Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Patrick Chan
"(Evgeni) Plushchenko is an Olympic Champion and Olympic silver medallist and a many time World Champion and he's from many great generations of figure skaters with Alexei Yagudin and that whole generation even before I hit the senior levels at international level. so he, I would agree that he is definitely one of the best Russian figure skaters in the world, in figure skating history. There's no arguing that and he's earned his spot here because he's worked really hard and he's shown a lot of experience and you can't teach experience so he's got something that not many other young Russian skaters have."
