Plushenko will honour us with his presence in 2010!

[Medusa]

I think you need glasses. According to ISU Weir is 1.72m and Plush 1.78m. Jouby is one cm taller than Plush and Lycakek..ok..10 more!
According to me Plushy is ok tall for a figure skater, I didnt see many around in his height.

Weir is after Wiki and I think his own info 175cm tall (5'9). ISU biographies are sometimes out of date. It would fit that the height they have from Weir was the one when he started competing internationally at age 16.

I think 175cm is about the average height among European / North-American male skaters. Lambiel is 175cm too, as far as I know, it also is Yagudin's height.

 

[seniorita]

Yes Lambiel must be around there, I ve seen Plush and Lambiel together, and Stephan is little shorter and his frame is much more narrow, he looks too thin! Buttle is not very tall, he looks taller on tv.

 

[Medusa]

But I couldn't confirm it on any English language source, and I don't want to mislead people here. What to do? Can anyone here read Czech?

Well, I checked his website and his official forum and found nothing. He has very devoted fans, I guess they would have posted it by now (we in the Lambiel forum collect every article about him and mostly very shortly after they appeared).

But someone forgot that he is only supposed to jump when the water is frozen!

Yes Lambiel must be around there, I ve seen Plush and Lambiel together, and Stephan is little shorter and his frame is much more narrow, he looks too thin! Buttle is not very tall, he looks taller on tv.

Buttle is a bit shorter than Weir / Lambiel / Yagudin at 173cm. I have no idea how tall Jeremy Abbott is, the various sources say everything from 5'9 till 6'0. But Lambiel is not that thin, I think he always said that his weight is around 66kg - which is still okay at 175cm.

 

[seniorita]

66kg?Really?Plush 's competition weight all years was much more, 72kg, maybe they have different body types. Then he became little chubby last year up to 80kg but he is back to his weight now. Stephan has still the boyish body, thats what I meant, small frame. Not bad thin, just much thinner than tv. he is gorgeous by the way
Buttle is a bit shorter than Lambiel who is a bit shorter than Plushy who is a bit shorter than Jouby, all in all Buttle looked little short and seemed shorter and thinner live than tv I had them around for a whole weekend all together in Milan, Szolkowy is also not too tall, he is like Lambiel, I mean from tv he looks also more..grand!
I was not walking around them like a bee but the hotel had one reception and one breakfast room and one elevator (actually 2, but one was broken) so it was fortunate to bump into them all day. I shared the elevator with Stephan one day but I kept dead silent from shock when i saw who was inside! and these things never break down when you want them to

He also said he was in a shock that Ant didnt wish him. But Plushy has a grand heart and thanked also Ant for this even know he knew it was not possible for him to send a message(dont worry Ant, british accent was represented from another fan!

Seniorita, I do think you're right that Ant is an uber fan of Plushy. Just for you I found a picture of Ant.

PLUSHY VIDEOS OF TRAINING HIS PROGRAMS

straight from his official http://evgeni-plushenko.com/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR_A2kb3Sww

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfo3dARjWzg


what does he say in his second video??it is russian..

*seniorita is dead*

 

[janetfan]

I have translated the clip and Plushy is talking about food and his favorite dessert. I am shocked that he does NOT choose baklava as his favorite. :disapp:


From 2003 interview with Plushenko:

"I don’t eat out. I eat at home. My mom gives me great food, and I like what she makes – meat, chicken, Japanese food. I like very much the borscht she makes. In the mornings, she make fresh-squeezed orange juice for me. I don’t have dessert during training. But sometimes after a competition, I will have dessert. My favorite is cheesecake. No toppings, just plain cheesecake."

Now I have found out it is Evan who likes baklava

 

[seniorita]

Who else has shown piece of their programs by now?
Can we speak serious for once
Please?

What do you think, he shows all his SP up there!!!!..why did they got it on youtube, as much as I wanted people to see it, pinzolo clips are kept dead secret inside his fan boards, ..and yet we had not seen that much of footage!!!!anyway...

I think I ll watch it ten more times and then I ll come back to earth...

forget baklava, i m busy now!

Well, everyone skating at Liberty this week will presumably be showing both programs: Chan (though his LP costume might not be ready), Ryan Bradley, Stephen Carriere and Ashley Wagner will be there - see the link for more names.

I'm a chocolate girl, always have been. Plushy can have his cheesecake.

 

[Medusa]

Okay, ich beiße in den sauren Apfel: he is looking good. Damn good, actually. If the others can't get it together with a Quad in SP and LP + maxed out programs, I don't want to hear them complaining if Plushenko is to be the first defending Olympic Champion since Dick Button.

 

[Hsuhs]

what does he say in his second video??it is russian..

Well, friends...
As you can see the practice is over, Alexei Nikolaevich and David are happy with how things are.

Today, at the morning practice we've worked on the straight step sequence, there's little things we need to work on, but a lot's been done so far. We've just finished working on the circular step sequence. There's been some successful quad attempts today... I also did 3A's, all other triple jumps. So I've been doing things. Stay tuned, and I'll stay tuned as well.

- Evgeni, what's your weight at right now?
- Right now, at the end of the practice, I don't know.. but it was 73 kilo's. My combat Olympic weight is 72. So, let's lose weight together!
- Good luck!
- Poka!

 

[seniorita]

thank you for the translation Hsuhs
Ah, I came back to orbit, still strange they put them out, Mishin one day got annoyed with all cameras, Italians fans around plush's feet everyday , juventus visits and stuff and closed the doors for his training, so well that was a shock today!
I just watched videos home with music and all and i think The SP is Plushenko. I like it, it is Nocturne mixed with something else I cannot recognize though. Tango..it will grow on me...the music has changed a lot.
All elements including jumps are still to prove but I think his goal in pinzolo was to fix his footwork. In one interview he said in his training he jumps only 5-6 quads out of 10, the Mishin team target is 9 out of 10 so that they can be successful in comps. He also trains 4-3-3 in pinzolo, lets see... But he trains on ice very little time, mostly he is off ice physical training, it is early still, probably this is wise.

Hp movie...not that I didn't wait for this to a level but they butchered the best of the book series big time. If you havent read the book you dont understand a thing and if you have read it, it is like you havent . It is like a video game for teenagers..although they have some cool dark effects. Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman are the stars there.

 

[janetfan]

Was it my imagination - or wash Plushy getting a little lower on his sit spins?

 

[seniorita]

I think I ll watch the video again tomorrow ....for the 20th time to watch the spins, I noticed a nice sort of headless one, but so far I ve payed attention to the music and I watched his steps, low sit spin or not, Plushy is trying and I want to send him the biggest cheesecake for this !
