(Reuters) - Evgenia Medvedeva, widely seen as the favourite for gold at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, is nursing a broken foot and could miss next month's Grand Prix Final, the Russian figure skater has said. She was then diagnosed with having a crack in a bone in her right foot but she decided to compete in Japan earlier this month. But this is the Olympic season," Medvedeva was quoted as saying, adding that she had never missed a meet because of an injury. She added that she hoped she could still take part in the Grand Prix Final. "If doctors do not allow me to compete in Japan, that would be the worse-case scenario.
