A.Mishin:  Evgeny pulled a groin muscle at practice in St. Petersburg and it's still bothering him. Sometimes it makes jumps painful, so we decided not to take any risks there (at Nations Cup). It would be pointless. 

Evgeny about the new program: It's not completely polished yet, so I skated the old one. However you'll see the new LP  soon. Maybe at the Grand Prix Final in December or even at the Cup of Russia in St. Petersburg. For now we call it: "Some pages from an actor's life." It's about different things: tragedy, laughter, meditation -there's a place for everything in it. It will be interesting. 

A. Mishin: There is one more reason why we didn't hurry with this program. Zhenya used to show new programs at the beginning of the season and the competitors had a chance to make adjustments in theirs. We no longer want to reveal our cards ahead of time.
