Заслуженный тренер СССР и России Алексей Мишин: «Гачинский настроен серьезно, Плющенко всех удивит»
Translation (the Plushy part):
Alexei Mishin: "Gachinsky is serious (about skating), Plushenko will surprise all"
[...]
- Unfortunately, we wont see your other pupil - Evgeni Plushenko in Moscow.
- For Zhenya everything is ahead. He trains now a lot - in St. Petersburg, and in Novogorsk, where he works on his program with Aleksander Zhulin. We will work hard in terms of both: artistic content of programs, and physical fitness. Zhenya does special exercises on simulators, he spends a lot of time on the ice and in the gym.
- Why did you decide to work with Alexander Zhulin?
- I've always been for skaters working with several choreographers - a wide range of specialists. Nothing blurs the vision like a permanent co-operation with the same choreographer. Moreover, we are constantly reworking the existing programs, all the time looking for new steps. Zhenya wants to amaze everyone next season.
- It is clear that Plushenko's return to the team will raise competition among the boys. But will it not kill their hope?
- I think here too everything is clear. Zhenya's presence in the team - it is always an incentive, a freshness, a desire to go forward. We need a leader who can lead the team, so his return will definitely have a positive impact on our entire team.
... really?)
