E.P.: What do you mean by "changed my mind"?! I want to be the first modern figure skater who took part in four Olympic Games. I am dreaming about Sochi. It's true that I had to postpone my first start this season due to some objective reasons. Now I am training in full, polishing my new programs, and I am doing that with the broken hand. So, if everything goes as we are planning, I hope I will compete in the Russian Nationals in Saransk this December.
Many thanks, let´s talk!!!!
I don´t understand what does Evgeni mean by "modern figure skater"????
Grafstrom took part in four Olympics: 1920 (gold),1924 (gold),1928 (gold),1932 (silver). So, technically Zhenya won't be the first one with four Olympic medals or participations. But I can't compare those Olympic Games and modern ones. From the context of the interview it was clear that he was speaking about modern skaters, so I added the word "modern" in oder to escape any misunderstandings in English.
Yes, but Elvis Stojko also participated in four Olympics (1992,1994,1998,2002) and he definitely is a modern skater.
