It was unforgettable. Zhenya really made this day. He tried to start with quad but tripled it (before he succeeded it in the practice section). Then he landed three huge 3,5 axels and showed awesome performance, full of energy, grace and incredible personality. It was real “Je sui malade”, not worse then on Olimpics. I saw Tatyana Tarasova applauding him after every axel. At the end the whole audience greeted him with standing ovation. There were a lot of flowers and toys. Any other athlete would congratulate himself with such a good start but Zhenya was so upset because of that quad as if it was already in Sochi. When we meet he returned to this question two or three times, said us that he was nervous today, that quad is not consistent yet and leg still bothers him a bit. It's obvious that Zhenya feels a great pressure from the very beginning, even before competitions really start. He had to give a lot of interviews for media and met with us totally life drained. But he was very attentive, spend with us enough time despite of some journalists awaiting and answered all our questions. Now as never before he needs every possible support. So my big respect to the girls, they really did the best. Also, a lot of thanks to Irina for her help with invitation ticket.
