Very possible he will win medal at worlds 2013 or most likely win it, if he skates clean, then Russia will have a chance to win two medals in men at Olympics 2014 in Sochi.

Gachinsky will be like Plushenko in 2001, even better, of course if he stays healthy and skates clean.
Plushenko has a lot of work to do to stay ahead of everybody, so far he is achieving very well. His goal is Olympic gold medal in Sochi, and he will do everything ( and he does) to win it fair and square.

Of course, his goal the gold medal in Sochi, and he is working so hard for it! But he said he would be happy, if he would stand on pedestal. Yes. We, his fans would be happy, too. He will be 31!!!

But it seems that Plushenko also has good programs and is in good shape.

She praises him this time, in a good way. She says everybody praises and delighted to see Plushenko at russian skate test in Novogorsk this week.

It seems as he worked really hard to be where he is right now. I never had doubt Plushenko will catch and even surpass everybody, because he has so much experience, and he loves to compete.
