Volkov interview. Some parts of it :
......
"- What is your workload in the academy? As far as I understand, your schedule has changed for obvious reasons.
- The guys are all the same. As a coach, yes, it has changed. We start at six in the morning and end at six or seven in the evening. Not easy
- What is the general atmosphere in the academy now? A lot of new people came.
- Normal, working. The same as it was. Everything is fine.
I don't work with Trusova and Kostornaya
- Are you also attracted to work with Trusova and Kostornaya ? Or are you divorced for time?- No, I don't work with them. First, let's say, the younger ones skate, then the younger ones of Evgeny Viktorovich. Then - the elders. It turns out, skated - a couple of hours break. And so on, so the day stretches out.
- Did the arrival of Trusova and Kostornaya affect your charges? Maybe they stay after the workout to look, to promote themselves, so to speak.
- Of course, they sometimes watch training. In the hall, they definitely intersect, and for them it is a great experience, it is interesting for them to look at such stars.
- Artem said that he wants to compete with Trusova. No idea to organize a mini-tournament at the academy?
- I have never thought about it, to be honest ( smiles ).
- But the show will be powerful.
- May be. But to compete with Trusova in jumps? It seems to me unrealistic. ( laughs ) She is such a person that it is useless to compete with her in this. Only if Nathan Chen comes."
"- Therefore, about internal competitions in the academy and speech.
- This should be addressed to Plushenko , for sure there are some such thoughts. But now he is building a skating rink and is very busy with it, plus working with Sasha, with Alena, our guys, the same Kovalev. It is really breaking now, and I understand it." - poor Zhenya
Evgheni has many admirers foreign
.
And all the comments seemed so positive...some even said they finally believed Plushy's serious about being a coach (well duh?)
There's too much of that in normal life, it's very obvious when people are trying to ding you over the head and make you pick a side when you know it's a grey area sometimes.
Clearly despite the notable fact that there's some pretty awful people in the figure skating world, Plushy is clearly the worst because he dared to step on Eteri's toes.
