Evgeni Plushenko Olympic Quotations

I tell you the truth, this is my dream. That (2002) was not my Olympic Games. This Olympic Games is mine, that's for sure.

But this is the final preparation before the Olympic Games. After the third minute, I couldn't breathe. I was gulping for air, like a fish out of water.

It was my dream. When I was 4, I saw the competition and said to my mom, 'I have to be there.' I said that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

I'm very happy. I achieved a new personal best and I did it in the Olympic Games. This is very important to me. Everything was clean.

I'll tell you the truth: This year is my year. I win the Olympic gold - that was my dream. I win the Russian championships, the European championships, the Olympics, all events. Also, my wife - she's pregnant. Our first baby on the way. I tell you, it's my year.
