Starting 2011 Plushenko will train more and skate less in shows
Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko announced that starting in the 2011-2012 season he plans to “skate less in shows” and “train more,” and also prepare new [skating] elements.
On Monday Plushenko became the winner of award “Crystal Ice” under the nomination “Overcome Challenge.” After the ceremony the figure skater told our RIA News correspondent that the recent tournament in Japan, at which he placed third after the American Adam Rippon and the Japanese Daisuke Takahashi, has become a competitive start for him.
“At any tournament I skate seriously, putting all my strength into it. But these competitions were actually team competitions and the team of Europe, the honor of which I was defending, was somewhat weak. Still I am satisfied that in the course of a week I was able to get myself properly ready [for the competition], I did two triple axels and seven other triple jumps,” said Plushenko.
“I skated the program ‘Tribute to Nijinsky,’ which I had skated way back in 2003, so it was not easy, but I am happy that I was able to do it,” added Plushenko.
The multiple times World Champion assured us that he is determined in the near future to restore his amateur skater status.
“I already said that I want to skate as an amateur. The [Russian Figure Skating] Federation and I are working towards the same goal, we must be friends and work together towards the good of Russian figure skating. I feel within myself great strength and great desire to skate at the Olympics in Sochi,” finished Plushenko.
The Olympic champion told us that a week ago he was awarded in Torino with the Italian award Golden Skate Awards. “It is nice that we [our country] has an award that is not inferior. I am happy that I have become the recipient of this award,” the figure skater admitted.
Plushenko explained that he did not plan to perform in Moscow with an exhibition performance. “I had already decided earlier that I will skate in Italy, and will then go on a vacation. Already tomorrow we are flying away for a vacation, I need to recuperate, gather up strength and then start training,” the athlete told us.
At the beginning of November we are planning to go to sports camp in Kislovodsk, where I will be doing ОФП [don’t know what that is], then I have a few performances planned, and then I plan to skate new programs, prepare for next season,” added Plushenko.







. Но если кроме "чанов" никого и нет, судьям ничего не останется, как научиться для определения победителей оценивать качество "порхания" и когда-нибудь они к этому даже привыкнут. "Хочешь помочь любителям, отстрели профессионалов
". Во многом, именно по этой причине отсутствие Плющенко на состязаниях играет и против Плющенко, и против той стратегии развития спорта, которую он символизирует.
