As Plushenko said today on Match TV, he ended his career in sports and is now opening an academy, where he plans to work as a coach. According to the skater, he came to the conclusion that his time has passed last year.

“When my cervical spine was operated on. I thought that was enough. I watch how the youth has grown, how men's figure skating has grown. It is impossible to compete with young people now - it seems to me so. There is some limit,”said the champion.

However, he does not exclude the possibility of going to the Olympic Games next year, but already as a coach. “There are already guys from other countries who want to study with me. There are guys from Russia who can also qualify for the top three and go to the Olympic Games. Now I am fully engaged in coaching and at the same time I skate in demonstration performances."

Recall that at the Sochi Olympics, Yevgeny won gold in the team championship, but due to problems with his spine, he refused to compete in single skating.
