I must say, the more I see her, the more I like her. I hope she will be back at the start of the season.

It looks like Nastya has moved to Plushenko's group! :reye:

That's definitely better info than those health speculations
(On the other hand, I still didn't see any great results from Pluschenko's group)

I'd like to try to think positively about this, but yeah... Lately, every notable skater has left Plushenko's group and they've not exactly had great results while there. There's the hope that she'll be the first one, I guess.

Still, I just don't know. It's not the destination I'd have expected a top talent to head towards. I'd have thought that Davydov might have been a more logical choice if she desired a change.

Has she always been so tall? It looks to me like she's grown quite a bit.

 

[flanker]

She has probably grown a little, but even during last season she was the tallest of the A-team.

Nevertheles, i wish her luck and I hope they will be able to preserve her wild, dynamic style.

It appears she is now a Plushenko Angel

Nastya appears in a new post from angelsofplushenko:

She seems happy and confident, and that is the most important. I am a little reluctant about this move...I will wait for the next season to see her development and then I'll pronounce myself. I hope she had some good reasons for this move and really thought it through. Her potential is huge, and her skating is unique, impressive for a junior tbh, which deserves good quality programs in order to highlight her skills.

Is she trying 2a-3t-3lo :shocked:

I’m just happy that she is training and I don’t care who coaches her or choreographs for her because she has a fire that isn’t something that is coached. It only comes from within. It will be nice for her to be looked up to at the Plushenko camp while she’s recovering.

I’m just happy to see her on the ice.

 

[esteticlove]

Pluschenko is at the beginning of his coaching career and there a lot of things that will have to be changed/improved over time in terms of his work but honestly, I think it was a pretty good choice. She had absolutely no chance to improve under Buyanova or Mishin... Whereas Evgeni has at least shown that he takes care of his skaters, as young as they are. And he definitely led Sima to an improvement, so there's a hope

 

[maggieanne]

I’m in support of this coaching change. I think she would likely get a bit neglected if she continued to train in the same rink as Shcherbakova, Trusova, and Kostornaya.

Next week the Plushenko summer camp will start in Kranevo, Bulgaria (18-30 July). I hope we will have chance to follow their works a little bit.

"Taraknova practices in my Academy several days" - told Plushenko.

My only concern is how crowded it is....she’s s speedster and probably is more comfortable without all those groms to be dodging.

I believe Evgeni can hadle the problem he could learn from Mishin. There were many skaters in Mishin camps especially Evgeni's peaktime.

It came to my mind earlier, if this is not just some temporary placement till her health coms better.

Perhaps...but then it seems odd that Plushenko is the one arranging her programs for this season. That would indicate to me that she intends to stick out the season with Plushenko.
