I think this should be the place for me to spend more time on. I feel frustrated and upset reading some of the posts and bashing toward Plushy.
Indeed! It can get nasty out there. A few weeks back I got on a Plushy- defending spree, but alas all I did was make myself look silly. I don't think I changed anyone's minds, at least not those who think the absolute worse of Plushy. Ah well, what can you do?
I agree he shouldn't have said judges were "bribed" at least not in public, but I think he's right to point out dodgy stuff. It's one thing if a judge scores everyone in a competition low (some do!), but when only some are judged more harshly that's unfair.
Hopefully, it'll work out OK! Perhaps if other coaches also joined up...but they probably don't want to rock the boat or get accused of poor sportsmanship.
I've seen some of the clips on Instagram. The show is absolutely beautiful and spectacular. I hope one day I can watch his performance in person. Has anyone had the chance to watch Plushy's competition or shows live? Of course right now is not a good time. Does he only perform in Russian in the recent years?
It is! Sometimes I wonder if Plushy should have dedicated himself to putting on epic shows rather than coaching, although he really seems to love coaching.

Fingers crossed that the Academy succeeds!
As for where Plushy does shows, Russia and Japan are the main places he goes (he's still the Emperor in Japan

), he also used to go shows in Europe, like
Art on Ice in Italy as well as his own
Kings on Ice in places like Hungary (home of Plushyfan!), Romania etc.
With the coaching he does now, he's cut back on the ice shows sadly

Corona virus also stopped the summer shows in Japan.
I hope to see him skate in person too! Though I do fear I may be one of those crazy fangirls who screams and faints, that's be so embarassing!
Thank you
@anonymoose_au and other posters to keep this thread up to date!
No problem! I like to keep a record and since Plushyfan is busy at the moment, I'm doing it.

Until next time, fellow Plushy fans, stay calm, stay healthy!
