No final decision on Plushenko
Print Edition
Russia’s figure skating federation yesterday emphasized no final decision has been made on selection for the Sochi Winter Olympics in February after star skater Yevgeny Plushenko said he planned to only take part in the team event.
The 2006 Olympic champion Plushenko, 31, said after coming a surprise second behind Maxim Kovtun, 18, at the Russian national championships he would only be competing at the team event in Sochi and let someone else represent Russia in the individual. But Russia’s skating bosses appeared taken aback by his announcement, with federation general director Valentin Piseyev saying Plushenko had spoken “out of emotion”. “The final decision on who will be the main representative and who will be the reserve will be taken after the European championships” in Budapest in January, he said.
