I agree that next year's Worlds is going to be important for Plushy, as it is the year before Sochi. But to be honest, for myself I don't even quite want to worry about that yet. Personally, I just hope to see him get through next season's competitions one at a time, and skate well and not get injured again. This season, though with only two competitions, turned out to be successful in the end, but also so difficult. Next season he'll be another year older, and though I pray and hope that his physical condition--in terms of injuries--will be A LOT better than this season, but I still don't want to see Russian officials and media turn around so swiftly and start to take him for granted again.
(As for there being "no glory" in winning the Europeans, I rather doubt that Plushy himself will agree about that...
