EVGENI received his award as the best Russian figure skater 2010. Poor bb was very sick during the show, and he was with his bodyguards all the time. So Alena Leonova and Katarina Gerboldt (in the photo on the right) had to sneak their way to give him his prize, and he had to take off his medical mask and he was very worried about not getting them sick.
