Evgeny Plushenko?

[Anne Fisher]

hello Seelangers,

I am curious about the routine Olympic gold medalist Evgeny Plushenko
seems to have skated more than once, to Tom Jones's "Sex Bomb." The
video is fantastic and widely available on-line - he wears a blow-up
muscle suit over his torso and arms and strips to a gold lame Speedo,
which doesn't prevent him from delivering all the required jumps, etc.

Does anybody know more about this? Why did he decide to do it? Where
did he perform it? What was the reaction of the professional skating  
world?

Please reply off-list to afisher at wooster.edu.

Thank you,

annie fisher
