What are people without their opposable thumbs ;)

Thanks for the update!

Too true! Thankfully, they seem to have returned again.

Coachshenko updates!

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxMRL7KIiEB - Another week another competition in Russia it seems! Here Coachshenko gives Vera (in a beautiful costume!) some last minute instructions during the warm up.

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxMX8ZJoa-y - Coachshenko fistbump with Kirill before Kirill starts his SP.

It seems this comp isn't been livestreamed like so many others which is a bummer because I wanna see!

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxMSbPzohGe - Here's some of Vera's skate though!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxEtADtnQoK - I have no idea what this exercise is for, but Sasha seems on top of it :laugh: (Also look at Plushy go! That reminds me I have to go to the gym...)

And...

Daily Dose of Coachshenko!

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxO0BDwoSH3 - Off-ice work out. I am reminded that I can't do a push-up, like at all...so good on these kids! Also featuring Plushy singing. :laugh2:

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxO2qF5o3vR - Coachshenko and Sofia Titova working on the axel off-ice. Sofia won her division :biggrin: so the mood is celebratory at the Academy.

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxO8gH_IQm- Kirill's FS! He won in his division! :cheer: Also look at that quality donut spin with no free-leg droppage. :peace:

Finally....

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNPWNEg0o8 - Like father like son! Moments from Sasha's and Plushy's skates at Bol :luv17:

In today's Plushy-news

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNPWNEg0o8 - Sasha is working on something! Apparently it's a figure skating test, looks way more difficult then the one I did many, many years ago I can tell you! :laugh:

Yesterday 9th May was Victory Day in Russia, a time to remember the veterans from the Second World War.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPn5Phgfea - Sasha with a photo of one of his great grandfathers.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/BxPegRHBfbW - Plushy posted this link to a exhibition skate which is annoyingly sideways, not sure if that's Instagram's fault or Plushy's. Probably Plushy's, technology is so rude! Anyway, the song he's skating to is called "As Long As The Candle Burns" in English and it's about not giving up. So it's a tribute to the spirit of the Russian veterans who didn't give up during the war.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRyjhCAwTc - Wow check out Sasha's toy car collection, that is impressive!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxR0BrIgJeX - Yana and some goats, I'm amused :laugh2:

Plushy Update! (I was going to do this last night, but I had the worst headache! :()

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSbnMhI4yO - Plushy and Sasha comparison! This is adooooorable! :luv17:

Italian newspapers know where it's at! An article about Bol. https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxUP82ShTa3

Coachshenko at work:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUENTRoUT0 - Teaching Sasha the double flip! Hopefully, he'll pick it up soon.

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxU778UFHYB - Sofia jumps at 2A-3T-2L! :cool2:

After a hard week of work at the Academy - paintball! https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxU-TS6BTh9

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVI6ghH-38 - Sasha talking about going to Japan and something about plans - but since I don't speak Russian I don't know what they are! :laugh:

Someone on the FSU board noticed that the Angels website no longer works... which makes me wonder if I should inform them, although you'd think they know...but it's been down for a few days now...

Feeling irate today, so I've decided to post early to get into my happy place :p

Coachshenko news!

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxXlibGoodU - At the end of on-ice training it's traditional to play tag. :biggrin: (Also the end of the URL for this Insta link has cheered me 500%)

https://www.instagram.com/plushenkoofficial/p/BxVFpitjgr- I have no idea who made this or how Plushy got it, but when I saw it all I could think was "There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the Plushy" :laugh2:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXhUcEgndU - And for our "Awwwww" quota here's Sasha giving his mother some flowers for Mother's Day :luv17:

It's Daily Update Time!

Coachshenko news!

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/BxZAalHhT0z - Working moments! I can't decide what photo is my fave, but I quite like the first one, Plushy is master of all he surveys! :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/angelsofplushenko/p/Bxbwe7gBoVC - Coachshenko at work! Jumping techniques.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxZIlBngHqG - Sasha and Coachshenko - translation: Hard in teaching, easy in battle Is the case when your coach is your dad -awww :luv17:

In other news, Plushy and family have many, many dogs, but apparently the little one called Fifa is Plushy's fave:

https://www.instagram.com/plushenkoofficial/p/Bw_4RTuI8HK - :laugh: That's one comfy looking dog!

https://www.instagram.com/plushenkoofficial/p/Bw_4RTuI8HK - :laugh2: This is like a week old, but hilarious all the same. Yana gets back from Morocco to find this ;) :p

I gotta say, my mother loved her dog, but she never let them in the bed!

Life at Casa Plush looks interesting!

Plushy update!

Competitions keep coming in Russia and the Angels have had a lot of success. Here's Margarita Yadgorova who won in her division.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcuQekhyOQ - Warning! The first video is so cute, I squeed :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxczDTJgDQv - Coachshenko and son hard at work, Sasha training a double Salchow.

Many years ago now Plushy found a lost cat in St Petersburg and put out an appeal YouTube for someone to adopt him.

One of his fans did and this is Axelbush the cat today! https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcyBngiZZD - Awwwww! :love:

Doesn't have Plushy in it, but this is too hilarious not to post!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxc3I_oiIzl - When Sex Bomb comes on during training, the fun begins!

So, because of time zones, I didn't see any Plushy-news yesterday, but as it happens Instagram is chock-full of goodness today!

There's another competition on, GoogleTranslate says it's the Silver Shark (I'm sure it isn't, but OMG what a name!)

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh1PyQCHDR - Practicing in the Hall just before the competition.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhueTYCnQg - Adorableness alert! Sofia -in Plushy's Sochi jacket before the SP.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh3w-qCcGa - Last minute encouragement for Sofia from Coachshenko. :cheer:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiDuSoiNMx -Sofia is in the lead after the SP! As I'm rewatching Plushy's competitions at the moment, I'm loving the music. Also, Coachshenko at the boards FTW!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxje0oCls4z - And just two hours ago, another Angel was on the spinny-thing of doom :laugh2: Plushy showing the correct stance and whatnot.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiKCN9HfQr - :laugh: Sasha and Sofia during off-ice training.

On the homefront...

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh9fzugeVo - Plushy is excited about spring arriving. This is adorable and awesome. Look at his faaace. :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/Bxh5IgjghUZ - Wow, check out Sasha's haul! (Or it might just be toys available at the Academy for the baby skaters who do well, I can't speak Russian so don't know).

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjhmusoDPl - As always, Yana's breakfast is better than yours :p

Go Sofia!:) I really like her skating and (what I've seen of) her programs. On a shallow note, I think her dresses are really pretty.

Also, if the competition isn't called Silver Shark - then it should be.:)

Well, I'm thoroughly disillusioned by my country voting to keep an idiot in, so let's turn to Plushy news to cheer up, shall we?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxmiIzUlogB - Coachshenko giving Margarita a pep talk, apparently she had a rough test skate and stopped halfway through!- Sasha appears unimpressed, but I'm sure he's just thinking about his own upcoming program :biggrin:

Which means all those toys from yesterday are for the baby skaters.

Sasha's test skate! https://www.instagram.com/p/BxmgDTRoVKa - Nice photos!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkwJilFKjF - Coachshenko and Sasha going over Sasha's performance after the test skate. Awwwww! :luv17:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxmKZv4l_oQ - Or maybe Sasha was just practicing his model face before. I like his hat.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxkq2T2B3E_ - Plushy and Fifa watch Eurovision :laugh2:

Yes! Her outfits are so pretty and I enjoy her skating too. So excellent news that she won!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxlnkoOCkfj - You go, girl! :cheer:

We'll remember it as the Silver Shark! ;)

Pops up again. There was actually a lot of Plushy news yesterday, but I had a headache (hmm maybe I should get my eyes checked), so am only updating now.

Coachshenko news!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrBtikl914 - Off-ice exercise with Sasha.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxq_a3tiDes - Coachshenko lifts! I assume this is showing proper jumping technique.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrGd0CBkOm - This however is just for fun! Although I get dizzy just watching it :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/BxpxrrVI-Q4 - Sasha's test skate from the other day. I do like his costume! Although MJ music is contraversial now...

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxo_XhOAyMX - Sasha practicing his camel spin - remember to point your toe! :p

On the homefront:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxm_QCjDD8R - Plushy and Sasha playing football :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnN_rzlEpH - Sasha's ad! Those teddy bears are so cute! :luv17:

Sasha being cute :laugh2: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrOBDLlUF_

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrSObynFlD - Yana's breakfast, looks yummy! And that's one well-behaved dog! :laugh:

It's update time - I'm pretty sure Plushy is skating in Japan soon, but as of now he's still in Russia, sooo...

Coachshenko news!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtaTQtFyUT - Follow the Plushy! My favourite :biggrin: Not sure what they're learning here, probably skating skills, looks fun!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtxcKGFyMQ - Sasha doing his test! He passed :) :cheer:

This should probably be in the Teams thread, but the Angels Summer Camp looks set to be boss! https://www.instagram.com/p/BxuVGcriXbw - Elena R and Ivan Bukin will give Master Classes!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsXYBYHced - Sasha flying across the ice! Give it a few years and Plushy probably won't be able to keep up ;) :biggrin:

Sasha posted the same video actually and mentioned his new program will be Tango Amore. Which is probably age-inapporiate, but I love the music so I can't bring myself to tsk (although, I never clutched my pearls over Alexandra T and Big Spender, so yeah).

Yana continues to impress with the breakfasts! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxt28Q3A2lc - Nice flowers.

I usually update later on, but I saw this and OMG :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvHQUqovk3 - It's not the worst pairs spin I've seen.:laugh2:

So nice that Maxim K doesn't have hard feelings about Sochi, says a lot about him as a person (I'd probably hold a grudge to be honest).

Also, Plushy's sit spin is looking good these days, where's Dick Button? ;)

Priceless.:) Definitely worthy of a post of its own. In fact, I'm tempted to post this elsewhere so that others can enjoy it too… ;)

Ooo, whereabouts? In the Angels of Plushenko thread, or somewhere else.

But yeah, share the love!

As it happens there's not much other Plushy news today, he's gone all quiet on us :p

(Although there's lots going on in the Academy in general, perhaps I should help you out with the posting there, LRK)

But, here's a nice photo of Sasha:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwbiAOAh7e

And one of Yana wishing us a good morning https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwajyxAqN9 - Guess the weather is nice in Moscow right now.

No, I put it in the "Figure Skating Friendships"-thread in The Edge.:)

re the Angels thread - I'll get caught up… eventually… ;) May as well have everything in sequence. Besides, you are already holding down the fort here - doing excellent work, I'll add, and I'll take this opportunity to thank you for it. It would have been so sad if this thread had been allowed to lapse after all the years of hard work plushyfan put into it. So, really appreciate it.:thumbsup:

:laugh: I found it not long after posting my question, good place! Although, Plushy and Maxim K as friends still blows my mind.

Aww thank you so much! :) I'm glad to be able to keep the record of Plushy going. He's a busy man after all.

I've just gone on Insta though and discovered something's happened to the Angels Instagram! They've been locked out and all the posts are missing! I hope they can restore it quickly! Hackers suck. :(

In today's Plushy news:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxegvQAmJK - Plushy is packing for Japan! Sasha wants to come too :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxy-wOXg6xI - An action shot of Sasha! Nice edges.

And that is sadly all for now. Fingers crossed for the Angels Insta!

Well, not the best start to the weekend for me, I feel under the weather, dragged myself into work (because it's a casual shift I won't get paid if I don't) and then it turned out they didn't really need me because another person came in. Oh well, I stayed for 2 hours so at least I get paid for that.

Also the Angels Insta is still MIA.:(

However! Plushy is in Japan at Fantasy on Ice so there's some photos and videos:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2Inw4plEa - Plushy in the Opening Number! I thoroughly agree with one of the comment: "I love his mischievous smile" :biggrin: Indeed! What have you got planned for us, Plushy?

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx18eZAAZUQ - Plushy jumps, I smile!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2YLmBg--v - Plushy bringing the draaaama face.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2DPaIJ2nz - This landing position is stunning :love:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2F36RJXPP - Behold! The mullet in full-flight!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2JvTJpgRz - Finale! I see you, Yuzu right next to Plushy ;) He's living the fanboy dream.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2SK8aiK4r - Leaving the ice.

Meanwhile back at the Academy, Sasha is training his double flip - https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2o3SMAIhE - Last time we saw him trying it he was falling so this is a big improvement! :agree:

That's all for now.

I was about to head to bed, but with Fantasy on Ice on, there's things on Insta to post!

First off though, there was drama at an earlier show today with an earthquake occuring right when Plushy was performing his program :eek:!

No-one was hurt or anything, but the show was delayed for a bit. Still, I'd have freaked out!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/Bx4pgLJA-p0 - Plushy's Adagio when the earthquake was starting. He just skated on! OMG, that must have been craaaazy! In fact this is a translation of what he says under the video: "Today, on my room in the #fantasyonice show earthquake tremors began
I go to Japan for 21 years and for the first time on the ice I felt 4 shocks, my performance was postponed for 30 minutes to Mr. Makuhari. And it happens ......."

Man, Plushy is a total boss. Talk about the show must go on!

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4qq7fAX5j - A standing ovation from the crowd! :biggrin:

Back in Russia, Sasha is hanging out in the garden with these beautiful flowers! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4PARYgh2K
