Yes, it does, he just says that he doesn’t think anyone can win a Lysachek type of victory now, and so you need to get technically stronger. He speaks of Medvedeva then.

Is he trying to draw a comparison between the two of them? Because, no offense, Zhenya's about 30 times the man Lysacek is...

Wow. Plushenko gave a great interview. Really, one of the best ever. My respect to him. Whatever his political affiliations, he sounds like a caring coach and person.

Just clicked on this link and RT.Com showed me a pop-up inviting me to 'Join the ranks of foreign agents, sign up for our newsletter." Nice, uh, marketing there... :rofl3:

What he means is that Evgenia doesn’t have the technical arsenal to overcome younger girls with 3A and quads, so he doesn’t believe Zhenya can hope for anything unless she starts landing quads.

Zhenya still seems to want to win Beijing though... maybe if she works on her skating skills to max out her PCS, fix the Lutz edge, puts her combination last in her SP and do two 3-3 combos in the free? Basically do all that she can to max out her BV and scores without 3As or quads, although I don’t know if that would work...

yes, I understood that. I thought he was making the comparison to the time when Lysacek did exactly that against him at the 2010 Olympics, and saying that Zhenya shouldn't be hoping for the same thing to happen again. And truly, i think Zhenya's both smarter and tougher than Lysacek so, I'm sure she already knows. 

 

@FlyingCamel the thing is, if luck is with her, that might be enough. But in this case, 'luck' involves hoping that none of the quadster girls puts in better skate than her on the day. Which, since it's the Olympics and the pressure is sky-high, could be something that happens. ice is slippery after all. Personally, I think Zhenya knows she needs a quad and wants one but getting one isn't easy.

WOOF

I have my own version of all correspondence, but I will definitely never publish it anywhere, since I am a law-abiding citizen. It's a shame that there are such illiterate citizens for whom laws are not written. I hope their lawyers will explain Article 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to Tutberidze's headquarters. In between their workouts.
