Plushenko in Novogorsk 27.08.09_Test Skate - LP+SP

... translation....
Evgeni Plushenko is included in the list of candidates for the national team of Russia... This information appeared on the official site of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia. Second day in a row, on the "control skate" in Novogorsk, Plushenko shows the upper class....

Two quadruple toe loop, two triple axel's, and the most difficult step sequences. Long program, which showed today Evgeni Plushenko - is on the highest technical level. But even this is not important. Performance of Plushenko - no amount of speed and height of the jumps. His dance - a little drama, four-minute spectacle, staged by choreographer David Avdysh, to music Edvin Marton. And with this performance, figure skater formally declares: he returned to the amateur sport, and will participate in the Olympic Games 2010 in Vancouver.

Evgeni Plushenko: "Missing me sport, the adrenaline, this fantastic atmosphere ... I miss it feeling, when you go on the ice and look into the eyes of judges and viewers, you feel pleasure.... and not leaves you from there."

Alexei Mishin: "I am completely devoid of such euphoria over his return. I will note that Evgeni Plushenko is return in the sport after ending one competition."

"Yes, age is not the same" - jokes in training, 26-year-old Plushenko. After he won the Olympics in Turin in 2006 and said goodbye to a sport, was a whole life, for which Plushenko had became showman - the draft of the "1" channel "Stars on Ice", win with Dima Bilan Eurovision, and even elected as deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. With the return to regular training back a bit forgotten sports passion, and endless pains in the joints - the consequences of multiple injuries.

Evgeni Plushenko: "That was sick back, then had a sore knee, one knee, then the second knee, the foot, the achilles... Continuing to skate with painkillers. Here I am talking to you, but me a terrible burning feet. Because I was rubbed them with "nikoflex" that hard, that they really burn.

But on the cold ice, on burning feet unthinkable. The music of Chopin, arranged by violinist Edvin Marton, Plushenko presented to the trainers his short program.

Valentin Piseev, president of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia: "He showed - a worthy program. It is skating, which indicates the fact, that Evgeni might well compete for medals, on very highest level."

Tatiana Tarasova: "The most important thing is that him is not health failed, his ligaments, his muscles. Because his head is very strong, and very light."

In the Figure Skating Federation did not conceal the joy. After all, before returning Plushenko, chance to take top places in the men's figure skating at the Olympics in 2010 were very small. Only hope for gold in Ice Dancing, and possibly silver and bronze in Pairs skating. Today, much more optimistic predictions: despite the effects of injuries, in Plushenko they believe unconditionally. He's a real fighter, say coaches.
And for the "esprit de corps", he fought in early childhood, practically with those who thought that figure skating - a sport for girls.

Evgeny Plushenko, three-time world champion, Olympic champion in 2006 in figure skating: "Macho-man always engaged with football, or hockey, or karate, martial arts... but my mother had given me to skating. Who is weaker, that and gets. I am bad "fight" with hands, but with legs very well."

They say: after Olympic gold medals, in the amateur sport's, back either crazy, or very strong people. Friends of Plushenko's say that he is suitable for both: the Champion came back, to become a Champion.

@outthehead

oh pls, how would u know ;) every sportsman decides for him/herself, what matters is whether its gonna be possible health-wise.

Listen to what he said in his interview - those are true drivers for a comeback.

Dima Bilan, Eurovision - those things are way too irrelevant and meaningless to me compared to fig. skating or any other sport.

@outthehead , his wife inspired him to go come back to skating. And she's a big star in Russia- manager of the most successful singer Dima Bilan. Plushenko skated with him at Eurovision. Everything is connected.

@Tihbialdunav

well, i could not care less about his wife :)) she s nothing to do with that :) the main thing he stays healthy and can overcome his injuries bothering him.. I know he is in the team but my major question (and hope) is whether he ll really compete. And his coach was right when he said that first he needs to compete at least once to see where he stands. Best luck to him! hope to see him in Vancouver!

@outthehead , oh yes, he's back. Same coach, new wife who supports his skating career.
