Evgeni Plushenko: "The first car I won in 14 years"
This winter the ice show "Snow King" was one of the highlights in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The main star of the fantastic presentation Evgeni Plushenko told us about the sports dream, the best vacation and on road preferences.
School, theater, Olympics
"Snow King" is not the only project planned for the near future?
Of course, I ride a different show. Therefore, constantly on the move. In January, the competition «ProM» - a meeting of representatives of the best professional and amateur skating. Then performances in Italy - in Turin, then in France - Courchevel. Then go to the Championship of Russia - look competitions and as a guest speak at demonstrations. Summer will be performing in Japan. In the past year has signed a contract for 50 performances. If you talk about plans for the future, I really want to open my own school of figure skating. This is what we are currently working.
Where it opens?
In Moscow, St. Petersburg, there are proposals from the regions. The main thing is not to do it all anyhow. You know, many stars give schools the name, and then there is not even appear. It's not my position. If I open my school, I want to work himself, he trained. Thanks to my coach Alexei Mishin, which we now operate 20 years, I know a lot about figure skating. There is a desire to share this knowledge with young skaters.
What else besides school?
Well, the future is a theater where I would like to put every year a new show in the style of "Snow King".
When you come in 4 years skating, coach once it became clear that he had come a future champion?
Probably I should ask him, my first coach - Tatiana Nikolaevna Skala. About myself I can say that I immediately liked figure skating. Prozanimavshis only six weeks, I've got to compete. And speaking of children who went to the section of a couple of years. And of the 15 participants I was the seventh - very serious results. At age 7, I went to the Russian Children's competition "Crystal Skate" and immediately took first place. Before me, this has not happened - usually children came for several years and then something won. Why did it happen? I do not know. I just always loved his sport - it's my life, it's my job. Love for his work - the main component of success. Plus, of course, an invaluable aid trainers.
Remember all of their teachers?
Of Course. Tatiana Rock, Alexei Mishin, Mikhail Makoveev. What a tremendous contribution, of course, did my mother, who went with me constantly on the ice to train. We stayed and after workouts, doing stretching. For this it is, of course, thank you very much.
Did not give up?
While skating, particularly good, it was very difficult to obtain. Especially at the periphery. In short, I was presented with skates and was advised to go to the Palace of Sports. There just was set in the section of figure skating.
Immediately went to record?
Perhaps the same day, the next can. I then had long hair and watching the coach, and it was just Tatyana Rock, said: "This is the girl I'll take." I always took offense and said I was not a girl, I'm a boy, but somehow I was taken to the section.
How to achieve your work and how much talent?
You Yana little son. What he looks like and whether you are going to give it to the sport over time?
This is our common child, so it looks like and mom and dad. And yes, a very athletic boy grows. May become a real athlete.
In what discipline?
In a year and eight months we have put on skates. Ride, he certainly has not skate, but stomping feet on the ice well. In general, I want to give it to football. Let a variety of sports.
Ideal - SUV
Can you name the most insane, most thoughtless deed in your life?
No such was not. I always try to do everything with his head. First, analyze and then act.
But what about the fall of the bike just before the Olympics? Talked about it a lot ...
Speed is all my element. I love to travel, I love motorcycles. But after the fall of the entire collection of bikes sold. Thank God, everything happened at low speed, was not around cars. Just ran on rails and thus added gas. The back of the motorcycle skidded right ... but nothing happened.
With cars long friends?
For a long time. I soon got behind the wheel - at age 11 years, probably. And learned to ride on a mechanical box. A first car I bought at 14 years. Rather, won. Won the World Junior Championships, earned money and immediately bought dad a car.
What do you think of yourself as a driver?
To be honest, in my youth I traveled quite turretless. Of course, trying not to break the car, no one hurt, but drove smartly.
Who is peace?
Certainly. I try to drive as carefully as possible, we can say, changed their habits exactly 180 degrees. At the meeting I leave in advance, especially after we moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow, the problem of congestion has become extremely important.
What is your car? Simply vehicle status, fetish?
First of all, comfort, reliability, confidence, and security. Although the prestige and status are also of great importance.
High power, given the current neat driving style is not so important?
I have 7 cars in the garage, but I hardly ever used their power to 100%. And the rules do not allow. Is that on the road sometimes need a good stock on the gas pedal to somewhere overtake dramatically accelerate.
What car you drive now?
Our family several cars. This "Gelendevagen", C-Class, B-Class. Of course, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class - a gift for Olympic gold in Sochi.
You know, I met an opponent who just two training could learn a new complex element. With me it was not always. For example, the axel in three and a half times I tried to do 70 times per workout. 70 jumps and 70 falls. Continuously dokruchival, falling ... But after the fall, through pain, through injury for thou art element to the performance of an ideal. So easy, in one's talent does not go far.
And what of all your achievements for you the most important thing?
I do not have this, believe me. All medals, they all achieve the most-most. The point is not only in the status of the competition, but in the circumstances that accompanied them. Get at least European Championships in Sheffield in 2012. I was due to injury almost could not skate out on the ice on the injections, but through the pain still won the tournament. There are many examples. Therefore, all the credit, all the medals, all the results are equally dear to me.
After Sochi You seem to have decided to leave the sport, but in summer change your mind and announced the decision to speak at the next Olympics in South Korea. What made you change your mind?
This is such a dream - to speak at the fifth Olympics. On our planet, figure skating, skating in the men's nobody participated in five Olympic Games. No one at all. You can be the first.
But it's not just about participation?
Well, if you can win a medal, this record for a long time, no one can beat. Athletes in the men's figure skating and now do not understand how you can skate four Olympics. And five - even more so! It is insanely difficult, but the dream is a dream. If health permits, if I stay, so to speak, capable and will skate at the level of the young, then why not? The only thing is, of course, have to practice more - two, four, ten times, but otherwise nothing.
Sport change
You and your wife Yana Rudkovskaja public people. You can easily go to the movies or a restaurant and go unnoticed?
No, this is impossible. Learn necessarily. But that's part of the profession. Increased attention should not be surprised, ashamed or hide from it. And then in the movie for a long time we have been. In restaurants go, only to eat, and not hang out. But for us, like the rhythm of life, where a lot of work and little free time - the norm.
What holiday would prefer passive or active?
I love to stay at home. We have a large house, which has everything - and the pool and sauna, and gym, and a movie theater, and billiards, and shooting. For children, built for football and hockey fields, tennis courts. If possible, I like to sleep. However, active I also like. Near St. Petersburg, I bought a large plot of land next to the hunting grounds. There we ride on quad bikes, snowmobiles. By the way, there I checked the strength of "Gelendevagen." You know, if you put good tires, then it will be absolutely everywhere.
Mom brought into the section?
Of Course. A child of four years, probably nothing can even choose for myself. Although, in my case, it happened quite by accident. It was in Volgograd. We walked down the street and met my mother's friend with her daughter. The girl sobbed. My mother asked, "Why are you crying?". She answers, they say, do not want to skate, I do not like. Then the girl's mother and my mother suggested, "Maybe we'll give you the skates, and you'll do?"
You drive or use the services of a personal driver?
I have a driver, but I prefer to drive myself. Only if very very tired, give the wheel to someone else. And since I'm behind the wheel rest.
And the last question: Is there a dream car?
I had a lot of different cars, but just realized that I love only SUVs. In it, I feel comfortable, safe, and sure I can drive anywhere. Previously, it was business dreamed of exotic, on a sports car. But because bought this and very disappointed. So that only the SUV. And the more I do not need anything.
