An interesting interview...but what does 'Mercedes' mean when translated properly, does anyone know?

Some months ago Kovtun said in an interview he is sad because if he is in Russian team in Sochi he would have received a Mercedes. Many Russians don't like that interview.... he was sad because of the Mercedes not the title.

 

[Interspectator]

--But Hanyu is Mercedes? Can you explain? Or he has the quality to get a Mercedes?
Anyway it seems things are going well with his show and I'm really happy for him. I've seen some great pictures of it. It would be great if it could go international. Japan would be really happy if he brought it here. --Or is already planning on doing that?

 

[adelia]

The way I read it was that Hanyu= Mercedes and probably Kovtun = Volvo? I dunno, just my guess.

 

[plushyfan]

Should Urmanov and Kulik feel offended?

They are in very good relationship.

Hmm... the "not PR" thing seems to be a response to TAT. Earlier in the season, she made a comment that she thought Plushy's intention of returning in 2018 was just a "PR stunt" for his ice shows.

That wasn't true. The Russian journalists incorrectly quoted Tat.

Probably Adelia. That was my thought, too. I think the Snow King show will be presented in Japan, China, N-Korea, Europe, and Yana said she is negotiating about the US and Canadian presentation. According to the interview because of the sanctions it is difficult to solve.

t.ezhova : nice when a man during an interview openly and honestly speaks of love to his woman. He - like that. Plushenko. // Three hours of continuous interviews (media stood in intelligent queue)), and then another, and a master class for children. Athletes - special people.

Plushy is still very loved! Yulia in the second!!
I am still laughing at the mercedes joke

Ah I see, they were trying to stoke the old flames of rivalry again. Tsk tsk.

I wonder if the cast will remain the same or change during the tour. I doubt some of the skaters would travel to North Korea for example.

Probably will change sometimes. I don't know who will travel in N-Korea. But many French, Russian, finnish( Lepistö) skaters were in N-K. I'm not happy because they will perform there... (((

That's great! I can't imagine any list like that in the US with all figure skaters as the top 3. Even one would be a shock (except for maybe back in Michelle Kwan's time).

I hadn't even thought about the sanctions preventing an ice show from coming here...well, I hope they can find a way around it. I never think it's fair to punish regular people for the acts of their government.

On the Mercedes thing - I also thought Plushy meant that Yuzuru is like Mercedes, best in class, with the rest inferior. I think I would call Kovtun something like a Mustang rather than a Volvo though...that's just me.

Yana Rudkovskaya posted an event in Miami on NYE. It's a Russian pop music concert, but seems like an elite event with a high ticket price. Her main client Dima Bilan is one of the headliners, along with 2007 Eurovision runner-up Verka Serduchka. But will Plushy be there?

Can someone translate this? Maybe plushyfan?

I LOVE that the Russians take figure skating seriously. Here in the Americas it is a bit of a sideshow while people worship hockey players, wife-beating football players (oh no I didn't) and anyone who is in the gossip rags (formerly Tiger Woods). If it were up to me, Marlie and Voir would be #1 for US and Canada, respectively.

Plushy oh Plushy... Even when he's not competing, he still make people talk about him in various ways. The man is truly a star. No one could deny his star power

I asked Cekoni. She believes Plushy will be in St. Petersburg

I think it's great figure skaters are held in such high esteem in Russia. I remember there are an article before Sochi marvelling about how Russia's favourite athlete isn't a hockey player or a football player--it's a (male) figure skater.

Tessa/Scott/Patrick are certainly visible here in Canada, but I don't think they'd be able to top any polls, sadly.

 

[whitebamboo]

I know there's been a lot of Snow King albums posted already, but I want to put one more here, because it is absolutely gorgeous:

(Also, I want to mention that only now did I realize--from looking at the logos behind him in Sveta's photos of the press conference, that one of the sponsors of the show is actually the Russian Federation Ministry of Education and Science...But of course, it is very scientific and educational for children to see the enchanted Snow King defeated by love! )

ha-ha...Plushy was not once the best athlete in Russia. For example in 2013. Funny because he competed just the at ECH 2013 where he withdrew after the SP. Yesterday the fans of other sports were outraged. Some of them said the FS isn't sport...

But he is famous and a big star. He has almost 408 000 followers on Twitter.

edit: Yesterday Plushy was very active on Instagram:
