Plushie in Pyeongchang

Evgeni Plushenko officially announced he's going to try for 2018 in South Korea, according to the Moscow Times. That would make it his fifth Olympics, which has to be some kind of modern skating record. He'd be beating his own record, actually...

At his press conference today, he said: "Everything that was broken, has been fixed, and there is nothing left to break. I will try to participate in my fifth [Olympic Games] and give a dignified performance."

Given his past and what went down in Sochi, I'm dubious. But he's already got four medals in four Olympics and he'll be 35 in 2018. I can't help but root for him...
