Alexei Yagudin, or Gachinski! Muahahahahah
Gachinsky? They are in peace..
Alexei Yagudin, or Gachinski! Muahahahahah
I think his body is looking good. I was not crazy about him when he had the extra weight...not that it was really that bad, but I just prefer him slim. Also his hair and style improved after he got together with Yana. Though I notice he tends to wear the same clothes a lot...which is fine, nobody really needs a million pieces of clothing. And I remember how small his closet space was in the Japanese documentary.
I see plenty of comments on here and other places about Plushy's so-called lack of artistry. Some people just have a very narrow view of artistry and can't accept that there are different ways of expressing one's self. I can understand if someone says the choreography is lacking in some of his later programs, but when they try to pigeonhole him as "just a jumper," I know they are talking out of their... He has so many creative and varied programs, and he sells each and every one of them.
And it's finally happened...Plushy gets nominated for the ice bucket challenge. http://instagram.com/p/r-Az-QuUBE/
Please take pity on a poor person for whom Instagram is not working (she whined self-piteously) - who nominated him, and how did he do?
Instagram's not working for you? That's terrible! Well anyway, he was nominated by some guy from Muz_TV and he did good! Complete with what appeared to be some sort of karate yell at the end.
Also amusing was the guy who poured the water, who was all dressed in white and looked rather srs bsns.
All kinds of athletes, celebrities, regular folks, etc. There are different website viewers for Instagram - maybe those would work for you, LRK? Try this:

Plushy's one of the few who doesn't shriek like a baby, but seems to enjoy it. But I'm pretty sure I've seen him get doused by cold water before...maybe in his tv show when he went to a sauna.
And yes to the blue shoes. They look awfully comfortable, though.
Here you go: the ice bucket challenge in GIF form.
Does he have a man-servant? Looks like this was done at the resort in Sochi, but I thought he was already back training in St. Petersburg. Maybe it's another hologram?
I have the same feeling. I mean I love Ravel but Bolero, to me, is just a good example of a crazily extra-grated monotone.Oh, Smekalov choreographed that for Liza? I'll have to watch it again. I generally dislike like the Bolero music (and Kovtun is using it for his SP as well, heaven help me), but I will just keep the volume low.

Is it bad that every time I'm reminded of this, I just burst into laughter? It's just so... absurd. I hope the actual product doesn't turn out to be boring, because I'm expecting a lot!I generally dislike like the Bolero music (and Kovtun is using it for his SP as well, heaven help me)
Maybe he made some pretty :scratch: comments in 2010. It's kinda hard to know since Olympic videos are all deleted. I remember the Canadian commentators gave the impression that he got a mandatory deduction for that one-second pause or something.
Yagudin's SP was better than Plushy's that year, imo. Plushy only got the good SPs (Adagio, Moonlight Sonata, Aranjuez) after Yagudin retired. I'd argue with Carruthers after the LPs though.
I'd forgotten Tango and Flamenco! Another great (post-Yagudin ) SP. I think Tango and Flamenco + Nijinsky at Nationals 2004 might be the best two combined performances in his career (other favourites: Adagio + St. Petersburg 300 at GPF 02-03, Moonlight Sonata + Godfather at GPF 04-05). Bolero's not really to my taste... something about the hands and the step sequence.I don't remember what said Carruther in 2010 but I know he had bad words on Plushy. This is what I remember. I love Plushy's Bolero and his costume too. And probably my favorite Sp is the Tango and Flamenco in 2004.
