Sounds like he is. The direct quotes from him say that he wants to compete from the beginning of next season (though realistically other than Senior B events) he will only be able to take part in Cup of Russia if the Rusian Skating Federation invite him to it. He'd not likely make the GPF (no bad thing in an Olympic season).

He also sayd he's back to training two or three times (i presume this is sessions) a day.

Oh for Pete's sake!! Why?? He was one of the best in his time but now, imho, it's time he moved on. I too will believe it when I actually see it.

What does this mean for the present medal hopefuls? How will he compare to the likes of Kozuka, Chan and Abbott?

Not to mention the "old guys" - Lysacek, Joubert et al. Can't count any of them out either. It's a very deep field. All eyes will be on LA Worlds.

I just meant that he has competed against the "old guys" before so we have some idea about how he stacks up in comparison. Chan is a new senior and even though Abbott is older, this has been a breakthrough season for him.

Alexei might object to being called old :biggrin:. But definitely, I'd be much more honored if it were Yagudin or Stephane Lambiel.

Maybe Patrick Chan should start working on that quad.

I agree about Alexei. The title of the thread is just taken from the first statement of the article. To be honest, I never really like him much. I much preferred Yagudin.

And from what I've heard, Patrick is working on a quad.

He keeps making these announcements to the press; does anyone know if he's made them to the Russian Fed? Last I heard, even Piseev was skeptical about the "comeback."

I can't read french. did he actually say he was training to compete or does "being present" mean that he will do commentary or skate an exhibition?
