There was no transfer or Russian TV, only to a local (cable "Sport")
Sorry, translation is very "addle-brained", because a large number of words in slang and some "internal abbreviation" and little "wandering in mind" .. but, only to feel the atmosphere
(also, it seems to me that is a fan of Yags) [http://aakela.livejournal.com/36778.html]
And all because of a surprise, which for us was carefully prepared by our Federation... But about it later.
Then indicative action, actually, has begun.
It is necessary to notice that we were in the high spirits, therefore each of figure skaters, leaving on ice, has been assured that the fan-club sees in our person. Cries, an ovation, the request for the child and attempt to be thrown out on ice, certainly, were pleasant all. But I will especially ro Prober, with love glancing in our party and left after performance from ice not in the gate intended to it, and to that that was before us.
In general, all went the turn. We reacted, be touched, admired, applauded. And in passing, having armed with the field-glass, looked out those whom have shamefully missed yesterday (yes, Yagudin and Plushenko on any really were). As a result, thanking bejaune, sent SMS exact "imperial co-ordinates", we were found out by Plushenko. It by tradition, he seat with Rudkovskaya on back to in the next sector. In the same place also Kostomarov, by the way, seat.
To admit, for any moment I was forgot, and have regained consciousness only from a kick of Tali, whisper to me in an ear that Jouber, leaving from ice, have selflessly rushed in embraces of any man in a business suit. Then I have not given it value. The man is the man, whether is not enough...
... After Jouber (last) Hohlova with Novitsky, become by champions in dances acted. Then on ice have left ALL.
And here, while each of participants exit on ice with the "royal carpet", we have understood that directly before us, at a side, Plushenko, Navka, Kostomarov, Yagudin and a heap of other stars Russian skating crowd and rumpled. Yagudin was in a "business suit". Here Talya also recognised in it that man, whom Jouber embraced.
And here... The "mysterious" man's voice in loudspeaker declared that now there will be a surprise promised earlier. It appears, this year for Russia became anniversary. Has passed exactly hundred years from the moment of reception of the first Olympic medal on figure skating. Therefore right now, on our protruding eyes, anniversary rewarding of the Russian champions should take place.
We it is silent buzz with happiness.
On ideas organizers participants and champions Cup of Russia-2008 have risen at one side. And at other side (directly before us) have spread a carpet path where on one began to be caused Russian honored at a celebrations. Rodnina left the first. Behind it of Zaycev, Gorshkov, Ovsyannikov, Navka, Kostomarov, Tikhonov etc... under the list. Each of declared before to take the place among, passed by already standing Russian skaters and kissed them.
Somewhere in the middle to a carpet have invited Yagudin.
At once behind it, certainly, have invited Plushenko.
Yagudin, has fairly kissed all on a cheek, has taken the place in a system and gauging.
Plushenko which have left behind it, having kissed all on a cheek, has stood face to face before Yagudin. And with a malicious grin... slowly... it was pulled to it by lips, aiming somewhere in nose area.
We continued silently buzz.
As a result, without having reached to Yagudin's persons of all some centimetres, Plushenko has tastefully given smacking kiss to air and has artfully recoiled.
We have howled. Loudly. It occurred in metre from us.
The Zhenya from unexpectedness has moved, has darted at our a mad glance and has hasty risen side by side with Yags.
We continued to howl selflessly.
Then (under ours howl) them have started to award, handing over boxes with any medals. Yags all time tore to start talking to Plushenko, intimately tending to it. But that, impudently ignoring the OTP, scornfully looked in other party. Probably, was afraid Rudkovskaya which all this time observed it at a side.
During all this action the forgotten participants of Grand Prix stood at other side and with a lonely kind applauded Russian champions.
Jouber did not applaud only.
He did not applaud quite in a pointed manner, having crossed on a hand breast. His face in the face of got a crimson shade that was especially appreciable against a snow-white suit.
Probably, Jouber was not too happy that on tournament CoR he has won, award again and Plushenko.
We, basically, understood it.
And here... At some instant Yagudin suddenly seemed that will suffice already to stand and it is time to make a lap of honour. For this purpose it was necessary to be developed "locomotive" and to go. Therefore Alexey Konstantinovich Yagudin, ignoring all around, has turned to companion Plushenko, put hands to it on shoulders and has thriftily developed Turin winner a back to itself.
It is necessary to notice that the Zhenya was obediently developed.
So they also stood any time.
Yet have not realised two things:
1. The others while do not go anywhere;
2. Anybody does not go anywhere, because they not on ice, and on a carpet path. And without the skate.
Therefore a lap of honour, cannot make.
Has then burst fireworks, and all of us showered with gold tapes. Under music "Here you leave on ice" honored at a celebration and participants of Grand Prix began to leave a skating rink, trying to be entered by two ranks in the same gate. We, reverentially having stood, at it looked. By all geometrical calculations the Zhenya and Jouber should face exactly in this gate. But here Evgeni Viktorovich, being the skilled intriguer, it was sharply accelerated and, having parted forcibly everything, has jumped out from ice the first, having left red, as a cancer, and unsatisfied Brian's, far behind.
And all of us is still silent buzz, and entangled by gold tapes, did not believe all that have just seen.
Here, actually, and all story.
