Plushenko will honour us with his presence in 2010!

[jennylovskt]

Seniorita, thank you soooo much! I have always been looking forward to reading your reports. Are you going to Vancouver? I wish you go, so we could hear your side of the stories that we could never know from anywhere else. Glad that you've had a great time!

 

[seniorita]

After euros I had so much fun and met so many new people that wil go, that I wish i would! does golden skate wish to sponsor me?I ll try to go to worlds cause I love torino!

Plushy said "I need your energy, you come to Vancouver?" and I said "no we cant", and i wanted to die!But he said ok, I ll come to Gr for a show or vacations. I think vacations is more realistic, lol!We said him that we will scream from tv and judging from some homevideos we have in the arena it is very probable that I can be heard across the ocean.

I would prefer getting trapped with the one who shall not be named, life is unfair! :sheesh:

It was a hilarious situation cause my friend is a Jouby admirer and was mubbling Oh my god it is Joubert!!!, and I think he heard it and smiled, and from outside the rest was laughing with one greek shouting at me (ok she is not Jouby fan)...Can you keep him inside for like 3 weeks?(that was in greek, nobody understood I hope)

I dont understand people who wrote reviews that Plush is an arrogrant bastard, I wonder if they have ever talked to him, I saw his press conferences and he sound funny, at least i laughed with him and lambiel also (the thing about the water and the gold little medal was hilarious) and Joubert in sp press was delicious! Looks like some people have decided he is a cocky person and thats it. And I mean the man sat for an hour with all people who came to speak to him and was a fun to talk to. Always after competition but nobody bothers him before anyway, lol! He also says thank you like a hundrend times per minute, cute. I felt sorry for him and Joub at some point with with every crazy female asking them for photo and anything, if i was in their place i would pray the elevator to come closer. In the morning Plushy got into a taxi as we were going out of arena and some people stopped the taxi and got him out for pics. I was wondering if he is the same man as that who entered the arena for the Lp fierce and the italian next to me shout "oh mama mia"

I saw him also in practice how he behaves with others and I enjoyed all of them. This is one clip from their finale and this from plush practice
Did I say that in rehearshal gala the men were trying to do a catch-foot spiral to make fun of the ladies??You should see Joubert trying to stick his foot to his earAnd lambiel doing an arrabesque!

I was in the same type of thoughts that Joubert is arrogant and stuff but I was happy that he changed my mind.

Athough I think with Plush they cant stand eachother off ice. Both. They were fun until after the sp with all the rivarly and stuff and then.. I better not say, lol!I think they respect eachother on ice though.

Another FAB report from seniorita!

Seriously, seniorita, you should consider getting press credentials from GS or some other figure skating organization to attend these events & write about them. I love the way you write, it has a European flourish to it, all the little anecdotes & behind the scenes humour, all told with that European flare!

As for me, God works in mysterious ways, I was not meant to go see Sasha Cohen skate in the Ladies Final at 2010 Nationals, despite all my efforts. So now I await to see if it was meant to be for me to see Zhenya skate at the 2010 Olympic Mens Final on 2/18/10 in the PNE Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. Said location is actually closer for me than the Spokane Arena, which I calculated on www.mapquest.com (Spokane Arena= 4 hrs. 30 minutes from Seattle; PNE Pacific Coliseum=3 hrs. 28 minutes from Seattle). Now I just need to update my passport, and wait to strike for the best seats possible at a reasonable price, and off I go!:agree:


GOOOOOOOO EVGENI!!!!

 

[rainisland]

again have a "Plushyfever"
... whenever I see him live, to me need almost per month, to "wean" at him (I want to see him more, and more.... every day! )

Welcome home, dear:agree:
Can't wait to read your reports from Tallin
Thanks, Seniorita FOR ALL, I am waiting for you in Turin!

 

[seniorita]

a) I told you so (that Joubert doesn't look very muscular and broad in real life)

b) I told you so (that Shabalin is really hot, I still have that PM from you where you described him as nearly ugly...)

Thanks for your reports I happy that you had such a great time.

So, when are you coming to
Aachen?

I know Medusa you are always the wise one, i should have heard you.

Joubert is handsome, and being smaller in reality makes him more. Shabalin in the Matrix costume morning time was kind of scary at first sight. He was stroking around and the italians next to me shouted Go Shabalin and he popped cause he was concentrating or I dunno, look terrified afterHe is very very tall and thin. Smirnov also is cute but doesnt look very sharp.

Maybe we will agree on plush somedayI ve spoken for all men, did I say Plushy is So slender and bright...Cant get over the shock when i saw him in practice in the morning with the Lp costume streching, warming up etc. Like, show some mercy please, it is 10 o clock in the morning and i m only human . Girls with me fell in a coma, at least I came round faster. I spoke to Plushyta after and she was like she just had a double stroke and since the night of Lp I dont think she will be the same ever again.

Plushy said he hangs all his medals on a huge elephant toy and he will add also this and the elephant has still plenty of room. Poor elephant I say.

 

[Medusa]

Maybe we will agree on plush somedayI ve spoken for all men, did I say Plushy is So slender and bright...

Ahemm... Look at this post, where I wrote the following:

Plushenko was good and I enjoy his long program much more than his short program. Most of the movements go with the music. A little less gimmicks would be nice, but it's a decent program overall. He has a rocking body, just like a ballet dancer, a great line with good extension and beautiful beautiful blue eyes. He doesn't need all those gimmicks to be impressive. Good job overall, scores well deserved.

 

[seniorita]

Oh my god, I just read there and couple of pages after Joe says he enjoyed him...I live in an alternate universe? Wow, I m excited.
I agree that he doesnt need any gimmicks on his face. The less the better. One look could kill (alice cooper said that)

I tried to arrange my videos and photos but with no luck, they are a mess, I will post some someday.
Still i havent clear the Moscow ones
I watched the videos from tv also, I so love I was one of the audience there. They were wonderful with Plushy, Stephan, Jouby, Lindenman, Contesti and Javier were the highlights for me.
It just hit me that my sig is outdated. The costume should be changed immediately.

OH.Plushy skates were lost in the connecting flight. They were travelling with mishin to st peters via elsinki, I was travelling with Mishin in the first flight, so i was flying with the holy skates?
Who took plushy skates ? Conspiracy. I hope they have found them by now.

Plush interview

-After the Turin Olympics have ended career, but for the next Olympics, you have decided to return to the ice. Were you surprised in what form?
Probably never counted the comeback so strong. And some did not believe, nor any of my opponents. But you know, I wanted to win again, so I practiced more, I quietly coached seven to eight hours a day.
-Go to the Olympics in the role of a favorite. Who must take the greatest care?
I will not fight against other . I'm going on the ice with the fact that I want to show what I can. I am not scared opponents.
-And how many people can compete on the ice?
About ten other figure skaters.
-What result from Vancouver you happy?
I will accept anything. It is great to be going in the third Olympics. When you finish third, so it will be good because all collection of medals. Second place would be but still better.And if I win, it will be proof that I worked well.
-In the fall you had some health problems, have competed under the injections. It's okay?
Fortunately, everything is fine and nothing worried me. I got a lot of injections into the knee and achillovky, but fortunately it was not surgery. After the Olympics, according to health decide if I go to the World Cup.
-Money?
Forget it, because nobody gave me anything and no one promised me anything. I just had the desire to compete for myr countr. My coach Alexei Mishin said, 'You just want to extend your youth,' and I decided to come back.

I just decided that I needed to rest and heal old wounds. Then I drew strength from it and decided to come back. The experts told me that I was crazy.

In Vancouver, he intends to accept any result. "I have a silver and a gold medal. The most important thing is to skate with dignity and to show everything I have learned during my training," says the skater, who is said to feel a lot better than four years ago. And perhaps he will be in four years at the Olympic Games in Sochi. "Maybe I will still skate by then and accept a tenth place," says.

I trained a triple axel - quadruple toe loop, that nobody has ever done.​

... I can jump two quadruple jumps in a row too

i pretend this last one is bad translation ((((((plushy knee))))))

if i read one more time time sochi question or oponnents question i will flip.:scowl:

Journalists have so short imagination, they all ask the same things for a year now. Give me half hour with Plushy, I would ask him more interesting things that fans will like to know. Like if he surfs youtube or his sites, if he listens to the crowd when he takes the ice, how on earth does he concentrate with all the screaming, does he like the clapping during the program, if he got scared on his first comeback in grand prix, if he watched fs competitions in his absence, who would be in his best imaginary skating show, which athletes he admires, if he would like to coach, what would he take in a desert island, if he has an ipod and his telephone number.:boohoo:

 

[Nadine]

GREAT, Great, great questions, seniorita!

I too would like to know all that, and I totally agree with your analysis about the same ole same ole questions, which is why I wish GS would hire you for their competitions with Evgeni in them.

Hmm, interesting article (& thanks for the translation:thumbsup, methinks Evgeni needs to NOT take any more chances with that knee & ankle. I mean what's with the talk about the 3A/4T & 4T/4T combos! Hopefully that's all it is, is talk, but knowing Evgeni & his fearlessness, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him throw one of those crazy combos. in there. He did so at the 2006 Olympics (aka 3A/.5R/3F!), so most likely he will do so at the 2010 Olympics. This is the very reason why he is one of my favorite skaters of all-time ~ his gutsiness/fearlessness/riskiness/no holds barred skating style!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOOOOO EVGENI!!!!

 

[rainisland]

fter the Olympics, according to health decide if I go to the World Cup.

I really hope so.........I already know that so many Evgeni's fans will come to Turin, from all over the world...
So, my ladies, let's make a real list of the questions fro him, so I will ask everything you want...I was thinking about this in the past, too, but I don't want to do it alone - I need your opinions, your help.

 

[seniorita]

Ok I know he said it and he hopes he goes cause he is sentimental about competing in Torino, but I think Plushy will not go to Worlds even if he hopes he does, and while we are at it, Lambiel neither. They both have a Plushenko-Lambiel tour in Switcherland , 16 shows I think in the early March.
Evgeni didnt even go to Worlds 2006 just to increase his collection. I think the emotional and physical wore will be a factor. If he wins Olympics he wont care for Worlds, if he doesnt he wont care for Worlds either. I would like to see him there, but if he wants to eat pizza and relax after Olympics it will be fine for me. And again (((Plushyknee)))

if it is any condolence I will go

For now, this is for Schiele, B and Medusa

Yea, I don't see why he would go. He skipped both worls at 2002 and 2006 so I doubt he will chose to attend this one (unless he has a horrible skate at olympics and wants some redemption at worlds but how likely is that? )

if it is any condolence I will go

Maybe so will I..

For now, this is for Schiele, B and Medusa

Ay ay ay, I go all the way to TEB and I don't get a single glimpse of Jouby off the ice.. Off Seniorita goes to Estonia and becomes a Joubert magnet! :banging::sheesh::sheesh::boohoo::boohoo:

 

[seniorita]

Seniorita goes to Estonia and becomes a Joubert magnet! :banging::sheesh::sheesh::boohoo::boohoo:

If you ask me I would prefer to have been a Plushy magnet, which was almost impossible as he was nowhere to be found.Not that we searched anyway, before sunday there was no reason.
Rumors are there was 5 km secret tunnel between arena and hotel, cause plush never got from the main entrance before gala. And neither stephan.:boohoo:

 

[Sheena]

Thanks Senorita for all your fun & interesting reports from Europeans!

 

[seniorita]

Plushyta are you ever gonna comeback on earth?
They send me this pic via email and I wanted to post it somewhere, please clone this coverboy any uber moment until Olympics will be excused I hope. I m still in Estonia zone I dont remember smaller medal in europeans ever
Shocking, the size of medal is the size of 2 euros coin, give me back the donuts of torino.:boohoo:

 

[Nadine]

Thanks for the pic & the laughs, seniorita, I needed that after reading about Johnny Weir's latest faux pas.

Seriously, that medal is the tiniest one I've ever seen! Hopefully the Olympic Medals are as big as basketballs, lol.

Still trying to attain tickets for the Mens FS on 2/18/10, and will keep trying until the bitter end. However, there are a lot of scams out there, just today a lady contacted me saying she had two tix for $1100, but then said she was staying at a friend's house, we could conclude the contract via UPS, etc. I didn't trust her at all because a.) that price is way too cheap, and b.) it didn't sound legit which set off all sorts of warning bells in my head.:think:

I've been viewing old performances of Zhenya on www.youtube.com, and have to say what a pleasure it has been!; he's given me so many wonderful moments & memories over more than a decade, and it doesn't stop.

GOOOOOOO EVGENI!!!!

 

[rainisland]

I would like to see him there, but if he wants to eat pizza and relax after Olympics it will be fine for me.

:think:

Then, there is not a better place to eat pizza - Italy was (is) in his destiny.....
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I see there is a little hope to see him in Turin, but I still hope.........

 

[Nadine]

One of my all-time favorite programs of Evgeni is Once Upon A Time in America, seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywkMDHkeOZs

Eighteen years old, and he blows the field away with the first ever 4T/3T/2R! Loved Peter Carruthers & Terry Gannon's comments. And he had the crowd clapping along with him on his journey through America, and standing before the end of the program.

Total confidence, total command of the performance, nary a hair out of place. One-of-a-kind. Evgeni The Great. No more need be said, except to say that he is even better at 27 years of age. Only he gets better as he ages, just like a fine wine, only gets better with time...

arty:arty:GOOOOOOO EVGENI!!!!arty:arty:

 

[seniorita]

i think pizza is the main reason i want to come to worlds also, so maybe plushy will come for pizza after Olys.

speaking of wine, we gave evgeni red wine for gift, because he has said to peletier he missed that, he said "but i dont drink now, I ll give it to my wife", we told him to keep it for when he can!
meanwhile I m fixing my gazillion photos I ve gathered from all of us and have a great laugh cause they are awful quality but i remember all of them!
This is Joub, I had to crop the surroundings but he laughs cause I said him "will you take a pic between two girls?", either for that or for my french.
More or less Plush laughs for the same reason.
i will post album as soon as they become in order somehow!

where did all your southparks go??I have to remove mine as well?please inform for sig updates:boohoo:

 

[Nadine]

Lol, it looks like we are posting at the same time, seniorita!

Thanks for the new pics, and for the new info., love all the little tidbits. Keep them coming.:thumbsup:

I'm sooooooooooo glad to hear that Evgeni doesn't drink. I never knew that he did, but good to know that he has stopped. As one whom descends from a race of people that, unfortunately, is known to drink. I do not. And this is one of the very reasons why I have never touched a glass of alcohol in my life, as God is my witness (a taste of schnapps once when sledding down a hill at K.U., and once a bit of a wine cooler to see how it tasted, that's it).

I personally am against all vices such as smoking, drinking, drugging, et al. I do none of them, never have, and not because I'm a prude, but because I care about my body & my mind. God gave me free will, and with my free will I choose to take care of my body that He gave me, as well as to set a good example for the little ones. As it should be. This is my choice.

Russians are known to drink as well, thus I admire Evgeni's decision not to drink even moreso, to go against the norm, to set a good example. But does he smoke? I hope not, I really hope not.

GOOOOOO ZHENYA (GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR HIS PEOPLE)!!!!
