Alexei Mishin: Plushenko returned - finally and irreversibly
- Alexei Nikolayevich, to start I am going to ask you for comment on the latest news, which came after the Test Skating on Evgeni Plushenko - he wrote in his Twitter, that doctors have forbidden him to train for ten days. This is a new injury, aggravation of the old injury, or something else?
- The fact is that the preparation of any high-class athlete is divided into three phases. This is training, rest and treatment. We had a holiday, we had training, and now came the phase of treatment, rehabilitation, help the body. The fact is that the current, second return of Plushenko in figure skating, by his character is not similar to the previous. This return is calculated at a historically long period of time. First return, before the Olympic Games in Vancouver, I would characterize as follows: Zhenya had to jump into the chariot, a ride on it, jump back and return to previous activities. Now return program is designed for long distance, which final ribbon will be the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. Therefore, in this long journey, of course, he need a pause for recovery of the organism.
- Plushenko will have to make adjustments in his plans for this season?
- For now we do not make serious adjustments in our preparations. The first competitive start of Plushenko will be one of the stages domestic "Russian Cup" - in Yoshkar-Ola (18-22 October) . Serious changes will not happen.
- Now, after that, how Plushenko performed at the Open Test Skating of Russian team, in which most did not believe, how would you rate the results of work done for the last time?
- I should point out, that since the beginning of work on the second returning of Evgeni to amateur figure skating, we have come a very complex way. So complicated, that Zhenya skated and said: anyone, no one I would suggest to return the first time. The second time, even more so. It was really very difficult. And not just for him, but for our entire staff, with me in the head. For us it was extremely difficult. And now, the main result of this period - we can finally say that Zhenya is back. He arrived on Test Skating, and skated on them in the emotional heating, in such a way, as maybe, he do not skate never in his life. :plush41: :plush33: And most importantly is, what it is now happened with Plushenko - to him came his own understanding of that, that he can, that he is able to return. Not all people understand this. Opinion of the some people expressed a renowned expert, who ironically said - "Here, Plushenko is again preparing for new shows". Nothing like that. Outcome of Test Skating is that Zhenya felt readiness to its present return. Plushenko returned - finally and irreversibly. :bra_vo:
- In what degree of readiness are its competitive programs?
- Free program is completed. Product is, I would say so, ready. It must training, this product should be sanded. It is not yet trained. But the ready. This is the first. And the second - a Short program we have available in two versions. One is ready to almost 100 percent, but perhaps it expected modifications.
- Cardinal nature?
- This will not yet say.
