Evgeni Plushenko

Yeah, exactly - what the heck, Plushy? Go back to doing something safe & harmless - like quads! Honestly, I said it before and I'll say it again, when he is doing FS I feel more reassured - at least I know what he is up to! Just look what happens when he has energy to burn! (shakes head in disapproval)

So true! I was just thinking to myself shouldn't he be practicing choreography for the Nutcracker? From what Sandhu has posted on Instagram there seems to be a lot of rehearsing going on, but then I remembered Plushy's very quick at picking up choreography, I guess he got bored waiting

And then I remembered that amusing scene from Mighty Ducks II where one of the hockey players used to be figure skater and does some sort of jump to confuse the opposing team before shooting a goal. I suppose Plushy would never be tempted to do that though

Oh, no, never.

There was also a funny ad - I have no recollection what it was for - a few years back; in it a figure skater, dressed all in shiny purple, all made up, arrives on the ice hockey rink, and skates circles round the hockey players.

It seems they are very busy with the Nutcracker:

Intimissimi on ice show:

Charlotte Puttock ‏@Char_Puttock Oct 26

A great article about a great Company - Intimissimi sparkles with ice-skating spectacular in Verona:
https://www.you.co.uk/intimissimi-sp...acular-verona/ - "The show took in the seasons from the warmth of summer to the frosty chill of winter with incredible scenery and costumes for each. Occasionally, the audience would go wild and leap to their feet – as they did when the Russian skating superstar Plushenko (above) raced onto the ice, blond hair flying, for an eye-wateringly fast and difficult solo to a Michael Jackson number."

In other news Fayruza very kindly offered to translate all sorts of foreign commentary over on this thread. Well I couldn't resist asking for a translation of the commentary for Plushy's amazing Russian Nats Nijinsky (my favourite) and they've all ready done it!

Attention, attention please, we urgently need some more kids to get the toys off the ice of the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg! We need a lot of kids! That's the tribute of respect to Evgeni Plushenko! And I dare say, of public love to him. The kids are rushed off their feet, they're crying and falling onto the ice, but they're still collecting the toys (an allusion to a well-known Russian joke here) while they can't see the score. I can't remember ever seeing anything like this. They could skip showing the routine slo-mo - it was just perfect. Evgeni Plushenko gave his 100 percent today, as always in St. Petersburg, he didn't let us down. Now girls will go crazy. Well, what else - he immersed himself in this work of art, one of the best in his career set to the music of violinist Edvin Marton, and he's used the best of his plasticity, ideas, finesse, calmness like never before, and everything has become clear

Ha ha ha! I'm so amused! I was wondering to myself what could possibly be said about such a performance except for "OMG, OMG, OMG!" and it seems I was pretty much right.

Hello,

I would like to ask if you know any website apart from youtube where I could watch or download old Plushy's performances. I mean his skating at Europeans, Worlds, Grand Prix, nationals etc. There's a lot on YouTube, but often only in terrible quality.

Especially, I desperately want to see his short program from 2010 Europeans in HD

Thanks

some comments under the another version of the Nijinsky program:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEJXkfMYTX4

God is exist Plushenko is the proof

he dances the way he looks, beautiful and breath taking. I'd pay a million dollars to watch him dance.

out of this world... breathtaking... goosebumps...

LOOOOOVE HIM THE BEST IN THE SKATING UNIVERSE!!!

Every drop of my blood is burning.

He's the best I've ever seen. And I love how each and every move he makes has an actual purpose... I don't think anyone will ever be as good as Evgeni.

He is too good to be a real human being

This program is almost holly. It makes me cry.

This is angel on ice. Perfect its not enough. Its above. The legend this is what he is, the man who can skating on the cloud. Pure emotions. After this the sky can fall down.

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:


this is a hungarian article by Titanilla Bőd: http://ujszo.com/online/sport/2016/...enyij-pljuscsenkoval-szlovakiai-turneja-elott

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.

Oh yeah! I forgot to post this! Javier released his biography a few days ago and Plushy wrote an intro for it which xibsuarz was nice enough to translate over in Javi's Fan-fest thread

After hearing Javi's opinions on Plushy, let's see what Plushy thinks of Javi!

xibsuarz said:

A bit of what Plushenko had to say about Javi.

He met him in Jaca, Spain, when he was 7 or 8 y/o, and he was a very bad skater back then
He said Javier is a wonderful guy, a great friend and has an extraordinary personality. Despite his success, he is still the same person. He says his coach has helped him reach his dreams, and Javier tries to improve everyday. They are a true team.

He is sure Javier has switched the sports mentality in Spain, where soccer dominates; and he has placed Spanish skating in the map.

He is getting physically and mentally stronger. He said his concentration is one of his fortes, and he gets goosebumps when he sees him jump. He sees how happy Javier is and he tells him to pace himself and do things calmly. Everything will come with effort and confidence.

He is a great athlete and person, with his feet on the ground. His success has never gotten to his head and Plushy says Javier loves skating as much as he does. His advice for him is to keep skating forever, whether it’s in competition or for pleasure.

D'awww, isn't that nice? We don't get "NEWS! Plushy says something" threads these days, but this would have been a good one I think!
