Although he's one of the world's predominant figure skaters, with an Olympic gold and two silvers to his name, Plushenko has barely been seen in competition for the past year. The performance that won him Russia's sole berth in the men's singles for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, was done behind closed doors. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev, File)
