I know, for what I dream to go back
Evgeni Plushenko addressed an open letter in the "RG"
Dear friends!
Why I address to you, to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". Because I read regularly your sports page. Because you do a lot and professionally write about figure skating. And also, because, I will not hide the fact, that for many years, from the beginning of my sports childhood, I am familiar with your sports reporters, who have supported us, the skaters, not just in moments of triumph, but also at the complex moments, sometimes extremely difficult.
Come such a period and in my life.
After injuries and operations, divorce and horrible disbelief in my return after nearly four years absence, I still come back. My coach Alexey Mishin, wife Yana, my comrades, the federation was, like you, friends from the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", among those who knew, it will be so.
All that matters, not only in figure skating. Coming back, you should know for what you endures all sweet and not very sweet torment of training, all these injections and bandaging. For me, there were no questions. I skate not only for myself. For my country, for my town, for my family, for my coach, too. I felt in me a strength. Knew, that I could overcome the pain. Fought, as with the worst enemy with a damn overweight. And together with Alexei Nikolayevich and entire team we won and the Championship of Russia and the European Championship. Do not think, as though overrating myself, but I still believe that the Olympic Games in Vancouver, I also did not lose. Nobody will not convince me in otherwise, but who wants, let remember him about my quads and all other jumps, which missing to my opponent, to get up higher on the pedestal. In anything I do not blame him, but there is after all, and feeling for a justice.
But complete lack of it in some judges, knocked me out of the rut. I will not going to repent, but now, when the Olympic passion in my soul slightly, believe me, only slightly lay down, I see, realize that I allowed myself the rush outbursts of emotions. Perhaps, during some interviews, speeches, they and gushed. But I experienced such a pain - physical, merged with the psychical. I was offended. Among those responsible for the defeat, I saw not only judges, than also the people which for many years helped me, in many stages of my long career, even close. I have in mind, for many years the president of our federation Valentin Piseev's, the people from our federation. If they perceived some of my words painfully, I would like to tell and ask them that all superficial, which I said under influence of the moment, forget and renew our community. I am confident, that and the new president of our federation, the Olympic champion Alexander G. Gorshkov, here understands me. International Skating Union at the time dismissed me from amateur competition. But I know, that the last word in figure skating was quite not said. I passed together with Alexei Nikolayevich's full training cycle, keep weight and regime. I train at the training camp. I am still a member of national team my Russia. But the main thing is even not in this. I really want to performe for my country. I am confident that I can help the Russian Figure Skating Federation, with which always before I found a common language, to win a medal or even medals in Sochi. After all, I was back not only because, to skate season or two. My dream is to perform on the Olympics at home. And unlike the Baron Pierre de Coubertin, I have here my principle - not just participate, but and win. At the least, I swear, do not condemn me for high style, I will give everything for it, which only is, which only is possible.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Evgeni Plushenko
Olympic champion.
