translation Plushenko's the second tattoo
Turin Olympic Champion has shown that and in the Sochi-2014, opponents should be afraid of himPlushenko: I was even nervousThere was no certainty at all, that Zhenya would come on Test Skating. But he did. And from the beginning he not seek a place at packed the stands, than stood in an leather jacket, leaning to wall.
"The second return - I must confess to you is not for those with weak nerves", - he say to me after. After all the happens. And skating. With such passion, with such "high voltage" jumps, as if he did not leave....
....
This summer, - after a little pause, he added. - I had quite heavy breakdowns. Several times I was ready to drop everything and leave, to return to St. Petersburg, to skate in the shows. But still could overcome myself. I'm, not just so, certainly, made even before the Olympic Games in Vancouver
(in fact, tattoo is from the summer of 2010, after Olys... perhaps the reporter misunderstood something ), when I returned for the first time, the tattoo on my arm: "Road overcomes the one who walks." Before the new return I got a second tattoo, on the other hand.
Rolled up his sleeve, Zhenya shows a giant scorpion, and under it - the name of his wife: Yana.
- When me and Yana get the kids, there will be and their names.
And the name of my son, Egor.
While scorpion will protect them.
- Why a scorpion? This is your zodiac sign?
- Of course!
...
- In all here was emaciated faces. But your performance was - right as the eruption of Vesuvius. Wherefrom so much emotion? Especially since you yourself say that survived the crisis ...
- Long ago I not perfomed. And even I was nervous, imagine that? This is so good. A little half-forgotten feelings. No, I do not regret that I decided to the second return.
- Road, certainly, really can overcome just walker... But exibition performance - it's just a exibition. When will we see your short and free programs in a full format?
- The decision to wait for now was taken together with the federation. Its representatives were at my training. They saw how I work. What can today. We talked in detail on previous Test Skating, held in Novogorsk behind closed doors. I was there as a spectator. And when we discussed the situation, we decided: to the audience I will show exibition number, but there will be present the complex elements.
- Which programs you have?
- Alexei Mishin and I have a long tradition: as long as the programs has not been fully finalized, until everything will not polished to a shine, even the smallest, the details, no one could see them. You may think that this is superstition. But for us, it's the law. We have never changed this law, and do not intend under any circumstances to do so.
- When will you perform for the first time officially?
- In the fall, at one stage of the Russian Cup. Where - just can not say. But the Cup will not go without my participation - I give the word!
