Evgenia Medvedeva delivers a Sailor Moon-inspired routine at the World Team Trophy gala in Tokyo.

She entered the rink with props on hand.

Medvedeva started her routine on the floor as she pretended to sleep. She woke up and was rather cranky as she started her routine. At one point, she reached for a Luna (Sailor Moon’s black guardian cat) stuffed animal.

She even recreated the Sailor Moon transformation.

A minute into the routine, Medvedeva started recreating the Sailor Moon transformation. As she skated, she removed her sleeves and her skirt, and pulled up her socks to complete her transformation from Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon’s alter ego) to Sailor Moon.

Her costume was pretty spot on.

The crowd cheered as Medvedeva completed her transformation, and her second costume looked really convincing. Her hair, although not blonde, was styled in the same way as the beloved anime character’s.

She lip-synced and showed convincing facial expressions.

Medvedeva continued to gracefully glide through the skating rink and completed her flawless routine. Her spins and stunts added more spunk and excitement to the energetic number. The audience can be heard clapping in enjoyment throughout the video.
