OMG, I love stuff like that! And awww BB!Plushy! Although it makes me feel oooold that that was 18 years ago!

I assume that list is from most fave to least? Good choices I just watched Plushy's Vancouver 2010 FS. Still can't believe those jump landings, what a boss. I'm not sure even Yuzu or Javi could have saved them.

Then I watched the Torino FS, with Canadian commentary (I don't remember ever hearing it before) - which only reinforced my belief that Dick Button got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning, NBC's commentary was such a downer! You would never have thought you were watching the best skater in the world if you just wandered in.

Anywho! Hello fellow Plushy fans! I disappeared on you this week because I've been working hard on that jigsaw puzzle, it's evening 24 now.

But the Family Plush have been busy despite quarantine.

Right, I better be off, the jigsaw calls! See you next time, stay safe!

Definitely 1. Best to 8 least

Haven’t seen 2006 with Canada commentary. Only US and Euro I think

Thanks

I thought I posted to this thread a few days back, buy apparently not!

I'll put what I wrote underneath this, but I just popped by because I just read something startling.

Sasha Trusova had moved from Sambo-70 to the Academy!! Like OMG?! Is this real life? Should we take cover as Plushy fans for a backlash? Was this a sudden decision on Sasha's part? Apparently, one of Eteri's coaching team is heading over to the Academy too, so perhaps Sasha's just along for the ride? So many questions, but I kinda don't want to go into the Russian Ladies thread.

What do you guys think? I like Sasha T a lot, so I'm hoping this will be a successful change, I hope it doesn't end up like Nastya T though!

Anyway here's the post I thought I'd already made!

Yeah I hadn't seen it before either and since it was complimentary I figured I'd share it!

Moving along, hello fellow Plushy fans! Sorry for going AWOL again this week, it's the jigsaw puzzle taking up all my time in the evenings! Well...not all my time, I'm also reading a huge book right now.

I heard on the news a couple of days back that Moscow's going to be in another 2 weeks of lockdown, so the Family Plush remains at home entertaining themselves.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hHx9yD8oy -

There's so many questions here, chiefly when did Plushy come to the realisation that half an orange would perfectly fit Fifa's head? Also was that a first time effort? Or did Plushy have to go through multiple orange halves?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_h6gyrDOkv - Plushy and Yana can dance! I'm very disappointed Plushy never went on the Russian version of Dancing With the Stars he would have kicked it's butt.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_puS9RjVNa - I honestly have no idea -yet again - what's going on here, but honestly it's gold.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kau_qo_aZ - Such drama, such poise!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_coA9vl2pA - Honestly those masks freak me out, but Plushy and Yana are so into it :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kixhODlYY - More of Plushy and the big dogs, apparently they guard the house, which I bet they're pretty good at!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_aQGabDGCA - The Family Plush made a big donation (all these bags!) to war veterans. Nice.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_fYX7UjKsv - Plushy posted this for a Russian singer's birthday, I'm missing Plushy's skating so this is much appreciated! :biggrin:

Sasha stuff:

Hello fellow Plushy fans!

Well, we're currently in the midst of prime Russian figure skating drama, with Plushy at the centre and this is before anyone gets on the ice.

Anywho, I took a quick peek in the Russian Ladies thread, it wasn't terrible from what I saw, but I only looked at the last few pages.

However, I'm now wondering how things are going to work at the Academy now. Previously, Plushy worked with the novices and advised senior skaters like Rina Ryabova, but now it looks like Plushy will have to focus entirely on Sasha T (or he better if he doesn't want to be drowned in a deluge of hate).

So what happens with Sofia Titova and Kirill Sarnovsky and Sasha Plushenko? I really enjoy watching their journeys with Coachshenko, but how can that happen now? I'm sure if Sasha T doesn't medal at her next event, the *beep* will hit the fan. I saw some comments around suggesting that if Sasha doesn't get results it would destroy the entire Academy!

Of course Plushy is a much more daring person than me and is probably looking forward to this challenge. I don't envy him though.

I can't help thinking that Plushy's damned either way, of Sasha does poorly, he'll get all the blame. If she manages to do as well or better, people will bend over backwards to avoid giving him any credit at all.

Seems it'll be a thankless task to me.

Also...does this means the shows are over

Russian Nats happens at the same time as Plushy's big shows, so is that it? I love those shows...

But enough of my drama queening, here's some links.

Don't worry, annonymoose! I don't know why, but I'm not worried. He is Evgeni Plushenko. He is special he never chose the easy way in his life. And he rarely failed it if the problem was in his hands.

-He left his parents and his city at his 11 because he wanted to be figure skater, champion. He lived all alone in the city for one year. After he collected bottles with his mome, because they had no money. They had food.

-The older skaters hit him in the group bc he was the youngest.

-His soccesful years to Torino 2006

- In 2009 he came back after 3 years from shows (Edvin Marton said that ime was "rock and roll" for them...parties, divorce, marriage), he was fat + 10 kg. he finished second at Vancouver.

-After Vancouver he was continously injured but he won the ECH in 2012.

-His injury. WD in 2013 ECH. His surgery in March of 2013. They replaced one of his discs of his spine with a plastic disc. The doctor fixed the disc with 4 titan screws. He wanted to be at the home OG, he was one of the ambassador of the games. He was in Guatemala in 2007 when the IOC chose among the bids. But he started to preparation too early , he started the training in May!!! Some Russian mediums started to attack him.

-BTW he was at Sochi, he helped the Russian team to win gold. That was his main task. He done. Can you imagine how great was the pressure on him when he took the ice? Double pressure; he skated front of the home crowd, and he needed to prove he was the better choice. I can imagine bigger pressure for any athletes, especially on the slippery ice. He could skate two very good programs with quads.

-But we know how continued the story. The big attacks. He survived.

-He created succesful shows, with totally new technical and visual effects. He gave work for many Russian skaters. He would have been welcomed on any other Russian shows, but he wanted to creat new things..

-He opened his new skating academy 3 years ago. Private Academy in Russia! So many attacks on him! He did it bc of the money, he is too expensive, he wouldn't have been Og champion if..he is not a coach, he makes PR with it. So many malice! And the attackers didn't waste their time to know the truth. He could have been coach at any other clubs but he chose this way. Again.

-Some unfortunate trying with Sima, Nastya..They left the academy for different reasons.. So many attacks on him. He is not a coach, the academy is more about PR and money as the coaching. Some times I don't understand the posters. He invests tons of money in the academy but he doesn't work in it seriously??

-Sofia Titova's succes- no, that is not his work..that is any other's succes but not his..

-Sasha Trusova: big responsibility but he never was a coward man! His fame, Sasha's fame make this thing more interesting and exciting. I can't wait the season! I can't wait when they can start the training together! Huge responsibility but huge opportunity at the same time!

He is ambicious but he reached his goals all the time!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5NinknuQ7/ - Wars of the tulips!!

this is for Eteri!

I believe he will work the other young talented students, as he did it , but maybe they will be in Rozanov's group.. We don't know yet.

LRK · May 9, 2020

I'm not worried either. As for any "hate" he may get - well, that's business as usual for anyone who was around during his competitive days, so what else is new?

I'm sure he won't give up working with the other students. He will be able to give Alexandra plenty of time, without hovering over her 24/7. After all, she doesn't need him around during fitness training or ballet class, or whatever. And I'm sure she will be working a lot with Rozanov.

As for shows... with the situation being what it is, cramming in thousands of people into a venue is not exactly ideal. At a pinch you can have competitions without an audience - but a show without an audience is... pointless.

Meanwhile, who do you think he'll get as a choreographer. Under normal conditions I'd have guessed Emanuel Sandhu - but conditions are not normal. Thoughts?

ETA - In case you've been wondering… I need to get an Instagram account so that I can get caught up on the Angels Instagram posts. I don't WANT an Instagram account! (scowls, sulks, grouses) I am - even if I say this who shouldn't

- a grade A procrastinatrix, though, so don't hold your breath/s!

Aww Plushy! :luv17:I love how he always ends these messages like he's writing a letter "Always yours..." And if what he says is true I need to save my pennies and go to a show in Japan! It could be my last chance.

Anywho, Hello fellow Plushy fans! Hope you're all well and that you enjoyed the weekend.

I did end up commenting in the Russian Ladies FS thread, I'm not sure why I do that, I shouldn't go looking for a fight. I just hope things don't get heated in the Competition threads (when competion comes back) I might really put my foot in it there! :laugh:

One time I totally lost my mind over T&M.

Ooo thanks for these links, Plushyfan!

Good to see you keeping a level head LRK! I think that might be my problem, I only starting being a big Plushy fan when his competitive career was over.

I never experienced they "hate" first hand. And while I knew there were people who didn't like his style, it's a bit of a shock to see the personal stuff. Like I'm not offended if you don't like Plushy's arm movements, but to accuse him of actually being a terrible person? Like play the ball, not the man as they say!

I'm sure he won't give up working with the other students. He will be able to give Alexandra plenty of time, without hovering over her 24/7. After all, she doesn't need him around during fitness training or ballet class, or whatever. And I'm sure she will be working a lot with Rozanov.

That makes sense, but it's like... That's what a lot of people will expect? And I think it'd be a real shame to forget the other Angels. I just hope they won't end up feeling neglected, especially Sofia T! I like her skating a lot and think she could go far. I'm also a fan of Kirill S, I hope he stays in the Academy too.

As for shows... with the situation being what it is, cramming in thousands of people into a venue is not exactly ideal. At a pinch you can have competitions without an audience - but a show without an audience is... pointless.

That's true too and what a bummer that is too, Plushy and Yana's shows are magical (apparently, some people even pick on those? I can't even! I'd love an epic show like that to come to Australia!)

Meanwhile, who do you think he'll get as a choreographer. Under normal conditions I'd have guessed Emanuel Sandhu - but conditions are not normal. Thoughts?

I wonder if E-Man could do a bit of Zoom choreo? I guess that might be hard. I wonder what they'll do with the Sasha T too. As much as I love it when Plushy students skate to music he's skated too, that should probably be avoided at all costs. I think Sasha should skate to something cool though, nothing airy-fairy.

ETA - In case you've been wondering… I need to get an Instagram account so that I can get caught up on the Angels Instagram posts. I don't WANT an Instagram account! (scowls, sulks, grouses) I am - even if I say this who shouldn't - a grade A procrastinatrix, though, so don't hold your breath/s!

Awww, it does stink you have to get an Insta just for that. Maybe set up an email account just for it and join as your cat :laugh:

posted by Edwin on 2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

Plyushchenko: I assure you, Trusova will be a completely new Trusova

Two-time Olympic champion Yevgeniy Plyushchenko promised Anatoliy Samokhvalov that in the new season he will introduce Aleksandra Trusova, who was transferred from Eteri Tutberidze, in a new guise, and also hinted at other novices with big names.

My name prickles and raises ratings

- Yevgeniy, you are now like a pop star. It’s as if they’ve gone into show business.

- I did not leave figure skating anywhere.

- Every day, new scandals with the name Plyushchenko.

- Well, it’s not me doing it, I didn’t attack anyone, I just answered. I am stating the facts, and you see how it turns out - my name hinders everyone from living quietly, and maybe, on the contrary, raises the ratings.

- Ratings rise, of course.

- Well. So what if an athlete decides to come to me? They made the decision together with coach Sergey Rozanov. I supported this story, and with pleasure. That's all.

- When did you first have contact with Trusova?

- I will not go into details at all, but I will say this: this is a long story. Tomorrow we are submitting documents (on Trusova’s transfer) to the Federation (FFKKR), the Moscow Federation, to Sambo-70 (in the system of which the Tutberidze group works - ed.). It is necessary to settle everything in the legal field, sign documents, and then communicate in more detail. You don’t have to run ahead of events yet. On May 15, the transition should take place officially. And they already write that Yegor Rukhin came to me. I do not have and did not have such information; no one contacted me about this skater. I know that Rukhin is skating in CSKA. They write that everyone is already transferring to me. We do not take just anybody.

- Then, perhaps, list all whom you took?

- Of those those whoe were definitely taken - Aleksandra Trusova and the sisters Zhilina. As for the other transitions, they will also be announced, but this is the next stage. I’ll voice it later.

- From the Tutberidze group?

- There will be transfers (without specifying which group). I once told you that there will be a sensation. Now the sensation has arrived.

- You told me this about two years ago.

- Correct. Now the time has come. The athlete decided to move. But the story is really old. Not this month.

There will be more sensations, I love them

- Who, after all, was the initiator of Sasha’s transition?

- The athlete herself.

- What was her motivation?

- Soon she herself will tell everything that I will tell her to. The excitement is very large, there is simply a huge amount of information. Now the main thing is to make the transition. Then, maybe, we will gather a press conference. Me and Aleksandra now communicate remotely, share thoughts on programs, on creativity, on fees - we decide where we will go, which choreographers to attract. Listen, I got a call from an athlete with her parents, and they started a conversation on transfering to me. I supported them and decided that we will work together. What motives did she have, why and why, so far I have not gone into details.

- You are not interested in why she left Tutberidze?

- If Sasha considers it necessary, she herself will tell.

- For you, the arrival of Trusova is a huge risk?

- I've always loved challenges, I always went forward, my school will be number one in the near future. And I'll bring it to mind. Not just because I began to build my own ice rink. I have big plans, because I love my job and I'm not afraid of it. This year we showed a very good result with the Sarnovsky brothers, who only recently came to me. Sof'ya Titova in the end won the Championship of Russia among younger age and the Championship of Moscow. We show results. But I never say that only I have the result. In our academy a nice team of teachers and choreographers is being formed now. Yes, we did not have such super-prominent athletes, but this year we also noted for our achievements. With the advent of Sasha, the Zhilinas, other athletes, we open up new opportunities. Everyone has weaknesses that need to be adressed. I assure you that Trusova will be a completely new Trusova next season. I'll train her together with super-specialists who will work with her. And there will be sensations. I love them, so they will be provided. For me, the main thing now is to prepare Trusova so that she is a supersportsman in all aspects. Not only in jumps, but also in rotations, and in charisma, and in sliding skills, and in conveying the image to judges and spectators. We have already set this task for ourselves; me and Sergey Rozanov are on the same wavelength. He is a super professional. By the way, I know him for a very long time. I think we will succeed.

- I want to ask about your vision of Trusova. Do you think that her previous programs were unsuccessful?

- Why? Her programs were very good. She skated with dignity. But today there is no universal soldier in the world of women’s single skating who would be 100% developed both in the technical components and in charisma and skating. There are no such all arounders. Each one is weaker than the other. If we take Yuzura Hanyu, he is developed in all aspects and strong in all areas. Of course, I would like to make Sasha Trusova into this universal soldier. Exactly on these points.

- Is it even possible?

- It is possible. If you work, it’s possible.

- That is, there will be no particular profile in her work? Shouldn't she develop some kind of sportive figure skating?

- We will try to make Trusova universal.

- How can this be done? She already created this profile with a bias on technical heroism.

- Come on, she is only 15 years old! She'll still grow and mature. We are just used to the fact that at the age of 15 they are already quitting. It is necessary to change this situation. Sasha is still ahead, she is at the beginning of her journey.

I did not invite anyone, they came by themselves

- Just introducing the two-time Russian Champion Anna Shcherbakova, you understand that she is a balanced athlete, European Champion Alyona Kostornaya - that she is an ultra-balanced athlete. Sasha, after all, has a clear bias in technology.

- I do not think that Shcherbakova hasn't any weak points. There are. Kostornaya also has weaknesses if we speak from a professional point of view. I don’t want to talk about these weak points, because we will now compete. The main thing for us is to remove our own weaknesses. You need to think about yourself. We have weak points, but these are temporary. I repeat, in the new season Trusova will be a completely new skater.

- Will the jumping technique remain?

- We will partially change it. And she definitely needs stability, without which nothing will work.

- Will Rozanov have his own group at the Academy?

- Rozanov and Mikhailov (Dmitriy Mikhailov works in the Plushenko group - ed.) Will have a joint group. I don’t have one where I alone rule the ball. I have a team in which everyone does his own thing. The merit of the same Titova is the merit of our entire team.

- Will the group of Aleksandr Volkov continue to function separately?

- Yes, in which I will continue to help Aleksandr Sergeyevich.

- Will all new girls, including Trusova and Zhilinas, be in your group with Rozanov?

- Yes of course.

- The arrival of Rozanov and Trusova is one project or are they separate cases?

- One project. Trusova came along with Rozanov.

- The arrival of Rozanov was one of the reasons for the transition of Trusova?

- Apparently, something did not suit both the coach and the athlete. Seryozha Rozanov is an excellent specialist, achieved great results with athletes, taught them quadruple jumps, good technical basis. I also looked closely at his work for a long time. He studied technology a lot with Mishin (Alexey Mishin, Plushenko's trainer - ed.), And (Igor) Rusakov. He took the best from many coaches and began to stage athletes in a gorgeous, I think, jumping technique. He also expressed a desire to enter my system, to work with me. I said: why not try it?

- So you did not invite him either, he came by himself?

- He came by himself. I did not invite anyone. This is a purely personal desire of the coach Seryozha Rozanov and the athlete Aleksandra Trusova.

- Which experts will still work with Sasha?

- I can’t name them now, but they will be top-class specialists. Both Russian and foreign.

- What kind of profiles?

- Not only ice, but also specialists in general physical fitness. We need to carry out a huge, colossal range of work.

- Your next newcomers are big names?

- Very big. We have no bad ones.

Hello fellow Plushy fans, I hope you're all well.

Things continue to simmer away the latest news, it's unfortunate Russia's still in lockdown (and probably will for a while now that Russia's positive COVID cases are the third highest after US and UK now).

So after promising not to look at the Russian Ladies FS thread last post, I did, got super mad, made a post and just looked daft

then I managed to do the same in the actual "Sasha T changes coaches" thread. So yeah...

But what's totally blown my mind is I dared to look at the other figure skating board and they're actually being...normal about this. Like whaaaat? When did those guys become rational? I feel like I've wandered into a parallel world!

I understand if you are offended and can't satnd what happens there. But if we don't argue with them the other spoters wouldn't know the other side, wouldn't know some facts , details. They believe eveyrything waht they write! I'm back !

Indeed, happy to have you back, Plushyfan

I dunno though, perhaps I should be less emotional when I post, because when I do, it just makes them more set in their ways. I'm just hoping that Sasha T does well and results speak for themselves.

Yana said those flowers are not only hers, but all of the women...

That's generous of her.

Listen to the music! That is the famous Katyusha! That was sent to the Victory Day!

I do love the Academy's posts!

I followed it! Congrats!

Well, I haven't finished it yet I'm afraid, getting onto Evening 41 now.

Anyway, I do have some links!

Sasha P continues his training!

Right better be off, I haven't actually worked on my jigsaw puzzle tonight so I better do that now!

See you next time!

@anonymoose - I feel I should comment on my "level headedness" - alas, no such thing. Or rather, the reason I can keep a level head because I do NOT get involved in heated discussions about skaters I really care about. Well, most of the time, anyway.

In truth, I'm a very irritable person, and I go from "perfectly calm" to "absoluttely furious" in about five seconds flat. Well, I exaggerate... more like one second flat.

At which point, very likely anything I post, even if I may BELIEVE it to be perfectly reasonable - may be no such thing. So I keep out. I'm a believer in the adage "If you can't stand the heat, don't go into the kitchen." Ironically, therefore, I'm far likelier to defend someone I either am simply not very emotionally invested in - or sometimes even not like that much - rather than anyone I do care about! :laugh:

As for Alexandra's music - Plushy already said in an interview that she's already chosen her music. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is. Hopefully something epic.

Many Plushenko haters here spend lot of ime on sport.ru forum. That is the most disgusting forum almost without any limits. There are many Pushenko haters there. I had debates with those persons some years ago but I moved on because most of them who attacked him so loudly didn't know about anything even about his achievements or surprisingly about his results. This was their only one argument " Yana Rudkovskaya". They wrote she is uneducated ( she is a dermathologist doctor) she came from the bottom ( she came from a wealthy family, her mother is a phd doctor), she is stupid( how can be anybody stupid if she is the agent one of the biggest stars in Russia? )she doesn't work she lives from Baturin's money, (she is a workaholic she has a lots of work with those stars)...

I'm tired of those haters in the Russian ladys's and Sasha's threads....

I found these on twitter from Italian fans

https://twitter.com/salzheimer/status/1260342952188092416 it's so perfect 3A scroll down...nice gifs!

Ah so that's the secret, I need to start defending Raf rather than Plushy. :laugh:

I have to confess, even though I muted those threads I keep peeking inside and reading outrageous stuff. My personal favourite is "Oh, I have nothing against Plushenko the person even though I just posted about him being an amoral egotistical fraud who bribes sports officials" like wow, how do you talk about people you don't like?!

As for Alexandra's music - Plushy already said in an interview that she's already chosen her music. I'm looking forward to seeing what it is. Hopefully something epic.

Interesting! I read that Sasha likes Agatha Christie books (excellent taste!) Perhaps it'll be something 20s inspired! TBH, lyrics aside I thought Big Spender and the flapper look really suited her.

OMG I know, Yana gets blamed for everything, I remember when I first became a fan of Plushy I went through all the old stuff and discovered this group who were big Plushy fans, I mean huge, they had a messageboard and everything. Then when Plushy and Yana got together they turned against him en masse. It was bizarre! Suddenly, their hero, their favourite skater ever was a sell-out, famehog, horrible human, you name it. The fan site became a hate site!

Weirdest of all the biggest backlash was Plushy going in Eurovision - like the shows this boggles my mind, of all the things to blast Plushy for. Eurovision was epic and iconic. Where's these peoples sense of humour?

I'm tired of those haters in the Russian ladys's and Sasha's threads....

They take it out of you that's for sure, no matter what you say they won't back down even a little, tiny bit. If you bring up a flaw in their argument they just ignore it! Guess it works though

On the plus side it seems Alina Z may be returning, this will no doubt change the topic in the Russian Ladies thread.

I found these on twitter from Italian fans

Love the gifs! Italians have great taste, I tell you!

Anyway! Hello fellow Plushy fans, I bring some sad news, my little Betta fish, Fishenko died the other evening. He was a very pretty fish and I'll miss him!

Onto happier news though! Anais on Insta has posted some videos of Plushy at the 2011 Russian test skates

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGChkCHKVK - Warming up off-ice before his program. Look at those fabulous jumps! And the little bit of choreo to whoever's skating at that moment's music.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH6UF_nz6O - Plushy + warm ups = football!

Early this year at one of the outdoor shows, Plushy helping out this chap with axel https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAIbGwWoLyF - Looks pretty coachlike to me.

I feel like people underestimate how helpful it must be to have a coach who can actually do the jumps. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling Eteri doesn't do that, I guess Sergei D might.

As Sasha T herself noted in her post today - https://www.instagram.com/p/CALgBOuoAEK - "I decided on the next leg of the journey to begin cooperation with Evgeny Viktorovich Plushenko. For me, he is not only a great athlete, but above all an outstanding personality and a real person who, having accepted all the challenges, stood up and won." You tell them, Sasha T!

Tik-tok challenge stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIhJUngZE9 - Opa! Opa! Opa! :laugh:

Sasha P stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAF7lEAI3Uz - Sasha P has been learning English.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CAIjIubAmwW - Sasha working out with his big bro Kolya. Watch out for left-hooks I say!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKWAb8IGHf - Sasha took these photos! I've just realised I wonder what Fifa will make of Tina. I look forward to the video! :biggrin:

Yana's breakfasts

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHv8QoD-O_ - This one features Plushy! I think it's supposed to be a tropical breakfast in tribute to the Maldives where the Family Plush usually go this time of year.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKSMZDIx8e - Pretty in pink!

Okedoke, better wrap this up, work calls! See you next time!

Anymoose I probably posted it this is a backstage video, a video about the party after the Eurovision. He is incredily cute and looks like he was more happy as in 2006 Torino :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH6UF_nz6O - Plushy + warm ups = football!

all the time! HE adooooooores the football!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO3TPwVaX6Q - 2003 Euros Fluff - Evgeni Plushenko play football . :laugh:

Actually I hadn't seen that before! Wow 4am and everyone is wide-awake and partying! Plushy off-ice jumps are amaaaazing! How do they learn that? I tried to do a jump once, I think I made it one quarter of the way around, how embarrassing :laugh:

yes, and you can see the shying Andrei in the background

Poor Andrei! He's pretty good at keeping out of videos to be honest, I think he has ninja skills.

all the time! HE adooooooores the football!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO3TPwVaX6Q - 2003 Euros Fluff - Evgeni Plushenko play football . he was so tiny and cute... swedish news LRK

That game was hectic, at first I thought it was shirts vs no shirts but it just seemed to be every man for himself. Also I saw a hand ball from Plushy, tsk tsk

In other news I took my aquarium water to be tested and it was fine so I bought a new Betta fish, who I've also named Fishenko because I have no creativity.

Here he is

But I do bring links!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CANqdIbA8RY - Plushy continues to make a case for being on Dancing With the Stars. Werk those Lambada legs!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPbK3dAXXq - Like us, Plushy is minding his own business, gets online and is like "Woah". His advice of taking a lie down seems sound though!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CANmeN-IemX - I honestly have no idea what's going on, Sasha dances like me though so

From the Academy Archives

https://www.instagram.com/p/CANUnajBDsG - Warming up with Coachshenko. Best arms in the business I tell you!

Yana's breakfast

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAM9PMyoQWm - It'sa confusing day for me, because I have noooo idea why she's having a hamburger for breakfast. It looks yummy though!

Hmm I thought I had more to report, I guess not. Although I did remember that Sofia T really admires Sasha T, so it's going to be awesome for her getting to meet her when the Academy reopens.

And now I must go... perhaps I can get the puzzle finished tonight...

Vera uploaded this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFsikOarjhM One of his masterclasses Plushy entertained not only the children but Brian Joubert and Tomeas Verner, too. So much fun! :laugh:
