Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko has commented on his son Alexander's transfer to the Azerbaijani national team.
Plushenko wrote on his Telegram channel: "I thank everyone for supporting my son. I am especially grateful for Alexei Yagudin's words. A sports career is short and difficult. It's hard to find 'dinosaurs' like me who competed in the Olympics at 31. I appreciate everyone who gives a chance to my 13-year-old son Alexander."
It was reported on May 21 that 13-year-old Alexander Plushenko will change his sports citizenship and represent Azerbaijan.
