang and people said, well, which one will we see? which medvedeva. and perhaps we just got an answer. >> well, at the european championships coming back after that injury, she looked a little bit rusty in certain areas, maybe with her conditioning and nerves. but she looks reborn in so many ways here in pyeongchang. every element aside from that double axel that made tara gasp was absolutely brilliant, on another level. >> here's her triple flip, arm over the head. very subtle, look at the flow in between both those jumps, both arms over the head to make it

even more difficult. >> and this, the triple loop absolutely stunning. not an eyelash out of place. this is olympic ladies level figure skating, breath taking. >> if she's ever going to miss a jump, it's the easiest one on this double axel. look how she didn't get much height on that. but somehow she is so good, she was pulling that off. she's such a competitor, johnny. just think about it, terry, just as you said, undefeated. then her little teammate, a junior lady last year, you know, comes onto the scene this year, is on fire and beats her three weeks before the biggest moment of her life. >> it's been that way for russia the last several years. elena sodikiva comes on. an overnight sensation after the team event in russia. remember she was on every billboard, every commercial and now she's notn the scene.

>> you may remember her as the little girl in the red dress at the sochi olympics. will put on her shoulders after the team event, she struggled in the individual event, but yevgenia medvedeva has that air about her, nothing will come between her and these moments at the olympics. >> you saw what she needed to lead and she just sailed right on by that. 81 and change and the wide smile now on the face of medvedeva. >> that is the highest score ever. >> and well deserved. amazing grade of executions on every element. >> so, the ladies short program comes to an end, and medvedeva, as expected, as hoped for so many who have followed her the last couple of years, wins it. carolina kostner terrific in second, caitlin oz monday,

satoko miyahara ahead of bradie tennell. it's the difference between the u.s. getting seven or six points. overall, though, here you go. here's how it stands. canada, the olympic athletes from russia, the u.s., japan and italy the top five. they qualify and will move on to the free skate portion of the team event. the u.s. in a great spot to try to win a medal here teamwise. your takeaway from what you just saw? >> yevgenia medvedeva is here for an olympic gold medal. she was stunning from start to finish. >> the individuals, i'm really looking forward to with her and that rivalry with her younger teammate. it's going to be the hunger games. >> there's a lot going on today still. you've got the pairs free skate portion of the team event. earlier you had the ice dancers, the shibutanis. i know you guys were here watching. what are your thoughts on what you saw? and the u.s.' overall chance to look ahead and medal in the team

competition. >> we were grooving up there during the dance, but the u.s. has an awesome opportunity in this team event to take silver or bronze. i think canada has set themselves in a different league than russia or the united states. but the u.s. is fighting real hard. >> the u.s. with a good chance, right? >> yeah. >> i'm not cheering for them, i'm just asking because a lot of people doubted it after nathan chen and that opening short program. bradie tennell terrific today. medvedeva just terrific. kaetlyn osmond, the canadians overall do lead it. still to come, that pairs free skate and the knierims, who are terrific in the short. >> all right, terry, tara, johnny, thank you. the medals in the team figure skating determined tomorrow. also tomorrow we'll see mikaela shiffrin for the first time here in south korea. but do not go anywhere. we have much more still ahead tonight. here's the plan. those of you who live in the mountain and pacific time zone, just hang right there. we're going to come back here in a moment with more live action,
