Mishin: return of Plushenko is not profitably for allEvgeni Plushenko won, after Olympic Games in Turin, his first the official start - "St. Petersburg Cup". Despite a few number of errors in the Long program, Olympic champion, scored a record price for him amount of points for the tournament - 259.14. This result would allow a famous athlete to win the world championship. But Plushenko's coach Alexei Mishin told to "Infox.ru" that drawing such conclusions is unreasonably.By the total score, Plushenko is already an Olympic championEvgeni Plushenko won the first stage of "St. Petersburg's Cup". This trophy, won in the city's competition, unlikely to become the most valuable in the collection of Olympic champion, triple world champion and five-time European champion. But and even unimportant provincial medal, can says a lot.
This start become the first official tournament of the famous athlete, after more than three years. Secondly, Plushenko won again. Thirdly, he won with the sum of 259.14 points. This result in the history of figure skating has not shown yet no one athlete. Including and self Plushenko.
For comparison: to win the Olympic Games in 2006, Evgeni took only 258.33, on the basis of an long and short programs. After retiring of Plushenko's, became world champions and with lower rates. In 2008, Canadian Jeffrey Buttle became the first with 245.17 points, while in 2009 the American Evan Lysacek had the 242.23 points, to become the best singles world skater.
« Plushenko re-learning to compete »But clap and given to Plushenko Olympic gold in Vancouver right now is hardly worth it. Though, a record result was shown in native ice, with native judges and fans, in the absence of television cameras (this is before the tournament personally asked coach of champion, Alexey Mishin).
And if his short program Olympic champion managed to skate without error, then in an long program was serious blots. Plushenko jumped, nearly ultraboundary for today's figure skating, cascade of three jumps - a quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop and double loop (rittberger) jump. But with the last jump is not quite managed - after him, fell.
Then perform another quadruple, what after Plushenko in serious competitions, solved unless the Frenchman Brian Joubert. But to exit on him, his hand touched the ice. All other jumps champion performed very well.
« I am not interested in the performance of individual elements. At these competitions, our main target was not a victory and not the result. Zhenya now re-learning to compete, he will again need to enter into the mainstream of sports training. And for me, as coach, I should have at this tournament to test his psychological readiness, the ability to return to active work. Now I can say, that on these indicators, state of Zhenya is on very good level », - said in an interview "Infox.ru" Alexei Mishin.
« Already on wednesday all started ringing that Plushenko is back. It was not impossible to say then. But today (thursday - Infox.ru), where Evgeni well skated long program, I'll say: Plushenko is back in amateur sports.
I am tormented by questions about the Olympics. What Olympics? Wake up! Athlete not competed for three years. To Vancouver, to us is still, like to fly into space! But we have to work, must move forward, what we are doing. A far guess, we do not want and will », - said Mishin.
« "Bad-wishers" people is still a lot »For universal rejoicing with his comeback, already now hear disparate voices, that are any good will not. Someone complains that the 27-year-old Plushenko has closed the road for young skaters, somebody said, that return of the champion - the usual PR stunt.
« "Bad-wishers" people is still a lot - believes Mishin. - There is a group of people, for which return Plushenko's is absolutely disadvantageously. But his performances have stirred not only Russian's figure skating, than also and the world. Type of sport develops only when there are strong athletes, it is the law. And those, who say that the return of Zhenya kills young skaters, just do not know the laws of sport, and are full nonsense ».
« High-life will not interfere, if it does not there »During those three-plus years, that Plushenko was not in professional sports, he became a real "world lion". What was there not in the life of Olympic champion during this time! He managed to sit in the deputy chair, participate in the show, stay TV presenter, win «Eurovision», divorce and almost marry again.
« An active "world life" will not interfere with training, if it does not there, - said Mishin. - But now do not need to go from extreme to extreme. Disappear completely, become inaccessible to the press and fans, too, is impossible. We are not going to go into hiding. It would be indicates of our weakness.
Now many think that is for Evgeni's performances and training very easy. But that apparent ease, it is very difficult for him, and for me too. We started training in mid-June, and this is just the beginning. We still have a lot to overcome: and failures, and mistakes, and God forbid, disease.
Complexities is very much. We must fight, how with objective factors - a strong skating rivals, thus and with the subjective - the biased judges, and with stings those who do not wish us well. The athlete not stands alone, with him is and coaches, choreographers, designers, judges, fans, press. To the dignity pass all tests, we must go together », - says Alexey.
The next official start to Plushenko become the second stage of the "Russian Cup" in Perm, which will be held October 6-10, and the Moscow "Grand Prix" on October 22-25. And before that, to champion ahead another important event - a wedding with Yana Rudkovskaya.
