When he returns in the race?, IN SEPTEMBER !!!

I dont know where to put this, i hope here is ok!
sara said on the forum that she saw his warm ups in torino and he did 2 quads with one hand down the second and 4 times 3axel, and he looks in great condition. Also other italian girl I had met in Milan told me that plush is in great condition and did something like his training there, not only warm up.

Every place is good for this news!!!

I do not understand that bold part ... what hand down?

P.S. Sara was on the training? ... any videos or photo from her, or other girls?

in one quad he put his hand down to keep balance, thats all
i have some photos but it is the girls with plush, i have not put them in the forum either cause they are private, no photos from warm ups, I think sara told me that his italian sitewill put some later.

OK - if only "keep balance"

Maybe you cuted this girls? ... only if is Plushy look "interesting" on them
His "official" italian site? (I almost forget on them )

Medals keep in mind

... Among men, the situation is much more intricate. Now this kind of figure skating is not the unconditional leader, as once Yagudin and Plushenko. French Joubert, seemed successor Plushenko, sometimes "surprising" - in "Staple center", a leader after the short program, he stayed in the end only with "bronze": and all because of the unexplained failures Axel. Swiss Stephen Lambiell has completed his career due to health problems. Czech Tomas Verner often in conflict with the nerves. So the formula for success in the men's singles skating is simple: unmistakable clear skating. It is not the first time he wins, who prefers not to risk drops after quadruple jumps - in Los Angeles, they were Evan Lysachek.
During the competitions of men, did not leave me thinking: with return of Plushenko on the ice, he would become the favorite for the Olympics. Zhenya said that already restored quadruple jump, and set an long program. Would it enter into the same water twice? At one time I had to take a view, that return to the amateur sports of Plushenko should not, but now, looking at how to degrade single's men (it sometimes seems that the female figure skater is stronger), as lacking leadership, as our attempts to Andrey Lutay imitate Plushenko, fighting for space at the end of the first dozens, and Sergei Voronov suffers from dangerous jumps, the second coming of Turin Olympic champion in figure skating is more than real. When will Evgeni in form, where he will be seriously motivated and set, the objective - and to Lysachek and Joubert's have narrowness at the Olympic pedestal. But look at the beginning of next season, how it will look like Plushenko. It is hoped that show business is not repressed his desire to return to sports, to be once again happy fellow.

President OCR Leonid Tyagachev: Need daily working! Will Russia have ten months, to avoid failure in the Olympic Vancouver?

Last week «The Soviet Sports» summed up the bitter outcome of winter-Olympic's Russian Olympic team at the world championships the last three years. Visited at the editorial head of the Olympic Committee of Russia (ROC) Tyagachev sad comment on those estimates, described the fight against doping and explained where took hundreds of millions of rubles in preparation for Vancouver.

... What is now the Olympics - it is like before people went to war. Of the 40 persons named by me, in the first six in the world of their species, one can enter the top three. And even be a first. In bobsleigh see potential.
In the same figure skating in America are not waiting for the gold? And in fact benefited from stock! It is still looking, has find Plushenko the strength in self to intensive training. We have it in mind. And keep towards to him special treatment. The show is the show, and the prestige of the country - it is the prestige of the country. Never would we say, not defeated the Austrians in skiing, which was number one in the world - but we did so at the expense of labor and talent....

"Old" TV reportage about Russian hopes for Olympics (brief recapitulation of results from the World Championships) - Ice Dance, Leonova, Pairs, men...

- translation from 2:20 (little Plushy from training)

... The main intrigue.... Evgeni: Hello friends, I returned!"
Our men - Lutay Andrei and Sergei Voronov - they not jumped higher than the head, but upheld most importantly - two trips to Vancouver. In light of the return to the ice Evgeni Plushenko's, situation next year be a curious. And something tells us that for the Olympic board would certainly not a hero of Turin.

I do not believed that Plushenko will return

Financial crisis has ceased to be something of a virtual and distant. Almost everyone in one way or another, felt the influence of his. Petersburg athletes, too. We went in the guests headed to the Committee on Physical Culture and Sport Vyacheslav Chazov, to find out what had to save his office today....
...

Call of Zhenya's all changed

- Olympic Games in Vancouver are not far off. Already one can talk about some prize-winning St. Petersburg athletes and prize?

- Most likely, they will not change. The Olympic champion will receive about 800.000 rubles. We do not wanted to increase prize, although aware that this is often the only opportunity to earn people. But it is now important to help the Olympians: anyone buy a rifle, someone skates. In any case, you need to prepare for heavy Olympics. Each medal is worth its weight in gold.

- One of the possible winners - St. Petersburg figure skater and a deputy, Evgeni Plushenko. Do you believe in his return?

- I will not palter, when I say that a couple of months ago did not believe. I invited to me his coach - Alexei Mishin. We talked a long time. He also doubted the prospects. But Plushenko began to train.
So, a few days ago, again came Mishin. During our conversation, called him by phone Plushenko and roar into the phone that he had just made a quadruple jump. According his voice, I realized that much can be Evgeni. Therefore, I believe that Plushenko will be able to win a medal. The question is, whether it is gold...

Again they ask Averbukh's about Plushy ... and again I quotation here - because if Evgeni's the "main competitor" in to the shows tours say something nice about him ... do not make you believe more in his assessment?

... - How do you assess the chances of the Russian national team in figure skating at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver?
- At the last World Championships the Russians have shown good results. Won the ice dancing, took third place in the pairs skating. In Canada, it will be difficult ... But the chances of one Olympic gold to us is accurate. In addition to a amateur sport going back Evgeni Plushenko. In the last two World Championships, winners from France (are not from Canada? ) and the United States, without big jumps, were far from the performance Alexey Yagudin's in Salt Lake City, and Plushenko's in Turin. To Zhenya is enough to reach its previous level and learn new jumps. And according to his spirit of "champ", artistry and charismatic - he has no equal. But the most difficult - to withdraw from secular life and enter into training mode....

Up to Vancouver - at your fingertips

... Will, of course, to fight for Olympic medals, and students of Oleg Vasiliev, Maria Muhortova & Maxim Trankov, who at the «world» fifths, and ... Evgeni Plushenko, persevere in practice «Jubilee» under the direction of Mishin. Of course, Turin winner's have to prove their place in the team, but today, all specialists in one voice say that if Plushenko will not prevent injury - be it by double Olympic champion. In the Federation of Figure Skating St. Petersburg, sincerely hope that Evgeni is still made in 2010 in the country of "maple leaf" as the leader of the Russian team.

- "Evgeni - worthy candidate for the Olympics, he is preparing, and if there is no force majeure or other obstacles, in the men's singles skating in Russia will be medal" - said the head of the Federation of St. Petersburg, Oleg Nilov.
- "By mid-year will be clear and we know, who will represent the country in Vancouver, in men's skating. But a year or two ago, about this situation, we are not dreaming"...

I have an important question for one who knows very well the rules of the ISU.

"- il sorteggio per l'uscita in pista iniziale sarą fatto dividendo gli iscritti in due gruppi approssimativamente uguali in base alla posizione dell'ultimo World Standing;
- In seguito al risultato del programma corto, saranno qualificati per il libero i primi 24 singolisti e le prime 16 coppie di artistico (Mondiali Senior e Junior), i primi 20 singolisti e le prime 16 coppie di artistico (Europei), i primi 20 singolisti e le prime 12 coppie di artistico (Four Continents);
-TRANSLATION
the drawing for the exit in initial footstep will be done approximately dividing the affiliate in two equal groups in base to the position of the last World Standing;
- Following the result of the short program, they will be qualified for the free one the first 24 singolistis and the first 16 couples of artistic (World Senior and Junior)
the first 20 singolistis and the first 16 couples of artistic (European), the first 20 singolistis and the first 12 couples of artistic (Four Continents);

These recent changes, to face the economic crisis that has also struck the world of the skating, won't make difficult the reentry to the competitions of Plushenko?
Sorry but I don't like a lot the rules and I have never interested in this!

i dont think so, this rule reduces the skaters from 24 to 20 (singles) for free skate in Europeans and 4Continents, i wouldnt think plushy would be the 21st!

And I do not follow rules ... but what said Dimi: probably he will not be 21st

Here you have a news, about "new" number of judges on the Olympic Games :
#entry319595107

I will begin to study seriously the rules...I promise that I will apply more

but I am afraid that with the new rules, the athletes that have not participated recently to Europeans championship or world championship , could be penalized!

Certainly also I know that the 21 place Evgeny doesn't know what both! He is an" AUGUSTO"

I think that it for him only necessary to participate in the National Championship, to be "officially" entered in the Russia team ... for all the international competition

What is: AUGUSTO?
