RUSSIAN star Evgeni Plushenko fell in the short program on Thursday and dropped out of the European figure skating championships in Zagreb with a back problem.

Florent Amodio of France took the lead in the men's competition.

Plushenko fell while trying to execute a triple axel and placed sixth before deciding to drop out of today's free skate. He aggravated a chronic back condition.
