Translation of
Irina's reports. I also added some information from other girls posts and videos.
" When I was coming to Zakaryan (to ask for meeting with Zhenya after the men’s short program to congratulate him), Zhenya saw me and waved with his hand to us, smiling – come here to me.... So we ran to him and took seats nearby. We were very glad and happy. He asked: "How are you doing?". Then Yana who was sitting behind him said «Hello, girls!» We haven't noticed her first)))
We congratulated Zhenya for his birthday on behalf of our forum plushyfriends! We gave him two pillows.
There is Sochi Olympic symbol and an inscription «Happy birthday Zhenechka!» on the 1st pillow. On the second pillow there are Olympic mascots and there written - From your plushyfriends with love! ))
Alyona recited a beautiful piece of poetry (
by Alyona and Yuliya’s mother! ). It was very touching. Zhenya, Yana, all of us liked it very much. Alexandra gave Zhenya a horseshoe for good luck and happiness. … We didn’t buy flowers on the 1st day for we were not sure if he was going to come ... but the next day, of course, we gave him a lot of flowers.
He liked our new banner. I showed it to him and he put his autograph on it.)
He is always very glad to see banners... They always look for them. Yana asked me where was one of the banners hung ....I showed. It was high and aside from them; there wasn’t other place, the banner is very big (the one where «May your dreams come true» is written). She said: «Yes, this one!» They were very glad and Zhenya asked to hang it up in front of them so that it could be seen better)).
I did it the next day. He said: "Great!"
Unfortunately the text of the new banner was not visible from afar but Zhenya read what was written on the other banner - "We miss you Zhenya!" It was clearly visible from the opposite tribune.
…
We didn’t ask him about his haircut) We asked about his leg, about Saransk, new costumes (t
hey already have sketches but he didn’t tell what color they will be), his son Egor, master-class. He himself began to ask me about kitten Axelbush ..... , he talked very warmly with us.
Zhenya introduced us to his violinist (Edgar, I think), he said «These are my friends»! Zhenya is so sweet!"
