«To hang up the skates - it’s easy to do any moment»

The most popular Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko appeared in front of the crowd and analysts on the test skating for the 1st time after Vancouver. «МН» reporter talked to him before his skating.

— Tell us something about your new programs.
— My programs are 80% ready; the step sequences are not completed a little yet. The programs were choreographed by David Avdysh and Irina Sharonova from Petersburg. The idea of free skate is mine, the idea of SP was offered by Irina. Before the season I also worked with Stephane Lambiel on my steps and transitions which were afterwards included in the programs.

— Why did you decide to miss the Grand Prix?
— I was suggested to participate in three events, but because of the meniscus surgery on my left knee I understood that I have not enough time to prepare. Why should I take a risk again and withdraw at the last moment? So I announced my decision previously.

— Won't such a "gentle schedule" lead to the lack of competitive practices?
—Competitions are necessary of course. But if everything goes well and pain doesn’t worry me, I‘ll participate in the competitions in Russia already in October.

—Our young male skaters took part in the test skating, do you follow them?
–I always watch for my competitors. The guys are good, promising, but I just have to do my job.

— Can you feel that they are close or they haven’t reached high level yet?
— Yes, of course, I feel. That’s a sport. A single mistake – and another athlete can advance and make podium, we could see this at the World Championships in Moscow. Even the leaders failed, made incredible mistakes, had problems with skates. No matter how well you are ready at the competitions no one is safe from the accidents.
Competition is increasing in our national team. Let alone the Japanese, American, Canadian skaters. Many of them do several quads, and it will be very difficult to compete with them. However for me neither this season nor the next two seasons will be priority, my priority is Olympic year. The main competition is the Olympics in Sochi. I do not deny that I want to show the maximum there and I’ll do my best for that. It’s very hard time for me now. Extremely hard. I don’t wish and advice the second returning to anyone. But I do not regret it. To hang up the skates - it’s easy to do any moment but not everyone is able to overcome all the obstacles. I respect myself for that.

— Due to recent surgery are you gonna limit performing the difficult elements?
— If my health permits, I’ll do maximum. Perhaps, I’ll do two quad toe loops.

— Now you practice 40 minutes a day. Is this a necessary measure?
— That’s not true. I train four hours per day. I have an hour ice practice in the morning and as well in the evening; I also train in the gym for two hours a day. The workouts are different: I work on jumps or spins or steps or choreography. Now I gonna attentively watch the guys’ programs at test skating. I hope the skaters will show some new things – steps, transitions. I’ll take something from them. Before 16 September Alexei Nikolaevich Mishin and I will complete both of my programs in Novogorsk.

—Will American Olympic champion Lysacek’s returning be a certain irritating stimulus for you?
— No, I take his returning positively. On the contrary, it’s great; it will raise interest in figure skating.

— The old guard is coming back?
—It is barely right to call Lysacek «old guard». He has been skating just several years. If Yagudin, Stojko and Eldredge came back it would be really old guard.

— What do you want to get as a bottom line after the season?
— This year my main goal is to restore my skating, jumps, to get maximal ranking and go on working.

Thank you Дарина

Seems that he won't go home for a while. It is tough to live in another city. (But maybe he changed this plan? )

Hmm. He won't go home for a while.

You are welcome! But you know, i made a mistake , actually Zhenya said "16 September" , This interview was given during the test skating before the doctors' verdict about ten days break in training.
I corrected my post.

But it's okay. His goal is Sochi
