Alexei Mishin: Now the tendency goes towards that Evgeni Plushenko will participate in the pre-season "test skating"
7-8 September in Sochi will pass the pre-season "test skating" of the Russian national figure skating team. Group of legendary coach Alexei Mishin, within the Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko, world bronze medalist Artur Gachinski and european bronze medalist Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, continues to prepare for the Olympic season at the ice arena "Iceberg".
- We already arrived in Sochi, continuing to prepare for the Olympic season at the Ice Arena "Iceberg", - said Alexei Mishin . - I would like to notice, that during my long sporting life, still has not been such wonderful conditions, which we have now. Rink is just wonderful - "Iceberg" is imbued with an aura of Olympism. Experts for ice prepared for us a great ice, skate on it's a pleasure. The health of athletes, too, there is no problem - medical care is simply amazing! Finally, brought us a specialist, who deals with Evgeni Plushenko's spine. He very well help him. A huge help provide us and Russian team doctor Yaroslav Bugaev. Now we have a very wide range of medicaments which was not available earlier. So, in the terms of the rink, health care, housing, food - the created conditions are simply stunning.
- So, your athletes will be able to worthily show themselves at the first show in Olympics season?
- Personally, our challenge - and I'm working in Sochi with the choreographer of my group Tatiana Prokofiev - do not show the best results, but to demonstrate the result corresponding to this phase of preparation for the Olympics. Until the main competitions of the season is still quite far away, and until the Games - even further. Therefore, we are preparing for the phased "test skating". Separately the athletes are ready to fulfill all, but in the context of the entire program - such commitment we have not planned. Athletes will skate and a short, and free program. But maybe someone will do with stops, someone with cuts - we will choose this option, so that the athletes looked decent. And the explanation is simple: push into the mouth piece of meat, that you can not chew - it's wrong!
- Evgeni Plushenko will perform at the "test skating"?
- Everything will depend on Evgeni's the health. Now the tendency goes towards that Zhenya will take part at "test skating". And what will happen later, what action will doctors recommend to him - no one knows. In the history with Zhenya, we dont make decisions just like that, than based on state of his health and recommendations of doctors.
