Plushenko tried to apologize to the Russian Figure Skating Federation
Evgeny Plushenko turned to the Russian Newspaper with an open letter, in which he spoke about his mental suffering, a difficult period in life and heroic plans for the future. The skater recalled what he went through (injuries, operations, divorce and terrible disbelief in his strength), before returning to the ice, win the championship of Russia and become a European champion, adding that he did all this not for himself, but for the country, for his city, for the family and coach Alexei Mishin.
