Evgeni Plushenko

[plushyfan]

Russian figure skater Evgeni Viktorovich Plushenko (Russian: Евге́ний Ви́кторович Плю́щенко​) was born on 3 Nov 1982 in Dzhamku, Solnechny District, Khabarovsk Krai, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union (now Russia).

Plushenko is Just 30!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWZtD7IUNr4 more than 1.033.000 viewers amazing video

This thread was opened in honor of Evgeni Plushenko, who will be 30 in 03 November. No one can deny his results, and many people believe that he is the best skater after II. World War. President of ISU Mr Cinquanta told to Gorshkov (http://www.rg.ru/2010/11/23/plushenko.html) :
Президент ИСУ Оттавио Чинкванта говорил мне, что считает Плющенко, возможно, лучшим одиночником всех послевоенных времен.
google translater:
ISU President Ottavio Cinquanta told me that he thinks Plushenko probably the best single skater of the postwar era.

He deserves this thread. He has the most titles and the longest career, the people familiar with the name and love him. He proved he is really a legend. He was a teenager when he started to win competitions, and year after year we are amazed by his consistency. He gave so much to figure skating. He is an incredible athlete.
Six days time and he will celebrate his birthday, I would like to do a presentation of his career from the beginning to the present. I'm trying to make it interesting, because he's basically an interesting and exciting personality.

Main results( Wikipedia):

He is the 2006 Winter Olympics gold medalist, 2002 Winter Olympics silver medalist, and 2010 Winter Olympics silver medalist, three-time (2001, 2003, 2004) World champion, seven-time (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012) European champion, a four-time Grand Prix Final champion and a nine-time (1999–2002, 2004–2006, 2010, 2012) Russian national champion.

Plushenko's technical achievements are numerous. He is one of the few male skaters to perform the Biellmann spin. He was the first skater in the world to perform a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop-double loop jump (4–3–2) combination in competition, at the 1999 NHK Trophy (he has since landed his 4–3–2 combination 26 times so far). He is the first skater to have landed a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop-triple loop (4–3–3) combination in competition, at the at the GPF Final 2002 (he has since landed his 4–3–3 combination four times so far). Plushenko is also the first skater to land a triple toe loop-triple toe loop-triple loop-double loop (3–3–3–2) combination, which was at the 2005 "ARD Gala". At the European Championships, he landed a six jump combination (3–3–2–2–2–2) in his exhibition program. He has landed a four jump combination; 4 toe loop-3 toe loop-2 loop-2 loop, at the World Championships in 2001. Plushenko has landed a consistent quadruple toe loop in competition, and has also landed a quadruple salchow in Samara, Russia at the 2004 "Second stage of Cup of Russia". It is estimated that he has landed a total of about 100 quads in competition.

At the age of 16, Plushenko was the youngest male skater to ever receive a perfect score of 6.0. He received a total of seventy five 6.0s before the new Code of Points judging system was introduced, most of them were presentation marks!
Plushenko is the only male figure skater in the modern history of the sport to have won three Olympic medals in singles (Gillis Grafström won four in the early years of the sport, from 1920–1932).[62]

Biography:

If anyone would like to read his biography, can download it: http://www.mediafire.com/?z9ziocao3m3a1
(We could know why he not became an actor in USA…)
Very sincere book. This is not an official translation, one of his fans translated it into english , for free, she was working on it for six month, and then said that Plushy is a chosen man. But someone don't want to read, I briefly summarize…

Early years:

Plushenko was born in Solnechny, Khabarovsk Krai,Siberia, Soviet Union. (Solnechny means Sonny, and his hair are the reasons why the Japanese fans call him Sonny boy) His parents were poor but honest workers. They worked on Baikal-Amur Mainline, but Plushy was constantly sick, and they have moved to Volgograd. Since he frequently suffered from colds, his mother decided he needed exercise and enrolled him in figure skating lessons at age four.

1992: short videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZegtnW4RVYQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40M3l2jZ35w he was cute and very talented

When he was eleven years old, Plushenko's ice rink in Volgograd was forced to close. He was then sent to Saint Petersburg without parents.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_fgqwyMuYk he adores his mother.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixm3FTDIR_U the apartment where he lived alone in St. Petersburg…by CTV

Plushenko made quick progress on the international scene under Mishin's tutelage.

Mishin, one of the great wisecracking storytellers in skating, loves to describe 11-year-old Plushenko's arrival at the famed Yubileyny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg: "He looked like a cheap chicken, very green and very blue and no fat .... very ecological!"

-His first debut on WJCH, 1995/96 season, 6th place
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRZoZWEzCYQ sooo cute
-As a 14-year-old, he won the 1997 World Junior Championships, this victory made him the youngest World Junior Champion ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwutW1wxCL0&feature=related

1998.
At 15, he finished second at the senior European Championships and he finished third at the senior 1998 World Championships. This victory made him the youngest World medalist ever.

Happy Birthday to Zhneya, Truly one of a kind skater
can't wait for his birthday party show tommorow

 

[let`s talk]

Mini Plush doesn't have a big nose ? How is it possible... . Actually, the room in the state communal apartment that they could afford to rent years ago is currently no longer considered livable by the local government. Because it is too small to fit for habitation standards, according to the current St-Petersburg local law, i.e. it's smth. like lesser than 10 square meters ot somesuch. Nowdays it's juridically non-residential premises that can be used as a closet or maintenance room by the residents of that communal apartment. That is where his career started. The dude is absolutely self-made.

Here is probably the longest documentary about Plu, over 2.5 hours, made in 2006:

PS: the links for for the 11 and 12 parts of the documentary do not work (though I am not sure they exist...);D

Video 11 works fine on my computer. In the link for Video 12 was indeed a misprint in my original post (I missed last two letters: ohwell, I edited. Thanks for pointing that out.

I saw him live a lot since I was lucky to be from the same city! COR in 1999 was also held in his home town but it was in the old skate arena SKK (the New Arena wasn't available yet, under construction), located a little far from the subway (imagine to work on foot from the station in Russian winter! ) and less convenient. But who cares, we knew why we came . After the competition he said in the interview that he was very shocked by the fact that a second the music started, the audience started applauding. Why wouldn't they if it was a gypsy dance! It simply happens automatically with Russians! He felt surprised but we found out about that only later in the interview, because neither his skating nor any move of his face or body didn't reveal his true feeling. He won.

[lilywang]

Happy Birthday, Plushy!

Time really flies. I still remember 1998 World, witnessing how a star was born. Even though at that time I was sure that he will be a great Champion one day, I never had dreamed what he actually achieved later. To many around the world, he is synonymous to the sport of figure skating. I wonder how long we will have to wait to see another three-time Olympic medalist in figure skating.

Let's talk, you saw THAT Nijinsky performance live? Oh, you lucky lucky people in Saint Petersburg! His best competitive performances are always in his home town, Saint Petersburg 300 at GPF 2003, and Nijinsky at Russian National.

I always feel a bit strange that his best gala performances (in my opinion) are all in Vancouver, the debut of Sex Bomb and Je Suis Malade.

 

[plushyfan]

Let's talk I'm envious of you!!!You could see live that beauty!!! Perfect music, perfect performance, perfect young man...Nijinsky!!!

[lowtherlore]

Happy Birthday, Plushy!

After more than a decade of excellence, the dominant OGM and two silvers, three WC and four GPF titles, he's still a contender. Magnificent! :thumbsup:

 

[let`s talk]

Oh, you lucky lucky people in Saint Petersburg! His best competitive performances are always in his home town, Saint Petersburg 300 at GPF 2003, and Nijinsky at Russian National.

Oh, that freakingly cold winter of St-Petersburg 300 . The season is usually mild, above -10C. But sometimes the temperature dropped overnight down to -30C or lower and it can stay like that for weeks ! That was one of those years, with champagne frozen in bottles at New Year coundown outside, red wine survived longer, nothing can ever happens to vodka, I was just not grown-up enough yet... Big thanks to RFSF that they put GPF in St-Petersburg as one of events of its 300 anniversary. Unfortunately I was in a mountain ski camp overseas and that was the only reason possible why I didn't see it live- I was simply not in town. But in his hometown his unlucky performances also took place. Like in Cup of Russia 2001 where he fell twice, a so rare thing to him that I observed live too ... what?... a fall ! Still won due to no competition. To say the truth the first fall was on the historical attemp to land 4L first time in fs history, the second was on 4T, he was terribly disappointed in K&C: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6fZdfnsVs Later in gala he unpacked one of the hugest bouquet of red roses that someone gave him and threw the flowers to the audience. I assumed it was his way to apologize to the people for his not perfect performance. Personaly, it took me more than ten years to see his butt on the ice again- in Japan Open 2012 just recently. Years with no falls. Some current fake champ should feel envious.

2003/ 2004
ECH silver medalist
LP: he fell! not one time
.....
WCH gold medalist
.....
The crowd went crazy for him!!

Ironically, Nijinskij year was his both- the greatest success and the worst nightmare in his career. Here is the documentary about that season, the dude behind the screen rants in German, but don't worry to much if you are not fluent, it's quite understandable what is going on. He fell more than once in EC and lost to Joubert. In the interview he took all reponsibility on himself and said that he relaxed too much and underestimated the rivals. Then in WC in Dortmund he won, went crazy too and screamed in K&C. Later in the interview to R-media he said that he feel madly happy that he could finish this season unbeaten www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2841lVtRMQ

 

[plushyfan]

Thank you, I know this documentary, but I forgot, that we can see the falls in it. I like Smekalov, beautiful dancer and great choreographer..and Artur is a cute little boy
