Leg does not work 100 percent. I'm being careful about it. But I'm glad that was able to quickly prepare for the Championship of Russia. All still I had the surgery, then injected into the knees - and still rapidly prepared. And I suppose, and with an error, but performed a quadruple jump. For me it is very important, I needed to overcome the fear of a painful left foot push. "
"Most recently, in training I tried the quad, and there was a small ligamentstear - added skater. - So I'm pleased that I rotated four times. Satisfied that I finished. There are many nuances, many mistakes, there's still a lot of work on the program left to be done. But in general, for today I give myself 4+ "
Plushenko thanked fans greeted him with a standing ovation performance. "I'm concerned about public support, - said the athlete. - I know that guys and girls come from Moscow, from Petersburg, all of my fan club going. Even in Japan, people have arrived. Thanks to all of them great."
According to the Olympic champion, he had no doubt start if the championship of Russia.
"Long ago I decided to compete here no matter what, - said Plushenko. - The only thing was whether to do a quadruple jump, or replace it with a lighter combination triple lutz-triple toe loop. But just three or four days ago, I began to sometimes land the quad. Today at the warm-up before the skate, I did a clean one, and for me it was quite a surprise. Even I was flummoxed a bit, going for a second consecutive quad, but already in the competition, I twitched one. "
Skater said that for him, no matter the result, he will at the national championship. "I do not care what I take place here. The main thing - to return to the game, so the body remembered how to do that - said Plushenko.
The Olympic champion said that he could perform a more complex version of the short program.
"Actually, I had planned to stage 4-3, - said Plushenko. - But as I made an error on the quad, I did not do a triple, could not risk it. So I added a double jump after lutz. I decided that this is enough for me for today. For that very far from the ideal form, in which I am, I'm happy with my performance. The next competition will be better. "
The athlete is not in doubt, he will be there on Monday for the free program. "Why I came here then?"- Said Plushenko.
- By the way, I do not even remember how I scored?
- 88 points.
- And this is good - 88?
- First place.
- Wait a minute! That's me in the first place?

, только вот не понятно зачем??? 
Он ведь не мог забыть про Фернандеза с двумя четверными, про Жубера, который сейчас в лучшей форме , чем Женя, про Гачинского, который просто молод и здоров 
Не верится, что Урманов не в курсе того, что происходит в мире ФК. До ЧЕ месяц, хочется верить, что Женя сможет набрать необходимую форму и травма не будет сильно его беспокоить
