Друзья! Скоро в Москве я открою свою школу фигурного катания для детей всех возрастов и проф. спортсменов. Ваше мнение и возраст желающих?
"Friends! Soon in Moscow, I open my own school of figure skating for children of all ages and prof. athletes. Your opinion and age wanting?"

Wow!! Finally then!!

 

[Sandpiper]

No, it works very well - of course I did see the video first, though I didn't understand, so I had an image of him speaking - but... it's such a great parody, because it's so very much in his style, you could almost imagine it was true!

"I'm only 72 years old." Could there be anything more Plushy-like?

In Moscow?

 

[silverfoxes]

Yeah, I wondered why not St. Petersburg, given the lack of facilities there...but Mishin and Moskvina are opening their own school there in a couple of weeks, maybe they don't want to compete. And perhaps it's easier to get funding if he has it in Moscow. I can't say I fully understand the situation, though. It might be just the first step since he has said before he wants to open several schools.

Yeah, that would make sense. Just first reaction went, "Even Plushy is giving up on figure skating in St. Petersburg?!" Maybe he'll help out Mishin in St. Petersburg.

In Moscow?

He mostly live in Moscow. Yana also works there. And that is not sure he will be a coach immediately. I believe he will give his name..


we will have a great months! Two days until the Snow King! I can't wait and I'm so excited! :dance: I hope everything will be OK! I hope the acrobats won't get injury, it doesn't deteriorate any technical equipment, Brian won't fall with Katarina etc. :hopelessness:

after http://www.goldenskate.it/

In January: MWO!!!!

This is what he said about the question of opening his school in Moscow vs. Saint Petersburg in a recent interview (I'm not sure if the link has been posted in this thread earlier):
http://vppress.ru/stories/Evgenii-Plyuschenko-Mechtayu-porabotat-s-piterskimi-detmi-27152

...
- Will there be in St. Petersburg School of figure skating Evgeni Plushenko?
- Right now we are working in Moscow, the idea of my school of figure skating. It would be desirable, of course, such a school in St. Petersburg to create - in the city where I started, where forged my victory. I think that this government officials, our guide will come. Just do not would like to see the school came about when I turn 60 years old: "Eugene, work!", And I have nothing need be. Another thing now, when you're young, you have, as they say, everything is lit, you want to work. Opportunities in our country great, and above all to work with children. And I'm ready! Raise athletes prepare to work.
....

So he would like to open a school in Saint Petersburg as well, but it's not a simple thing to do so, and to get it to become reality. I remember that in the past few years, he's mentioned several times the issues of trying to find investors, suitable place, etc. (I remember that he was even possibly considering a place in Italy at one point, maybe.) In this interview, he also mentions that in recent years, Saint Petersburg skating has lost out a lot to Moscow, and that was something which saddens him a lot.

BTW, this interview is mostly about his feeling about and for Saint Petersburg, and it's really worth reading, even with Google translate...There are some quite beautiful and tender things in it.

^Thank you for the link, Whitebamboo. Reading between the lines (and Google's translation), I think he's saying for the moment the funding/support isn't there yet? I hope his school in Moscow will be successful, so that he can open one in St. Petersburg. And Plushyfan makes a good point--he might not personally teach yet.

This is the most sensible idea from Plushy ever! He will be a great coach and it certainly suits him better than any promises to go to any Olympics again.......

You underestimate Plushy - this does not preclude the other.

Note: I'm not saying that he will definitely go to the next Olympics - merely that opening a skating school is not in itself enough to stop him.

Agree. We all know Plushy's competitiveness.
