I watched Artur skating and all the skaters too, because they are my competitors, big masters,” said Plushenko at the press-conference. “Artur skated worthy, at a high level. Marvelously did the jumps well, and the whole program too. So apparently today he won. I simply cannot compete with him today with the program, which I performed today. But I am very happy with my little medal, no matter that it is silver

The Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko considers, that Gachinski skated worthy the short program and deserved the highest marks at the European championships
