Evgeni Plushenko

I will give him credit. He was the only coach that actually remembered this was a tv show as well and actually engaged the interviewers.

Eteri looked like she was going to smack anyone asking her any more questions and Mishin was also just going through the motions.
Fair enough. But I think that Eteri’s responses indicated that she was done with questions and no one got the hint.
 
This is awesome! Basically Mishin with his "kids" and "grandkids". 🥰 He has such a special, wonderful relationship with Plushy! I was wondering if there are any plans for a show in honour of the Professor's 80th birthday, hopefully they can set something up despite the Corona situation.

I like this coach-student relationship so much. I am convinced that there was not and will not be such a relationship as between Mishin and Plushy

Hello fellow Plushy fans!

Hope you're all well. I'm still struggling with keeping my cool...it's my own fault I guess for poking my head into the Russian Ladies Thread. In hindsight it was obvious Plushy was going to be criticized in some off-handed way...I should let it go. But when he was criticized for being too over the top and at the exact same time not supportive enough of Sasha it really set me off. Then I look like the bad guy 😞

In other news Mishin's 80th Birthday show is a go! But... Yagudin and Alina Z are also on the guest list. Ugh, I can almost accept Yagudin's invite, he did train with Mishin all those years, but didn't he pretty much downplay any contribution the Professor made as soon as he left? As I recall he didn't even bother thanking the Professor after his Olympic Gold. Whatever.

Alina's invite stresses me out more, so many people hate Plushy for trying to "poach" her. I hate the idea of them been anywhere near each other, it's like an invitation for the haters to rip into him. He brought it on himself I guess, but it still sucks. :( Why is she invited anyway? Because she's the reigning Olympic champ? As far as I know Mishin has had nothing to do with Alina at all. Sigh 😓 I guess this might mean the event will be televised.

Anyway Plushy posted about the TV1 Cup (which is set to become an annual event)


The Academy also had a visitor, Olga Buzova, except I have no idea who this person is 😂 Guess she's kind of a big deal in Russia:


Also of interest...Rina R posted a link in her stories to a session with Coachshenko way back in 2019: https://www.instagram.com/p/BtqzfD8nWdU - If Google Translate can be trusted 😉 apparently Coachshenko came up with this bit of her program. Nice.

Anyway I better be off, until next time.

My dear, for me it doesn't matter who participates. In this show Mishin is the first and Plushy is the next. Because Mishin = Plushy and Plushy = Mishin..He is like father and son .. he is Mishin's most famous and favorite student. This is what everyone who watches this show knows. Plushy has always been very calm and in his element. He knows his value very well and has participated in many anniversary shows and has always had unforgettable appearances

I think Mishin and Alina kind of connected during the filming of Ice Age. He said some really nice things about her and compared her to Lionel Messi. Very high praise from the Professor.

I'm just speculating, I have no idea why she's performing there. Especially since I think the Ice Age Gala show is the next day. But it's nice to think he might have wanted her there.
 
Hello fellow Plushy fans.

This is a very memorable week! 7 years ago Team Russia won the inaugural Team Event (and Plushy his fourth Olympic medal! 🥰)

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHfahmDvg8 - Plushy's post about it.

And look! I couldn't find an official video of the Men's SP, but Plushy obviously has sources, because here it is Russian Commentary): https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLJHD5BKIJa

Still my favourite quad combo!

In other news

Sasha P Shenanigans:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJCgKYK6rX - Still working on those combos :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJKJeKASMs - OMG! Sasha was at a competition yesterday! And he won! :biggrin: Man, I'm disappointed that I missed this whole thing. He did say he'll post his program later on, I look forward to it. (I'm also intrigued by the Harry Potter costume on the kid who came second, looks like it was a cute competition.)

Not much else to report, for now.

Until next time!
 
Hello fellow Plushy fans!

It's Friday afternoon here in Australia and the weekend is ahead so I'm in a good mood. ☺️

Today Plushy posted his Sochi Team Event FS: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLKCKxkq-ZG - I'm always amused that one of our Aussie commentators somehow ended up being in the official Olympic Channel.

Throwback!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLyzpsgnfR - Baby Sasha P with Plushy's Olympic medals, you may have heard me d'awwww-ing from Aus! 🥰

As promised Sasha P posted his FS from the competition the other day: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLKAaoxIyNR - Ha ha I love this program, the telescope miming makes me :biggrin:

Yana stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLxKkLFO-l - Looking stylin'!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJNd_6FMhC- Reminding me I haven't gone to the gym in like a week :laugh:

Right better wrap this up and have some dinner.

Until next time, stay golden ;)
 
Hello fellow Plushy fans!

Hope you're all well and having a good weekend.

Plushy, Yana and Sasha P went to the ballet last night and Sasha T, Aliona and Sergei R also came along as well :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPSxzcjwnU - They went and saw Don Quixote :) Look at Sasha P's little Nutcracker coat 🤗

Right I'm actually visiting my little bro in his new apartment, so I better be social!

Until next time!

Bit late in reply to this, but thanks for the info, I hadn't realised the Professor worked on Ice Age.

I was in a bad mood when I posted that, so it came off meaner than I intended.

I'm looking forward to the show! I hope there'll be a link to watch!
 
Hello again, fellow Plushy fans.

Just an update: Apparently the photo with Aliona is an old one, which Yana posted because there was backlash about Plushy and Yana only taking Sasha T to the ballet and accusing Plushy of favouritism and snubbing the better skater (🙄) Nice jumping to conclusions there...maybe Aliona was busy or didn't want to go or something? Hmpf!

Moving right along to more cheerful things, today is Valentine's Day!

Anywho, I have work tomorrow so I better be off.

Until next time!

Something to make you even happier: I don't think Yagudin will be part of the show. The original announcement just stated that Mishin was the coach of Olympic champions Urmanov, Yagudin, and Plushenko, not that they will participate in the celebration (at least that's how I understood it with my arguably limited Russian skills). On the poster there is no mention of Yagudin, and since he is a rather big celebrity in Russia, I guess they would have used his name for the advertisement if he was going to show up.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Plushy in action! I know he skated in his ice shows, but I would love to see some kind of "regular" exhibition programme from him. He always was so creative with his exhibitions, they often were the highlights of his competitions for me. 🥰
 
15 years ago today - it was the best of times!

Gasp! I was just racing over to post this! You have usurped me ;) :laugh:

Man, remember when step sequences didn't suck? All that one footed skating these days, grumble, grumble.

Also look how proud the Professor is, awww 🥰 (Too bad Plushy couldn't be in that photoshoot, Gangster!Plushy would rock!)

Something to make you even happier: I don't think Yagudin will be part of the show
Woohoo! And makes sense 'cause honestly I feel like he wouldn't want to be there anyway, he and Mishin didn't end their professional relationship on very good terms.

He always was so creative with his exhibitions, they often were the highlights of his competitions for me. 🥰
Yes! Plushy's exhibitions are the best! Although, I'm not sure he's had time to come up with anything new... Still, it's sure to be fun to watch!

OK, I better be off!

Until next time fellow Plushy fans!
 
:eek2: I'm so sorry, it won't happen again, I promise! It's just that the 2006 Olympics have a very special place in my heart, not only because my faves all did so well but also because of some personal memories connected to that time. So I am overly enthusiastic when it comes to Torino 2006. :party2::bsplit::dance3:
Ha ha just kidding, I'm always happy to see Plushy fans around on the board.

I remember recording lots of the Torino Olympics, although all the recordings are lost now :(, but alas I didn't pay much attention to Plushy (shame on me!) instead I can only clearly recall Brian Joubert's 007 program :laugh:
 
Hello fellow Plushy fans!

15 years ago today, in front of a roaring Torino crowd, Plushy won gold at the 2006 Olympics. 🥰

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLW5WRfDQ8C - Plushy's post about it.

As a hopeless fangirl I really enjoy how long he took to get into starting position, it was like he was just surveying his kingdom, the ice. 🤗

I will remain forever pressed that NBC ruined this epic moment with their commentary (because it's the first result that pops up in YouTube, most annoying.)

In other news Plushy also posted this from back in 2010

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYpWZXKx_o - A 3A-4T attempt! Many years later Shoma Uno actually put this in a program. I wonder what the base value would have been in 2010.

Coachshenko content:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLYaG47qZdz - Quality skating, watch and learn Angels :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYfA0LBxYV - Coachshenko and his students - no idea what is being said, but awww.

Yana's breakfast returns!


Right better wrap this up as I need to head to bed soon, but Happy Gold Medal Day to you all! 🥳
