It seems that Plushy is the only influential & ideal spokesman not only for his own academy, but also for other clubs as far as the Russian judging system is concerned. He is going to talk with the Minister of Sports and the Presidential representatives in charge of sports about that. I fully support his serious fight for justice for all other skaters!
Honestly it is really tiring to read all the things about these judging issues on a daily basis. I have already lost a lot of interest in this sport.
Aww cheer up Sweet Dream! I do believe that Plushy really does believe the judging system has issues and they need to be fixed and it's not just him trying to push his skaters (although that's obviously part of it). I remember his first complaint was about Liza's SP score in comparison to Kamila V and Daria U. He does know Liza obviously, but he's prepared to go in for other skaters too.
In other news, Zheleznyakov (the choreographer guy) has backed down and apologised to Plushy. According to him, he heard some untrue info about Plushy which set him off. Hopefully, he'll behave himself in the future.
Enough about that though, I'm still working on linking up Plushy's programs in the Media section and I have found a Holy Grail...
This is Plushy's FS in Vancouver...but! It is the British Eurosport Commentary version! And what a difference a commentary team can make! Instead of Scott and Sandra spending 4.5 minutes dragging the defending Olympic champion who's only had like 6 months preparation, you have the British Eurosport Uncles mostly being quiet and letting us watch the program.
And one of them - Chris, I think? - certainly believed Plushy had it. The crowd enjoyed it too! Once again, you have to wonder what NBC was watching...all that talk about jump, jump, jump then nothing? It's amazing how your mind misremembers after hearing something enough times...Plushy did jumps after one of his step sequences! And his spins were actually pretty good! And it goes without saying he sold the Heck out of it. Phoned it in, my butt.
I'm not saying he deserved gold (although I think he sorta did), but this memory so many have, of an arrogant man who just came in, did the bare minimum and then demanded a gold? Nope, not true at all.
I think that's why I get defensive about Plushy, I feel like new fans will get the wrong idea and not appreciate all he did and how good he was. Which makes me sad...I smiled the whole way through that
Tango Amore FS, it was so enjoyable to watch!
Do watch it and share your thoughts
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I might be back later with present day links, but for now I'm going to watch the Moscow Cup.
Until next time, fellow Plushy fans, stay positive!
Is some good coach/skater running away from this school or is this man an idiot? Such threat would be handled very seriously by the police in any other country in the world. How horrible these Russians... 
I am really worried about Plushy's safety in Russia now. 
They are both based in Moscow after all.
I hope she's going well.
Here she is working on her choreo
