Athletistic/Figure skating. Two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko spoke about his son Alexander’s success on the ice and his other activities.

“Yana and I have always dreamed of children. Since I have been involved in sports for a long time – I competed until the age of 31 and participated in four Olympic Games – we thought about where to send our son: tennis, golf, but in the end we decided on figure skating. In addition to ice, Sasha plays football. In early August, we will open a football academy at Plushenko’s Angels.

Am I comfortable on stage with my child? I appreciate him, I constantly control him, I watch him. He is doing well, well done. Sasha knows that on the ice I am a coach, and when I take off my skates, I am his father. Otherwise, it will not work,” Plushenko said at the “Knowledge” conference at VK Fest.

  • Plushenko said he would be ready to compete in the Olympics under a neutral flag.
