		Platov and his peers had an hour of ballet daily in their training regimen.
		Platov suddenly found himself unable to practise at times because there was not enough gas for the Zamboni, and fled to the U.S., where skating academies eager for their expertise welcomed an exodus of Soviet coaches and skaters.
		Platov praises Fetisov for initiating a program where Russia gives every single Olympic, world and European champion a monthly pension of 15,000 rubles, roughly $550 (U.S.), a prime example of how much greater sport and its traditions are regarded in these parts.

		Every competition that Evgeny and I went to, there was always a controversy and people talked about whether or not we deserved to win.
		Evgeny and I couldn't give the first place to ourselves; it's what we got from International judges, all over the world.
		When Evgeny and I realised that Usova and Zhulin wanted to get rid of their competition - us, Evgeny stayed in Moscow to skate with me. It upset me because people never mentioned Tatiana, just me. It was always that I try to break up the family.

		And for those whose jobs it is to direct the young talent of today, that means their work ethic - built through the adversity they faced in their homeland and fine-tuned along the way - is a huge factor in their coaching roles.
		Evgeny Platov summed it up: "I always thought coaches had it easy, that as skaters the pressure was on us.

		Two-time Olympic Ice Dance Champion Evgeny Platov works fulltime with Tarasova, often acting as her feet on the ice as she designs programs in her mind.
		It's a small world in figure skating and testament to that is the fact that nineteen-year old Griazev once trained on the same ice as Yagudin back in Russia when Griazev was just a kid and Yagudin's career was just about to take off with his first world title.
		Platov, 37, says although he's known Yagudin for years, the experience of working together with him is different than what he expected.

		NAGANO, Feb. 16 — Russians Pasha Grishuk and Evgeny Platov tacked a second straight Olympic gold ice dancing medal onto a string of four world championship victories at White Ring ice rink tonight.
		But in ice dancing, there is an unspoken tradition of allowing more mistakes by the current champion — evidenced by the Platov's and Grishuk's victories this season despite their falls.
		Grishuk said she and her partner felt immense pressure not to repeat the errors made previously, and that was why she began sobbing at the conclusion of the free dance tonight.

		Zhulin probably felt that if he wants his team to keep their titles/domination he has to merge forces with someone in order to secure N/K first spot at the OLY, and since Platov has a lot of respect and credit, he became the best choice for him.
