Officially, the 2014 Olympics kicks off today, but for some athletes it started yesterday. Yevgeny Plushenko took part in the team figure skating competition the day before, becoming the second in the men's "single" according to the results of the short program. The Russian lost a little to the Japanese Yuzur Khan. Nevertheless, Plushenko believes that he performed well.
In the competition, Plushenko performed under the fourth serial number.

As a result, the Russian scored 91, 39 points, while Hanyu got 97, 98 points.
After the speech, Eugene admitted to reporters: it was difficult for him to perform. And it's not about trauma, but about psychological pressure. In particular, the flurry of applause that erupted after the skater's exit on the ice, he compared with a knockdown.
“I am satisfied with today's atmosphere, although it was insanely difficult for me. I plunged into a hole where echoes echo from everywhere. There are screams everywhere, and of course it turned me on, but it's difficult. Therefore, I wish all the guys to tune in and skate with the fans, because today the fans skated with me,”the athlete said.
Plushenko also said that he has reasons to go out on the ice. “People ask me, 'How are you?' I say that I'm still alive. I ride for myself, fans, sons. I am old, but alive! " - quotes "Sport Express" 31-year-old figure skater.
