Our dearest Plushenko hasn't been in any competitions since the 2006 Olympics in Torino, but he's still been busy...
March 13: Plushenko was elected into the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, winning 21.9% of the votes for the "Fair Russsia Spravedlivaya Rossia" party.
April 10: Plushenko says he will return to competition, after, "seeing the results of Russian skaters in the World Championships in Tokyo, I have decided to go back to competition. I want to keep Russian figure skating at a competitive level. I want to bridge the gap so our younger skaters have to train and be competitive, which should be in a few years... I feel strongly that I can be competitive and ready for the 2010 Olympics. I am doing triple Axels in my show programs on the Russian tour and landing quads in my practice sessions." He wasn't on the Grand Prix lists, but maybe we'll see him at Euros? I hope so!
April 20: Plushenko was recognized as the most stylish sportsman of the year at a Russian "Fashion Awards" ceremony.
May 19: Plushenko is training with his coach Alexey Mishin in the Spanish city Haka for the 2007-08 competitive season. He says that he has "made a decision to remain in amateur sport."
