2014 Olympic figure skating champion Ekaterina Bobrova admitted on that she had no doubts about high class Evgenia Plushenko during his performance in the Games team tournament.
Bobrova, partnered with Dmitry Soloviev in ice dancing, won the team tournament at the Sochi Olympics. Plushenko also won gold in the team tournament, after which he withdrew from the singles competition due to back pain.
— On the podium there is already a feeling of victory, when the medal is hung, when the Russian anthem sounds, only then. I had no doubts about Plushenko. It’s classy, no one skates like that now. He lives every second on the ice.
After the team tournament, we flew to Moscow and rested a little. Then they pushed for the gold medal. We aimed for bronze. But by the decision of the judges, they took fifth place. It was shameful. Behind the scenes games are possible.
– What is the Amateur Figure Skating Association that you created?
“You put on skates, you put on a costume, the judges judge you and you get medals. This season the association organized 16 Grand Prix stages. June 6 – final in Moscow. More than a hundred athletes. Next season we want to organize a Russian amateur championship,” Bobrova said on .
The Sochi Winter Games took place from February 7 to 23, 2014.
