Evgeni Plushenko is a Russian former figure skater. He is a four-time Olympic medalist (2006 gold, 2014 team gold, 2002 & 2010 silver), a three-time World champion (2001, 2003, 2004), a seven-time European champion (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012), a four-time Grand Prix Final champion (1999-2000, 2000-01, 2002-03, 2004-05), and a ten-time Russian national champion (1999-2002, 2004-2006, 2010, 2012-2013). Plushenko's four Olympic medals once tied with Sweden's Gillis Grafström's record for most Olympic medals in figure skating, which has since been surpassed by Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue. He won a record total of 22 titles on the Grand Prix circuit.
Plushenko became the only living single skater to have won medals at three Olympics.
