Mishin interview yesterday
http://tass.ru/sport/3748707
the most interesting parts of it
Mishin: our cooperation with Plushenko will last a lifetime
Coach two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko Alexei Mishin is counting on the fact that their cooperation will last a lifetime. This expert told Tass.
Mishin is the coach of the skater for more than 20 years.
"I think that our cooperation, I would even call it a commonwealth will continue all my life", - he added.
"This summer, after the second surgery, he was fresh, cheerful, he did not even have trace of a phenomenon called "coordination of old age." Zhenya jumped well, and with his triple axel, a quadruple toe loop, charisma, experience and artistic values, he will look very nice in our skating, "- said Mishin.
...
The specialist added that young skaters are not in a hurry to occupy the leading position in the absence of Plushenko.
"To modern figure skating, young (former) Plushenko would be very helpful. To him is certainly difficult to do quadruple jumps, compared with young leaders of world of skating, but compared with our (russian) new skaters - Plushenko would look not very bad. I would like to immediately recall the conversations before the Olympics in Sochi, how he closes the road to the youth, but now the road is open - but young people do not want to run on this road." :yes:

He is a living legend, he will have a tour in Slovaia in late November, early December .
-He feels healthy himself million percent.
-He is glad to skate there again, in 2001 when he won ECH didn't watch the city, but he would like to see now...
-He is in good relationships with everybody off ice ( Javi, Yuzuru,Brian, Tomas, etc) but he wanted to "kill" them on ice. He wanted to win all the time.
- He is fan of Javier and Yuzuru, they both are the number one. He knows them since their childhood. Yuzuru is a genius. Plushy wanted to see them all the time and want to learn from them.
- he didn't jump quads but he is happy because he can jump hard jumps like the 3A. He landed in it in Brazilia . That was the first after the surgery in March.
- Plushy is happy he went through all the necessary surgeries, so he continued to skate, even up to another twenty years!
-He wants to compete, but he doesn't know he will do, or not..
-He thanked to Yuzuru, Javier, Boyang, because they are involving hard elements in the FS
-Plushy thinks he was the real winner in 2010.
-The Russian gilrs are very strong, but he can't tell this about the men.
- He and Mishin are in a very close relationship, they talk by phone very offen. He is Plushy's second father.
-Edvin Marton: they are very good friends, he make the program music together. He talked about the Torino gala when the world learned them together.
and a long interview with Plushy
http://www.sportfakt.ru/news/evgeni...-u-kolyady-bolshe-perspektiv-chem-u-kovtuna-/
a part of the interview, about fs ( google translate)
- Viewed performance Evgenia Medvedeva, who recently won the Grand Prix in Canada?
- Oh sure. "Machine" - I would have called it so. Clever. It works well, it speaks for the second year. She has a great chance to win the entire current season. And, of course, the Olympic Games.
- Do not "break" the 16-year-old athlete in the growth process of growing up, as it often happens?
- Everything depends on it, from the coaching staff. The correct diet, which is very important for girls. And then - you need to watch.
- In recent years, is not very good are Russian skaters Singles. What is, in your opinion, is connected?
- The season has just begun. The case was not the whole squad. If you're talking about the one competitor, Maxim Kovtun, who unsuccessfully serves more than one year, it does not mean that the whole team is bad. Who will act Misha Kolyada, other athletes. We have a good team. Another issue that compete with Yuzuru Hanyu or Patrick Chan guys, of course, difficult. In the championship of the world can compete for the "five".
- With regard to the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, who has the best prospects - at Kovtun or Kolyada? (translatd as Christmas Carol

)?
- Of course, Kolyada. Maxim problems with psychology. He knows, but to come out and speak at the right time - no. A good skater skates evenly every year, each event passes cleanly. Yes, you can "rip" one element. But not the entire program. It's impossible. If there is so, it means that the athlete is not high. And some outbreaks are not talking about his high level.
