viewtopic.php?f=14&t=250&start=160the second part of Ira's report
Then Zhenia’s parents and Jana came. We together with Jana continued to watch an exciting match)). Jana is also delighted with Zhenia’s ability to play football! In short, there only three players left in our team and they won !
Just before the start of the show I caught the moment when Zhenia was being interviewed by TV channel Russia. Zhenia said that he is full of energy, ready to compete and he was talking about l Worlds 2011, about Chan and Gachinsky.
At first I was awkward to turn on my camera ... but finally I managed to shoot a part of the interview to TV channel Russia.
About the show.
Unfortunately Zhenia performed only once. As he told us later at the meeting, so it was decided beforehand by the organizers (((((
At this time we're stocked up with toys, bouquets of roses. We threw and screamed, greeted him from all sides. Our main group was sitting on the opposite sector. I sat in the first row and so was able to hang up our huge banner.
When Zhenya was announced the stadium applauded him and met him well, we also shouted support as we could. When it was complete silence before the number, Zhenia was skating past me, I shouted to him: "Zhenia, you're the best! He immediately looked at me and said, "Thanks!"
He performed very emotionally, I really enjoyed it.
Although I want to review fully all the video, because there was a lot of lighting equipment round the ice rink and it interfered with shooting.
After the number I turned off the camera, it was no longer shooting up, I screamed, threw toys one by one and flowers. Girls were divided so that we could throw flowers and toys from different sides.
In my opinion Zhenia was very touched with such a welcome in St. Petersburg. He took the microphone in his hand, thanked all for the reception and said a lot of good words for Japan (some words even in Japanese) and he added that he loves Japan.
And he said he wants the following Grand Prix will be held in St. Petersburg, because the Worlds 2011 was held in Moscow.
The meeting after the show was short but very hearty. We left a huge bouquet of flowers for the meeting and Zhenia handed it her mother Tatiana Vasiljevna, who came with Zhenia’s dad and Jana. We wanted to present our banner with the caption “miss you ... “ which was at the World Cup. Evgeni was so surprised at first, he said: "For me? But you need to hang it ".... We told him: Zhenia, we’ll do more)). He said: Will you? Ok, then))). Then I added: Zhenia, we hope you’ll return!”... and he answered: I have already returned!”
Generally, he is very motivated, I did not expect such his reaction after the Worlds. He is eager to compete! It seemed to me Patrick angered him truly. Yes, he said that he skated very well .... but there was an error on 3 Axel .... And we talked a little about Patrick.
Zhenia said that the next season might be successful or not. The main thing is to hold his ground!"
We took a photo of all us with the banner ... Then Jana came and found out that we wanted to present our banner ... and said that it would be better to leave it with us, because it contains our positive energy (Zhenia said so) and they want to see a lot of banners to support Zhenia at competitions.
We asked about Zhenia’s meeting with Yana’s kids) He really saw them for the first time!
Evgeni gave autographs, took pictures even separately with us, we thanked each other. We said that we love him and look forward to seeing him at competitions!
Evgeni is just the Sun! He is so cool! Thank you, Zhenya!
PS: By the way, Jana said sometimes she reads our forum. Not always, but often)
(I suppose in order to erase pain from his face). In my opinion, the contrast between the strength of his body and his melancholy face is pure poetry!
, unfortunately I haven't found English equivalent for "gladit po temechku" 
But you understand me perfectly Alyson! 
... 
Evgeni is amazing live, isn´t he? And more handsome too... 
, Evgeni doesn´t seem very optimistic about next season, I´m worried about his health and his mood.
