Plushenko won't compete until Worlds (?)

Plushenko do not take part in ChEuro05

This is posted at FSU. He probably skip Rusian Nats and European, go directly to Worlds this season.

I hope he dose not get the same flame as Michelle got. Both he and Michelle deserve a break before Olympics year. Fans should be grateful they even stay in the sports after the dissapointment at SLC.

Plushenko won't compete until March 2005

Original
Figure Skating. Plushenko won't compete until March 2005
Three time World Campion Evgeny Plushenko announced his intention to decline all competitions until World Championships that will take place in Moscow, March 14-20, 2005. The skater made the announcement right after his win at the second Russian Cup event in Samara.

According to Plushenko, he needs the break to gather his strength for the World championship and 2006 Olympic games in Turin.

This summer, the skater had pneumonia, and was at reanimation at a Moscow hospital; all through last season his was bothered by a leg injury.

As I posted in another thread. Hope he diddn't get the flame of MK get.

At their level, less competetion schedule may indeed benefit their overall skating. May be Mishin and Rafael had a talk? lol.

This information is false. Plushenko's agent already denied this and informed a statement will be released here.

It is a relieved that it was false news, it was already weird though because Evgeni made a interview last saturday in Prague where he stated that he is going to compete in CoR, Russian Nats, Euros and Worlds.
