Just new parts...Plushenko is now stronger than in Turin!....
- Zhenya does not skate today
(16.09.), because there is no much sense. We showed, what we work all summer on "test skating" in the Saturday in Odintsovo. And all everything could see well. We remember well, his entire last year's series of injuries. Zhenya just stepped out from his problems. With him is now all pumped, all healed. But, where is possible, we believe it necessary to take care about oneself.
- But people come here specifically "for Plushenko."
- Zhenya can not be measured by common standards. I constantly seeing his training, filled with complex elements. Practicing each of them, Plushenko spends a ton of nerves and effort. He gives himself completely! For example, we train in St. Petersburg: Monday - two trainings, Tuesday - two trainings... And on Wednesday - already is "empty". He has such intensity, such a commitment, that it completely consumes Zhenya's. So, and here. To skate just some maquette and check something - this is not for him. If Plushenko performs, he performs at 370 degrees of Fahrenheit! If he skate, then he tear the aorta. We do not write drafts. But force him to tear the aorta at the beginning of the season, two days in a row... Why?! There will be another series of calm performances, where he will continue to skate the programs most likely in parts.
- A series of calm performances? But you canceled Grand Prix ...
- There will be shows, where he will perform the first piece by piece, then half of the Short and Free programs. Both programs are ready. "The Guitar" by Zinchuk. This is a Short program, with which we dont had some special creative problems. With Free, there was a problem. To some extent, we still looking. At first, we put with Kenji Miyamoto
(Japanese choreographer - comm.) the "Romeo and Juliet". But it did not tear the aorta... Although the program itself was good, and choreograph was intelligent, it was not going to victory. Zhenya was somehow hooked with "Rondo Capriccioso" by Saint-Saens. Rondo was good a minute, and then everything - blocked. And we have decided to include "The Dying Swan" and "Dance Macabre"
("Dance of Death" - comm.). Strange combination. Although the program is technically good. Quick, energetic start, then "The Dying Swan", and "Dance Macabre" - such apotheosis, the final, with trembling strings of the soul ... It looks very good. With this program, helped us choreographer Sergei Petukhov....
(next is same as here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=283&start=310#p73147)...I want to also tell you, that in such a physical condition, as it is now, Zhenya Plushenko was not at-any-time.
Like old wine...- Even at the Olympic Games in Turin?
- In training, he makes a lovely series of triples, quadruple jumps...
- On Saturday, in Odintsovo, he made a quadruple Salchow.
- It was not so much salchow, than a successful attempt. But along with this, Zhenya performs gorgeous a quadruple toe loop. And at the level of the best examples of all his historical career.
- He restored everything, remembered everything for the summer?
- Yes. He was not such, even in his younger years. I put my signature to this statement - and to my signature, can be trusted. "My years is my wealth" - sings Vakhtang Kikabidze, and Zhenya - he is old wine, he is now completely different from the "early Plushenko." Everything in him is deeper. More serious, more suffering...
- Why you and Plushenko decided to go to the European Championships through shows? Zhenya himself says that "he has nothing and to anyone to prove." But how serious will be this kind of test?
- Not to the European Championships, than to Russian Nationals ...
- And you will definitely perform there?
- Definitely.
- And at the European Championships you will be?
- We will.
- World Championship?
- This is our secret.
- Maybe you will uncover?
- For now, not planning. Maybe, at World Team Championship... Season we will show us everything. None of the bridges, we will do not burn.
(OK, their reason is copyright issue, but why other skater's programs are still there?)
If Evgeni adds more transitions and choreography to his LP it would be perfect 
, because it already shows Evgeni's softer part, like everybody expected. I've read some forums and people clearly like this new program. 
... there he will surely add some jumps, and more transitions in 1st part - and this will be great program! 
Program, costume looks like on "Weir's program"... Swan is "music for women"... he "stealing" some Misha Ge's moves... Ridiculous arguments!
