Wife's nagging drove Plushenko to seek more gold

TALLINN: Yevgeny Plushenko has it all - a full complement of titles, pots of cash and, most importantly, a nagging wife.

If it had not been for wife, Jana, telling him to get his skates on, the Russian may never have returned to the ice to defend his Olympic crown in Vancouver next month.

"My wife kept going on about it," the 27-year-old said after winning European gold on Thursday when asked what had made him consider a comeback.
