Olympic figure skating champion Alexei Yagudin At a fan meeting on the Moscow Sports Day in Luzhniki, he said that Evgeny Plushenko will be able to recover the triple axel.
Earlier, two-time Olympic champion Plushenko said he plans to restore his three-and-a-half-turn axel after spinal surgery.
— Will Plushenko be able to recover his triple axel?
– Of course, it’s real. Zhenya has always been stubborn. I unfortunately lost touch with multi-rotation jumps. I ended up with an unfortunate triple sheepskin coat. And then – on the tablets, with short breaks.
The difference is that I do different things. Zhenya has been on the ice all his life. He trains every day. When you are on the ice every day, you don’t lose it so quickly. And I skated and appeared on the ice after a week or two. Because theater, organizing events, etc. Zhenya will do a triple axel, I’m sure. I am a man with an iron thigh, and he is a man with an iron character.
— Are you ready to win the TV show tournament for the third time?
“I didn’t expect to win a second time.” The first victory was a shock. The second is a shock from the other side. I really didn’t expect it. He did his job: the unfortunate sheep jumped, he didn’t forget the poem. I did everything. The judges decided so. And the third time… I don’t know. At 44, you can’t plan like you did at 15. It will be cool if they do something again, Zhenya and I will be there. If I see his triple axel live… he deserves the deepest respect,” a correspondent reports, reporting Yagudin’s words.
In 2024, Sports Day in Moscow is dedicated to the Year of the Family.
