Plushenko will
skip this season?
According to «SportKom»,
the figure skating Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko will probably skip
this season.
According to the figure skater coach Alexei Mishin, there had been some
complications as a result of Plushenko's recent knee surgery. The
trainer has not gone into details about this but just added that "from
the knee that was operated, it starting to grow some bone". Probably,
for this reason, the Olympic Champion missed some exhibitions
performances in Hungary and has refused to participate in the project of
the First channel «Stars on an ice».
Well it's not really surprising, I mean we know Plushenko has competed
with a lot a LOT of pain for years and usually a show with pain is not
problem for him, so when he decided to cancel the shows in Hungary, it
did seemed obvious this time it was very serious.
We'll wait to see if Mishin will say more about this.
- It says that
Plushenko may need another surgery on the meniscus due complications
from his first surgery.
- Ari says right now Plushenko is in Germany and there is a big chance
he may need another surgery on the knee. Says that after the surgery
Evgeni felt great and he wanted to train right away, and because of
overworking there were some problems.
- As for the competitive season, Ari said that there are some problems
but they are being solved now and the important thing is that Evgeni is
still very disposed to train and he will do so in September and it's
very likely he'll compete by January.
- The producers of DOI2 have said that they won't disclosed information
about Evgeni's health and that everyone will find out about him later.
- The tden.ru article mentions a legal problem with DOI2 that the DOI2
wants Evgeni to pay them because he has withdrawn from the project but
Evgeni is saying that the reason he is not doing it it's because he
can't skate at all.
- Evgeni says that what happened with his knee is that he started
training, and as a result there was some bone growing and his foot got
very swollen. So he left for Munich where the doctors decided what to
do. He's had an injection so far and if in a couple of days that does
not work, then he'll need surgery. Doctors had forbidden him to skate or
walk and he is getting constants massages.

Zhenya is not coming
to Hungary. Something bad has happened with his knee but even
IceVision is reluctant to release any information (they say they do
not know the details). There will be a press conference on it on
Wednesday the 22nd so I suppose we just have to wait.
What’s all set is that TT/MM are coming to Budapest to replace
Zhenya at the Syma Hall and Julia Sebestyen will also perform in
that show. The other two shows are cancelled altogether.
In summary it says
that Plushenko's knee is hurting again which is why his
participation in "Dancing on Ice" is in doubt.

Evgeni will get surgery next month.
- I will come back for sure to amateur sport, Plushenko said. All the
time that I've been doing shows, I had time to miss the feelings that
you have when you are competing. But the true is that there is one
problem: I recently had a tomogram done and I was told that it's
necessary to have surgery on my knee. The meniscus has detached itslef.
Therefore in July, after I come back from Guatemala, where I'll go to
support Sochi during the selections for the country of Olympics 2014, I
will get surgery. But I hope that everything will turn out fine and that
in August I will be ready to start trainings, and in autumn I will
return to amateurs. In November, Russia will host a GP event and that
will be where I'll begin. |

2007-05-21* The Olympic champion of Turin figure skater
Evgeni Plushenko who has decided, after a one year break, to return to
amateur sports, has said that he will present his new programs in autumn
to the spectators.
- My first start in the season will be the fifth stage of the Grand prix
"Cup of Russia" - 24-years old Evgeni shares the plans. – the
competition will take place in Moscow in the end of November. I hope, my
programs will like both spectators and judges who, certainly, will judge
me with all strictness.
Evgeni Plushenko will compete in Cup of Russia on November, 22-25nd,
Plushenko wrote a letter to the RFSF adressed to Valentin Pissiev
regarding his plans for the next season, and the RSFS has released this
letter to the public
www.rambler.ru/db/sport/m...d=10572889
“Dear Valentin Nikolaevich,
In reply to your letter (ref. N161-VP) of 26.04.2007 I inform you that
in the 2007/2008 season I plan to take part in one of the stages of the
Cup of Russia, and also in the stage of the ISU Grand prix "Cup of
Russia". My participation in other competitions will depend on my
physical condition and my sports form.
Yours faithfully,
E .V. Plushenko "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the people wondering why Evgeni mentions Cup of Russia twice and
counts it as two events is because in Russia there is a series of
regionals events called Cup of Russia (think of it as a Russian Grand
Prix series); and the other is the ISU "Cup of Russia" that has
international skaters.
Plush on the 04/05 season did one of the Cup of Russia events in Samara
where he did Godfather for the first time and then went on to do the ISU
"Cup of Russia"
The Cup of Russia events are
- Samara on September, 24-28th
- Perm on October, 15-19th
- Kazan on November, 12-16th
- Moscow on December, 4-7th
- Tver on February, 19-22th.
The ISU "Cup of Russia" is in Moscow on November, 22-25nd.
It's very likely Plushenko will do Samara again.

2007-04-10* Evgeni returning to competition!
Olympic gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko has seen enough after taking one
season off.
Evgeni said Tuesday he is returning to competitive skating after he took
a year off after the Turin Games.
In an interview with the Associated Press in Richmond, Va., today, where
Evgeni begins the touring season with Champions On Ice, he said he was
disappointed by the Russian men's showing in international events this
year, including finishing 18th and 19th at last month's World
championships.
Plushenko is concerned Russia could lose at least one or even two of the
maximum three Olympic spots if there isn't a quick turnaround.
"After seeing the results of Russian skaters in the world championships
in Tokyo, I have decided to go back to competition," said Plushenko. "I
want to keep Russian figure skating at a competitive level. I want to
bridge the gap so our young skaters have time to train and be
competitive, which should be in a few years.
Evgeni also plans to compete at the Vancouver Olympics, something he
mentioned he might try after winning at Turin.
"I feel strongly that I can be competitive and ready for the 2010
Olympics," Evgeni said. "I am doing triple Axels in my show programs on
the Russian tour and landing quads in my practice sessions.
He expects to skate in Grand Prix competitions, as well as the European
and World championships.
Plushenko has battled knee injuries through the years, but the season
off from competition has him feeling healthy.

Flawless Plushenko wins GOLD! He performed a pulsating
free skate to win the men's title. The crowd went crazy:
La Plush!!! Plushy!!! Evgeni!!! Plushen-go!!! The
overwhelming favourite let a huge sigh of relief and
kissed the ice as he outclassed world champion Stephane
Lambiel by a huge margin of 27.12 points. He opened with
a quadruple toe loop-triple toe-double loop combination,
followed with a triple axel-double toe, and it was over
right there. He was far too good for the rest of this
field, finishing with a score of 167.67 points in the
free skate and a personal best of 258.33. The rest could
forget about gold because this is figure skating at it's
very best. And the music from the "Godfather"
is apt - because that is just what he is: the Godfather
of Figure Skating.
"Now I have all the
titles and I'm really very happy, said Plushenko. I love
skating, I love winning, it's my life."

2 axel and a combination of 3 lutz-2 toeloop. The marks
were given in 6.0 system and they were for his short

well, for myself maybe, too much. Because everything was
successful and I didn’t expect it. It’s the
first competitions and I unexpectedly did everything. I
did a quad, two triple axels, two triple lutzes and the

decently”.

Today the Exhibition took place in Moscow, I'm sure we
all missed our Plushenko! But in Moscow they showed on
the screens a clip of Evgeni while Edvin Marton plays
"Godfather" with the violin. It is also most
likely that Evgeni does not go on Champions On Ice tour.
It's not decided yet, first they have to find out the
exact state of his injury.

Sad news....A disappointing reigning World Champion
Plushenko tells live from Eurosport this morning of his
decision to withdraw on home ice in Moscow because of his
injury, the pain was to high, he was unable to defend
his title today. He had several injections before
trainings and before the short program but he reacted bad
to this and it made him feel sick. "I want to say
for my fans right now I'm really sorry. I will definitely
try to come back next season, and I'm looking forward to
Olympic Games next year and be healthy". I think he
did a right decision, his health is most important and we
all now he come back, "the old" Evgeni we are
used to see. Three unexpected took medals this year,
(such things can happen when Plushenko is out of
competition;) the Gold medal went to Stephane Lambiel, he
is a great skater, also one of my favourites, my other
favourite Johnny Weir was 4th, and our Swedish Kristoffer
B. ended at 14th place, very well done! But I had never
seen a competition like this, everyone did several
mistakes and falls...the ice was bad. Evgeni...take some
rest now and take care of your injurys, we love you!!! I
Love You!

Evgeni only finished 3rd after the short program with
73.28 points. Skating to his program "Moonlight
Sonata". The reason is that he fell on the quad and
he lost to many points by it. His score is now 111.26
overall. First is Stephane Lambiel who did a strong
program as well as Brian Joubert who is second. That
means that Evgeni needs to gain 7.02 points more in the
free skate then the others to win. Wich is possible since
he could get often 20-30 points more overall than the
second placed skater but this time it could be difficult
since he is not in very good health. He had been back on
the ice for only two weeks and he is in a bad, bad
condition because of his groin injury and hip, "
besides his ordinary knee and back problem " , so it
could be difficult. He is a strong fighter and since the
competition is in Russia he wants to skate anyway, and
win of course, and we hope for the best, even if he don't
win, we know he is the CHAMPION!!! But we hold our
thumbs. The free program is on Thursday. Our Swedish
skater Kristoffer Berntsson ended at number 13, which is
good for him. But my heart
is in Russia;) Parts of this news is from :
