Yevgeny Plushenko's rivals were shocked on Thursday night after hearing the four-time Olympic medalist had withdrawn at the last minute due to an injury.
Plushenko pulled out shortly before he was due to skate his short program at the Iceberg Skating Palace, after stumbling out of a triple axel jump.
He quickly announced he was calling it a career.
