I know I belong to that very small group that actually want him to do well, but I like his attitude because having follow him for years and of course this season, this is actually the attitude he has embraced for this Olympic season, to skate clean and what will come will come.
Apparently he is also hoping for a bronce so he'll have his whole set but like he said now, he said before leaving to Russia that even if he ends 10th he won't care as long as he skates well. And I hope he does.

Russia figure skater Evgeni Plushenko told that he is ready for any outcome at the Olympics in Vancouver.
"When it became known that I came back, all were waiting for me to fail, they even took pleasure of it. I read articles on the Internet and in some forums it was written "Hope he falls, why has he come back he has taken the place of other athletes, the train is leaving and he is still trying to jump in the bandwagon - and stuff like that.
To speak frankly: I will accept any result. Sports are sports and much of it depends on luck, even more because you need the best of it in an specific moment. From nerves and endurance. From the judges' fariness. To me, the most important thing has already happened, it was possible to comeback. And at the Olympics to me it's important not to disappoint myself - to do everything that I do in training. That's enough " Plushenko said in an interview to «HELLO!».
