Double Olympic figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko told that he was very worried during his students’ performances.
– You put absolutely all of your students on the ice in the junior stage, although you can delegate this to other coaches in your academy. Is that how it was planned?
“I originally intended to do it. Always went with all the athletes. I just started training. It’s just that now you see more skaters than me. This time it’s five, eg. Indeed, it is quite difficult to do this nonstop. After all, it is necessary to transfer energy and not somehow get out.
I’m sitting here now, and my legs are buzzing terribly! I already spoke with my assistant today that it would be easier for me to skate on my own. However, they are all girls in my group. There are other specialists who are not directly related to my group, I do not date their athletes. But with two of my bands, I have to go out, definitely. I feel like I’m needed here.
We have a lot of great kids. A little time will pass and you will see. There are very good young girls. While they are still small, 10 years old. But I guess from next season they will already be at these competitions. They already have a 3.5 turn axle. And another at this age already has a fourfold sheepskin coat.
