Artistry on Ice, Taipei 03.08.2014 - whole show HD - Playlist, 6 parts : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVze-YWYNijM92hnFQd0CbHWIAQiFqwVk

Fan report from Taipei "Artistry on Ice 2014"
Anne, fan in Taipei, mini repo:
**At the airport**
plush48.gif


Since it was only 30 mins before the press conference began, all the skaters could hardly stay for any while.

Plushenko and Edvin were the first 2 guys walking out the gate and we immediately screamed out with crazy voice.

Plushenko smiled to us and both of them waved to us.
Edvin even took out his cell phone and started to take photos and recording video.

The staff hurried Plushenko to take the shuttle bus but the nice Plenshenko still made a stop to receive the flowers and gifts from his fans.
bp.gif


We prepared the Peony, which was the king of all flowers in Chinese culture and we thought it perfectly matched to our king of figure skating. Melody gave him the poster of him and his wife, Yana, and we told him today was the Chinese Valentine’s Day.

I gave him the action figures of his family including Yana, Salsha and him. I told him this gift was for your family and I hoped you all happy and healthy. http://evgeni-plushenko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=372&p=84663&hilit=anne+repo#p84663

He replied to me with his smile and said “this is great and you are so sweet.”

When the staff came to push him to go on the bus, I reached my hand to him and he held my hands in return.

He was so gentle and I felt happy and touched. Although I wished this moment forever but the truth was we only had very short time and then he went on the bus heading the press conference.

**The press conference”**

Before the press, Plushy sneaked out to say hello to us.
Dear God, I couldn’t describe how beautiful it was when I saw his blonde hair shining on the ice in the dark.

He pursed his lips and waved to us.
After that, he sat with Edvin at the edge of platform, laughing with happiness from time to time.

The background music was Tuscany and the best of Plueshenko. I thought I could die for all of these.

**During the press conference**

Plushy was a naughty boy and kept stealing the cue card from the host.

He blew many kisses to us and I caught one of the kisses, sending it back to him.

Seeing my action, he pretended he was shot with folded arms.

Before he left, he passed by our seats and kept pursing his lips with the sound “Mua~mua” just like kissing to all of us.

After the show:

"Sorry for my poor English and expression.I'm too excited.

We have waited for his return anxiously for the past 700 days. Finally did he come back here on the ice after going through so many things.

What a years for Plushy and there are too many things happened, he winning the gold, withdrawing the Olympic, undergoing the surgery and even breaking his blade before the show in Taipei.

I was frightened to death when I saw him walking out the rink with Johnny’

I can’t remember other skaters’ programs. They just passed like running water.
As the time getting closer and closer, I started to shudder.
My heart was on fire but my hand is frozen, not to mention my body almost falling off the chair.

Finally, Edvin played the violin,the melody in my dream millions of times, Tosaca. Plushy stretched his arms,and skated.

It's like a dream come true.

Everything has been completed and satisfied.

It was not bad to hold the banner since it really caught Plushy’s eyes.
Plusheko threw lots of kisses and showed off his best gestures as feedback for our welcoming.

Plusheko did really take care of us.

I screamed just like the end of the world when he performed the Tosca.
What’s more, I couldn’t make any sound as if someone squeezed my neck on the Best of Plusheko.

I even forgot to breathe because of all the memories from each piece of music and movement, this music coming from “the God Father”, that movement from “Tribute to Nijinsky”, and thenTangoarmo, and St.Petersburg300….

20 years of Plusheko was in the 4 minutes’ performance, the best of Plusheko.

I am willing to sacrifice everything to have you in my life."

Thanks to @pulumitwins - she again uploaded some old Plushy's videos (1999-2005) which been deleted from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeg1aJMvQ8xwZOzpyShGkkhn3jKCy0Ivh

Plushenko would have been in panel discussion "Sport" on Russo-Japanese forum in Moscow yesterday. The organizer were told that Plushy would not attend the forum because he went to St. Petersburg due to the sudden illness of his mom...Akiko Suzuki was there and Rodionova instead of Plushy.

Akiko:
Akiko Suzuki: Plushenko's work is important for the interaction of Russia and Japan
Russian and Japanese athletes can communicate without interpreters
....

Japan Champion in Figure Skating, Akiko Suzuki, extolled the Sochi Olympics, she talked about how close and friendly communicate our skaters. And then she paid tribute to the All Japan idol: "Such as Plushenko is, define our good relationships. How many fan clubs he have in Japan. Plushenko's activity is very important for life and interaction between our two countries. After all, we're neighbors."
....

Are you talking about the Snow King cape? I don't think that the Snow Queen in Andersen's tale would be christian. :grope: The costumes made by one of the most famous Russian fashion designer. The show will be very expensive and unique. Acrobats and wizards....

This is an awesom interview - google translating
full Russian transcript http://www.rusnovosti.ru/programms/prog/23395/343233/

Matveev: Today is waiting for you a very detailed conversation about figure skating, because our guest is a terrific guest, the renowned figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, two-time Olympic champion, also a seven-time European champion, three-time world champion, and, in general, the only athlete in the world, who spoke at four Olympics, and it is not the limit. Eugene, says he can go on his fifth Olympics, is going to perform there in 2018.

E. Plushenko: Hello, good evening to all! Good mood, I talk with you today!

Matveev: We have a good mood when we got to know that you will come to us for a visit.
E. Plushenko: Thanks for having me.

Matveev Eugene, really hard to believe, but you are in sports, figure skating more than a quarter century, but you always appears to us different, and always surprise us. And even today, you have come to us in a completely different as the creator of fairy tales, it will be the name your show that you are cooking. In December, we will be able to see this. I heard that 200 athletes involved in your show "Fairy Tale" that will teleport that Brian Joubert will. Tell us how you managed to prepare this?
E. Plushenko: Let me tell you in detail. I've always tried to be a new, varied, and, by the way, I want to say that this is a long-standing dream of mine to realize, realize, make a show, a fairy tale, and that was fun for kids and adults. Yes, we are currently preparing a new project called "Snow King". This fairy tale "The Snow Queen," based on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen". We thought, you know, all over the world have in Japan, in China, in America, in Europe called the "Ice King" - is Ice King, well, due, perhaps, to figure skating.

Matveev: And you decided to match?
E. Plushenko: Yes. And we thought, and came to this idea: why not change the name and add some natural innovations, some of their ideas.

Matveev: Russian even definitions.
E. Plushenko: Yes, and to make a fairy tale "Snow King". It is true that will ride and Brian Joubert, and Johnny Weir, and Tomas Verner, acrobats on ice will be. You know, too, have always wanted to do, I'm a fan of the circus.

Matveev: Many, yes, love this idea.
E. Plushenko: I think that everyone likes. This is a crazy circus, this is crazy in a good plan unique athletes, artists perform there. And I've always wanted to do something on the ice that's the plan: that it was and acrobatics on ice.

Matveev: grand and unique.
E. Plushenko: That it was and calisthenics to it were flights to naturally were big stars of figure skating, it was great to cool scenery that it was the monitors. You know, we have recorded for this tale, specially made film, that is, during the fairy tale will be shown on the screens of the film, that is, it is specifically done.

Matveev: Well, the main thing that you will take part in this action, you will have the unique jumping almost eight turnovers.
E. Plushenko: I will naturally take the most important role will be to perform, I will first prince reveal a little secret, the good prince. Then enchant me, and I'll be snow so evil king, but in the end will naturally happy ending.

Matveev: It ends well?
E. Plushenko: Yes, there is a new element: eight turns on the ice.

Matveev: Well, how do you execute it?
E. Plushenko: You know, if I'm going to tell you everything, it will probably not be interested. You know, the more we take part of our great magicians Brothers Safronov, who will do the magic on the ice. They solved the seven secrets Copperfield, and they show them in this fairy tale "Snow King".
Matveev: And it turns out that Moscow sees this show, Saint Petersburg will see this show, and then later on you're going around the world to present their tale?
E. Plushenko: Yes, this fairy tale world, that is, we will go to Japan and China, to Europe. Well, of course, I wanted to drive, be sure to want to drive through the region, because Moscow, St. Petersburg - it is naturally our two capitals, but would like to travel and in Krasnodar and Rostov and Sochi, and in Novosibirsk, Omsk, Yaroslavl, everywhere , everywhere, everywhere. And we certainly realize, certainly do. I want our audience, the audience saw Russian Russian fairy tale, which is made in Russia.

Matveev: Is it true that you own money invested in the organization of this show?
E. Plushenko: Yes, it's true, I put svoisobstvennye money, and I did not take any credit, did not take anybody, I do not have to date neither sponsors nor anyone. I believe in this project, I believe that it is very expensive, this is a quality product. It will be interesting, say it again, not only for adults, but it will be interesting to children. This is a family show.

Matveeva: The more you have a huge following among children, you have children growing up too. Surely they have already seen the pope not only on television but also on the ice come to your workout.
E. Plushenko: I want to say that Brian Joubert will for the first time, he will ride with me, by the way, in the story, for the first time will ride in pairs.

Matveev: Just Katarina.
E. Plushenko: Katya Gerboldt, yes, our skater.

Matveev: They will serve us later in Russia.
E. Plushenko: They plan to play for Russia in the pairs figure skating, and want to go to the Olympics, where, in principle, and I plan to go. But Brian Joubert will have to ride in pairs, and I may be, if all goes well, I will always like to ride. And I want to remind also that the tale will take our unique great athlete, it's Ira Slutskaya, my friend. I love her and respect. Ira act as Gerda.

Matveev: What are you talking about? It seems to be thought that it should also be a princess or a fairy, it turns out she got the role of a negative. Well, the more interesting, and now the word to our fans, your fans, I guess.

Listener: In fact, this year's performance was perfect, but I had to still serve the outset only the team competition, and figure skating had still to concede Kovkinu. I would like to ask the next Olympics you want to speak too, would like to know, still on the team competitions in fact you would be able to participate, and in a single, I think you should not.

E. Plushenko: I asked this question a lot and talked. I want to say that we have the selection occurred. It was the championship of Russia, it was the test skates, then it was the European Championships, and the Federation has decided that I am more ready, more prepared, more stable at a competitive level, and we have decided to act. I want to say? I felt fine at the time, and in the team competition, I felt fine. After the team tournament injury occurred just when I was warming up 6 minutes.

Matveev: Before the presentations?
E. Plushenko: It was during a performance in the six-minute warm-up on the ice the injury occurred. I do not understand what happened, but I refused completely right leg, I had an unreal pain, I realized that there was something with his back. Of course, maybe if I rode the second or third, the doctors could do any injection, ie, anesthesia, but after my removal, I came in a week to my doctor to the surgeon who did my operation before the Olympics, and inserted me the screws.

Matveev: It happened in Israel?
E. Plushenko: Israel. I insert these screws and was installed artificial intervertebral disk, and when the image is captured, he told me that "you have a broken screw."

Matveev: In fact, these screws, say, to the extent reliable, and generally give a guarantee that they can withstand the load, "Kamaz" hundredweight, ton. Here is a saying that "Jack, you will have a back reliable material that can withstand just about anything." Is it?
E. Plushenko: Yes, 7 months before the Olympics, I had surgery done, and I have installed this design: 4 screws and artificial intervertebral disc.
Matveev: And you went on it in order to perform correctly, at the Olympics?
E. Plushenko: I naturally went, sacrificing their health to perform at the Olympics, yes, to make a record, to help the team, to help Russia and the fans, and basically, I was in decent shape. If we recall the team tournament, I made all the elements performed, by the way, the first of our team. It was insanely hard, because all the fans cheer so I just wanted to close. I tried to shut down, such as to put the unit, but received such a knockdown. The atmosphere was amazing gorgeous. But back to these screws: the doctor told me that "do not worry, do not worry, you can jump quarter-jumping, though quinary, the design will stand." And he led me to an example of the construction can be broken only if you stand in the middle, and the two cars you get knocked down, and only then can break. Here is such as would be an example. Of course I'm not worried. With regard to reliability, yes, but the design is, unfortunately, did not survive. With respect, if I had to give way to someone you know, it's a sport. If you are a sports person, then give way - it's impossible. Need to prove the contrary, you need only go contrary to victory. And as to this athlete, you are called, he won the European Championship 5th place, and we still have the other athletes who won and second place and third place.

Matveev: Ravens, for example.
E. Plushenko: You know, just put up such a fuss is where all appeared athlete. This happened after all the championship of Russia, when, due to the fact that I have not yet healed back, and we stuffed in her mouth quarter-jumping. And you had to just quietly skate at the Russian championship and make a minimum set, and I climbed up on the advance, he wanted to make two quarter, and he, that an athlete I run-in. It was a sensation! 10 years Plushenko took first place in the championship of Russia. Of course, it was a sensation - a young athlete to break in a decent athlete Plushenko. It was a sensation, but if we take, let's take all the ins and outs, previous history: before the Olympics was the selection for the year, it was the World Cup. How many of us men would go to the Olympics?

Matveev: In the end, we got only one offer, our guys could not win.
E. Plushenko: Sorry. One athlete took 17th place, another finished in 18th place, or where the 15th and 17th. This was all forgotten, and everything, and do not remember. So, unfortunately, there was one offer.

Matveev: And there was still a closed car. Many in the crowd, we also discussed what was a closed car, called and said: "Why suddenly decided to close all? What's so bad about going on? And why in a closed box decided to send Yevgeny Plushenko? Why are you suddenly closed, not only from the fans Sochi, namely a closed box? "
E. Plushenko: I'm no one is closed. It was a requirement or else I do not know how to say it, the Figure Skating Federation. It is in the area of 30 people, the entire leadership was. You know, I remember the Soviet Union, when it's leadership in some leather coats, coat, all in black sat quietly in the corner. "Well, ready to ride?" "Ready." "Let's go." That is, for me, this control was rolling like a mini-Olympics. I was not allowed to make any mistakes. If I skated poorly, then no one would have me sent. You know, I read a lot, too, comments: "Here, Plushenko went to the Olympics because of personal ties there, or something else, they agreed." My friends, all my life I ride, that's who wrote it, all my life I ride, all my life as I can remember, only brought prizes from first to third. I always tried to do, if you do a show, it must be unique, if you do some kind of program, it must be unique, if you do the choreography, it should not be like anyone else, if you do stage, then make the first four three two, for example four three three. If you do the rotation, then do the rotation, which does not make the man - it's like Bilman. And to do first, and do something unusual. Therefore, there is no cronyism was not, it was all deserved. Yes, unfortunately, I could not get an individual performance, but I'm also a human being, we are not robots. If I was a robot, it would be possible to ride. But also want to say that I first began to speak after the Olympics, first came on the radio, on television, on the radio for the first time it happens. Not all, but many have said, and big men, and famous people: "We had to go to the end, and ride."

Matveev: But many respond to this: "In order to become disabled?" Question is asked, many of the same fans meet.
E. Plushenko: Fans say: "It could go on and become invalid." And to whomever I needed? Who would I needed? I gave joy to my skating, and I have something in front of many demonstrations of a fairy tale. And then I also want to say, if it is health, so we'll ride and even in sports.

Matveev: In 2018 the fifth Olympics.
E. Plushenko: Well, we we will not run so far, but this season I want to skip to recover fully, and the next season I do not exclude it. We have already started, by the way, and put a short free program, there is already a blank. First, you need to start with a little competition can be a trip to the championship of Russia, the European Championship, the World Cup and the Olympics until 2018 the first look.

Matveev: You are so industrious, so reckless, I think you have to figure skating has a long time to perform. Eugene, everyone knows you - this is natural in the world, but everyone appreciates your career in different ways: some people say that you are insatiable, like that has everything you've been on top, and perhaps it is time to give way to young road that times have not won gold in the individual, it is time to leave. On the other hand, you are so telling about figure skating, so tell about life in the sport, I even think that you just love their job, love figure skating and just so used to do all these things that just can not easily get out of the game, just like that. If you have the strength, the desire, the more you get everything. Even if not everything works, you still love and want to do it. What motivates you in fact, can now tell?
E. Plushenko: I love figure skating, it's my job, it's my life, first of all, it's all mine. Figure skating is everything to me, so I have an insatiable? Yes, probably, insatiable. But you know, I want to say to myself, may not be correct to say I do not like talking about myself. But at age 31 in men's figure skating, no one rode. Do not ride one for 4 Olympics. I remember that after 2006, when I won the Olympics, it was the second Olympics, I went to the three years of the sport. I did some demonstrations, shorter bummed. And I'm so tired, to be honest. And of course, thanks to my wife Jan, she still I somehow convinced that we have to somehow go on a third Olympics. I twisted it to his temple and said, "Ian, it's impossible! In 27 years, no one riding at the Olympics. It is impossible. "And I went, and I think that Vancouver I won, I was given second place, but I think it was a victory, but not the essence. But then, of course, made me angry.

Matveev: But then the program you had all seen, even the most who are not versed in skating, that you have been more difficult.
E. Plushenko: I was naturally angry, and I said that I would go to the fourth Olympics. That is, it was principle, this word. If you've given my word, I have to implement it, to perform. At age 31. Some people from my team did not even believe that I will be able to skate. There must also go out and do quarter-jumping and skating on the control I made two quarter jump. And I want to say, many people say that there was no control rentals, it's been through connections.

Matveev: But the team competition were?
E. Plushenko: Advance rental also we show necessarily. I want to say that most of the I want to write in the book, that is, I want to write his book, and about the Olympics, and how training was, and about the operation. That is, many, many, well, such as if my life. Necessarily want to write, but it's in the near future.

Listener: Eugene, you are, of course, well done, all in sport to sport. But I would like to know your attitude to the creation of children's boarding schools, it is free to our children to develop, not only for the money somehow crawl up, but those who can not and are not professionals.

E. Plushenko: Thank you very much, I do, it is always and support "for" it. You know, in the future I want to do my figure skating school, to begin in Moscow, for example, or St. Petersburg. And in general, I want to do in all regions, in general, across the country, and to do and master classes, and to be sure and children's homes, and gifted children, so they naturally went for free and engaged, as it were, for example, in the Soviet era. In Soviet times, I was engaged in figure skating for free. That is, first you had naturally somewhere to get skates, sew costumes, and doing free. Of course you need, be sure to do it and recover. But I want to say that now a lot of schools, and, in my opinion, even in some of the Sports Palace have free schools, but they are certainly not enough, their course a little, but you know I'm not a politician, I'm not a sports official, but do not rule out that there may be in the future through sport somewhere and go. That, and then we'll change something.

Matveev: A coaching you interested? I have heard that you have trained a few guys trying to train.
E. Plushenko: Yeah, you know, I was already after surgery somewhere in 6 months, one month ago I was in Japan, and China. And in Japan, I went for a drive with Yuzuru Chania - a new Olympic champion, awesome people, awesome athlete, unique, brilliant athlete really is. We trained together before the show, and he comes up to me and says, "Eugene-san, you can see the jump?" I say, "Yuji, of course, is not a question, come." He took with me all the quarter-jumping, we began to train a cascade, a triple axel, a quadruple toe loop. That is the Olympic champion, respect everything went. And yes, coached, and I coached the Spanish and coached our guys, but it's just like this on a friendly basis, but in general I have been the team and coaches and choreographers and coaches in physical training. I want my school, I want to train our children, our athletes. I have a lot of proposals and the Japanese side, and from America.

Matveeva: The truth is that to you after the Olympics came representatives of America and said, "Come to us, speak with us?"
E. Plushenko: Yes, speak for America, it was a conversation, we met.

Matveev: It turns out Evgeni Plushenko deals and golf, and fishing, and goes on the hunt, and wrote the book, and in December, will present an exciting ice show "Fairy Tale", which will be Brian Joubert, Irina Slutskaya and, himself Evgeni Plushenko is important. About America, where would you really want to continue, maybe after the fifth Olympics in the future to live, to act? You generally interested in overseas?
E. Plushenko: I want to say that from the United States - it was the second sentence of 15 years came to me and offer my coach to play for America to ride in America, speak, they offer all the conditions, the house offered us the salary offered.

Matveev: Better conditions than us?
E. Plushenko: Then all the conditions were not. That is, 17 years ago, all the conditions were not.

Matveev: And you refused?
E. Plushenko: We Aleksei Nikolaevich refused. We stayed in St. Petersburg, Russia, to skate for Russia. There was a proposal after the Olympics because there was a negative from some people in my party that's supposedly betrayed Russia and not made.

Matveev: Presumptuous.
E. Plushenko: Not made, yes. But basically, when they saw that the operation was done, that pulled this whole structure that was broken screw, then there are people who understand and adequately put yourself in my place, and, in principle, all sorted out. Therefore, I want to live, ride, train, do only in our country, the country Russia.

Matveev: But many fans, perhaps it is now appreciated, even listen to and someone wondered. By the way, today I saw the news: Did you know that, it turns out that 60% of Russians have moral authority among the famous citizens: 36% of them call your moral authority of President Vladimir Putin, and the athletes were mentioned Evgeni Plushenko, Irina and Andrei Arshavin Winner. This moral authority. It turns out that you - the moral authority of the athletes. It was a survey of fund "Public opinion", he spent the summer, and its findings were published just today. By and large, perhaps you could take a high ranking place to relax, play for fun golf, getting a lot of money, but you do for the love of skating pay for their health. You just really are giving your health, it is not everyone can do and have probably no one would argue with this. You do not feel sorry for yourself?
E. Plushenko: My friends, honestly want to say that nobody has done this before me, but I want to do first, but I want to do something unusual, we would like to establish some kind of record, I want to change it's age limit, for example, the age limit in figure skating. Recall the girls 16, 17, 18 years.

Matveev 15 even.
E. Plushenko: Well, 15, is in general, Tara Lipinski take: in 15 years, and she left, won an Olympic gold medal and she was gone. And where is she? What is she doing? Oh, nothing. So it was possible to do more, to ride as much as the ride. Men 21, 22, 23, 24 ceiling Everything all gone, gone to what do? Ride in the show, so what? You can still open at this age. During these years, can create. There are just athletes who love to ride only in shows, and there are athletes who love the competitive history. So I love to compete. I am in life with no one to compete, but I'm competing on the ice. Initially, when I came, when my mom brought me, put on ice and I said, Here I'll just all ".

Matveev: first.
E. Plushenko: The first naturally.

Matveev: Well, over the fifth Olympics, you will again come out of his state, look, feel and understand, to go or not to go?
E. Plushenko: Of course, I think that if health permits, it will be. A few years before the Olympics, you need to ride and prove that you're the best. Why am I too want to go speak at events? Because it seems to me that the point is not set. If I spoke, was able to speak at the event in an individual form, and act with dignity, at least come in the top three, then I said, "Well, everything has to be good." And here is the point of no wrong point here. Yes, I could not, because of health, I could not speak, so I want to prove to everybody who's opened their mouths that Plushenko is not a coward, and he did not betray the country, he just could not speak due to health, because it was broken screw in the spine.

Matveev: And if the golden point and it will not turn in 2018, is an ellipsis, was also already a gold medal in Turin. Maybe if we had a gold point or do you have this passion engulfing and strength is there, everything is there, why?
E. Plushenko: Well, look, well, too, all in figure skating, won the gold medal and run, run, run everything.

Matveev: And calmed down.
E. Plushenko: So what? Let us do something else, let's Ride. Look, Brian Joubert, he could also leave, he rides up to the present day. Let us recall Stephane Lambiel, who in Turin took second place and returned to Vancouver, we were together. Yes, he did not go more in Sochi, said: "Do not want to compete, tired, tired." But he continued his career, and a lot of athletes. And look, Yuna Kim returned Korean, Olympic champion in Vancouver. Why should she? Her state in general everything is paid at 10 or 12 million dollars a year in her official salary. She needs something? No.

Matveev: Excitement is haunted.
E. Plushenko: It's not a passion, because, first of all, if you feel worthy, if you feel healthy, if you're willing to do, we're creative people. Why are you sitting at work or people? That you love your job?

Matveev: Of course.
E. Plushenko: I love my job. There are, of course, the work that people hate, do not work. And like, for example, the work, I love to create.

Matveev: This is the answer to all those who ask, "Why do not you go?" Regarding Brian Joubert, who will participate in your ice show "Fairy Tale", which will play for Russia with our baby girl.
E. Plushenko: Brian Joubert will perform for the first time in my "Tale" with new partner and a new form in the pairs figure skating. And it will be, by the way, to compete and to play for Russia in the pairs figure skating.
Matveev: He is 30 years old already. How do you assess his chances, as well as their own, as high, that maybe there is no limit?
E. Plushenko: That's fair to say: where are the age at all? What is the age at all? I do not understand is some people in the head sits some nonsense, frankly, nonsense.

Matveev: Many players, you know, do not like to believe that all 35 years old - is the limit.
E. Plushenko: I mean, my friend Alessandro Del Piero, he's still playing football, playing at the highest level. All his life he played in Turin, was a unique athlete, he says, "I do not feel some kind of age!" Him 40 years, but he does not feel. We played hockey, I do not know, Larionov, Fetisov, Wang Gretzky played much, Fedorov played. If you already feel, well, you can not, for health can not, then, of course, have to go and check out. But if you feel, if you have the potential, if you feel it's health, if you are willing to do, to continue and to work. That's your job, it's your creativity.

Matveev: Just many fans took Brian Joubert, as if he had all the most important thing to do, the world champion, European champion, and now comes to Russia to earn money and to be so visible.
E. Plushenko: Usain Bolt, well, a unique athlete, well, awesome, great! Fig for him was still the Olympics? Came and broke all. And everyone said, "Bolt will not run, can not!" Yes, because he feels because he can do something, because he has, as they say, not faded, it has potential. If Brian Joubert feels fit and well, if he feels that he can act in pairs, so let acts. Of course, it's easier to sit on the couch with a bottle of beer and chips, and all the criticism: "Why did it, and what this does?"

Matveev: You can still ask why foreigners us, for example, silk will train a group of coach Nina Mozer, will train German Russian pairs? Why Frenchman Brian Joubert, if we have another huge number of artists, and I would like to make them even more. Why do we need to figure skating, where we have succeeded, foreigners?
E. Plushenko: You mean, let's take the first question now coach Nina Mozer - Assistant, is a silk, yes. But you know what she has extensive experience in figure skating? They are, in my opinion, the multiple world champions, I do not remember how many, 5 times

Matveev: Five times, in my opinion, yes.
E. Plushenko: Five-time champions, imagine what a tremendous experience? Imagine this athlete who just now finished sport, what he can give training, what he can give farewell.

Matveev: So, we are giving work again for foreigners, and not his. How many of us coaches Russian who would like to support.
E. Plushenko: No, why, now finished, we all Russian just train. We now coached by Alexander Zhulin, and our great Artur Dmitriev, a multiple Olympic champion, two-time Olympic champion and medalist of the Olympic Games. But I want to say now finished in a few years, other athletes and coaches will be, and they will also be trained.

Matveev: In general, do you think we have in Russia for all room enough?
E. Plushenko: Look what our country! I also want to say that thank you very much, that built a lot of rinks now, so all run out of space.

Matveev: At least at the rink near the house. Just a few words about their children, please, about Alexander, who always appears in two years on the Internet. Dwarf Gnomych in Instagram, if you see, is the son of Alexander Evgeni Plushenko, which slightly less than two years, but which constantly appears on the internet and different signatures. Tell me, why are you so early in a child with internet connected?
E. Plushenko: You know, this is a unique child actually. I love him very much and he is so Clever, ugh, ugh. This is my, of course, the greatest pride. Olympic Games Olympic Games, or screws with screws, but the kids - this is, of course, for which we live. And you know, now we have, at least, I broadcast ends, I run to my bullet Sanka. I want to say that I still have the eldest son Yegor, 8 years old. This is my first son, whom I adore and love. He is now in St. Petersburg with his mother, attending school, playing football, but I want to say that I still have, well, for me, they are my sons: it's Nick and Andrew, Ioannina children who are 13 and 12 years old. One is engaged, playing golf, and the other is engaged in professional football. Tomorrow is a game, I'll go look, I'll go. Imagine, now, by the way, I come and write dictation.

Matveev: So why in Instagram?
E. Plushenko: Well, why not? Look, what is the interest in people, see how many subscribers!

Matveev: I agree, yes.
E. Plushenko: Well, that's why, that people liked it. It's a beautiful baby, baby what a charming.

Matveeva: The beauty of it is necessary to show.
E. Plushenko: Look, what positive boy. So seeing his Instagram, again - good to recharge energy.

Listener: I do not have a question, and thanks to: the Olympics, you just went out and saved the figure skating in the big sense of the word.

E. Plushenko: Thank you very much.

Matveev: Thank you very much, but Eugene, I wish, perhaps, at the fifth Olympics everything went well, and finally this long-awaited gold.
E. Plushenko: In the new season, let's say that, in the new season.

Matveev: To the new season importantly no health problems were not.
E. Plushenko: I think that everything will be fine!

Matveev: Thank you talking Evgeni Plushenko, who for the first time after the Olympics has agreed to come on the air and tell really, what were the problems, what were the best of luck this year and most importantly, what lies ahead. We have a "Fairy Tale".
E. Plushenko: I think that we forget all the problems. Who will restore health and once again I want to say that adults come with children, and the children came with adults at my tale, which is called the "Snow King".

Matveev: In December.
E. Plushenko: December - Moscow, January - St. Petersburg.

Matveev: Wonderful invitation and thanks to Evgeny Plushenko.
E. Plushenko: Thank you very much to all the fans, all the critics. Critics for what they criticize me, I'm getting stronger, I'm getting angrier. Fans thank you for your love, for your dedication, for your faithfulness. Plyuschatam all my hi, fan club my greetings. All love, all health, and above all a good evening, a good weekend, bye bye.

Matveev: Thank you. Evgeni Plushenko was today we have a guest.

I am going to the Edvin Marton concert here tomorrow night. I am wondering if he may mention Plushenko and even show a few clips of his skating while he plays the violin? It's going to be interesting. It will be great if he plays Plushenko's music and also T&M's music (I think they used his music twice for their LPs)

Can you believe I went to the Edvin Marton concert after work tonight and discovered it was canceled 3 weeks ago? My friend had bought tickets on their website. Apparently they had sent an email to her but in the subject line there was nothing about the cancellation, so we went there separately, had a nice dinner together and went to the performing arts center in Mesa. We were directed to the ticket office and were told about the cancellation. We got refunds of course but it was disappointing because i had looked forward to it for so long! I hope he comes here in the future.
