Hello fellow Plushy fans, I've decided to do a new post for Plushy news!

First up, following Yuzu's historic FS and win at Skate Canada, Plushy posted this on his Insta:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B4J0MONIx42 - "Ones again you show the world who you are!!! Continue pushing figure skating to the next level. I am proud of you Yuzu san"

Ha ha so awesome!

Speaking of which, I was bored so I looked up the #plushenko tag on Twitter and came across this illustration of Yuzu's fanboying of Plushy: https://twitter.com/Violet03483478/status/1163106381882200064?s=19 :laugh: You tell 'em, Yuzu! ;)

Moving on! As mentioned this weekend was the "Plushenko Cup"!

As mentioned, I tracked down the live stream so I watched some of it live! Including Sasha and Sofia Sarnovskaya. Sadly I missed Sofia Titova, boo.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HX3PyIRxU - Coachsenko giving Sofia T some last minute advice.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Hh92rJ5qh - According to this, Sofia T attempted a 3A in her FS! I take it she didn't land it, but still pretty cool. She was in 4th after the SP, no sure where she ended up. The winner of her category was another Sofia. Sofia Samodelkina, who I've heard of before,but I'm not sure if she's an Eteri girl or from somewhere else in Moscow.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4JtE2coKbC - In the First Sports Category (I don't know what that is :laugh: ) there were two competitors, both Angels. We've seen them before in other competitions, the gold medallist Maxim Avtushenko landed his first 3A! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J95_xImnN

The silver medallist is Ilya Mavlyanov - who was at the Halloween Cup last week and won the Intermediate Novice category there.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IwPTXoeUS - Sofia Sarnovskaya came 1st out of group of 14 girls in the 2nd Sports Category (I think, Google Translate isn't clear.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4KHX7wI-3n - Sofia's skate, it was very good!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B4ID-68lW1s - I very much enjoyed Sasha's skate, Tango Amore 2.0 is the bomb! He did fall, but managed to get gold. :) of course it should be noted that there was only two entries in Sasha's group, so a medal was always in the cards, still it was a close thing! Also check out the plushies he gets! :laugh2:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Jv_hgoatg - Sasha receiving his gold from Plushy and Adelina. Ha ha the medals are still better than GP France.

Here's a photo of the medallists: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IvLbWI-do

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J1C1SA7l2 - Sasha enjoying his medal :) :laugh: I feel like he's thinking "I'm never taking this off!"

Yana's breakfast: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HVO2pImkp

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FXJejojoG - More photos of Yana in that cool dress for the Cinderella promos.

Yana's dress - I must have missed this one. The other one I saw was strapless and with a very - VERY! - full skirt (how much material there was in that thing I cannot even begin to imagine… )

Pops up - Hello fellow Plushy fans, hope you're all well!

Plushy posted this for Coach Day: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RmRY8C09E/ - It's for the Professor! :) Which makes me happy, they were such a fab team. Which brings me to something funny I noticed...Rina Rybova and Sofia Samodourva have the same version of Roxanne for their programs! Are Plushy and the Professor sharing music libraries? Although, if they are, they should share better music, because that version of Roxanne is yikes! :eek: :laugh:

Also for Coach Day from Anais: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QG03ui2Fa - How cute are Coachshenko and Sasha? :luv17:


And look at this! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QA698ij2C - A cake and presents for the coaches of the Academy. Coachshenko gets sunflowers! :biggrin:

Yana stuff

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RjHLNIEsr - Yana with the producer of a tv station in Russia that is going to have a reality show about Yana on it! It premieres on 9th November, I wonder if I should try to watch it... Despite my lack of Russian comprehension :laugh:

Right, I have an early start tomorrow so I better wrap this up.

Goodnight all!

I don't quite understand what's going on in that trailer, but :biggrin: Those were certainly some sights. The music choice also set the tone. Thanks for compiling all the links!

Ha ha I know! Russian TV seems so weird to me as a non-Russian. Still looks like a fun show.

And thank you! I took on the role from Plushyfan who started the tradition. :) I hope I do it justice.

Anywho, I hope you're all well fellow Plushy fans! There's much to share!

Plushy and Sasha (along with Yana) have headed off to Spain to participate in Javi's Revolution on Ice show.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4o5U5XKmt7 - Plushy and Sasha on the plane :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pMJguIsgH - Sasha and his luggage. :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pb57aADdT - Sasha had been working hard on his jumps! First video - 2S-1A, second 2Lo-1A and third 1A-1A! I like them all! Interesting jump choices though, they're all sequences rather than combos.

Alas there's no video from the shows yet, but if you check Sasha's Insta stories you can see them arriving for rehearsal. So jealous of those who get to go!

Coachshenko content:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4g1WGphwYk - Follow the Plushy!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4g2_TthKBF - At the end of each lesson the group practices their spins. And now I'm dizzy :p

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4o5PCoIBjM - Everyone working on the 3A! :biggrin:

Sasha stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kfDbCIeUA - D'awww Coachshenko congratulates Sasha on a training session well done. :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4oqFyZoD0h- Sasha hard at work at off-ice training, gotta strengthen those jumping legs.

Other stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mMAuzAAE5 - A few days ago Yana and Sasha went to one of Dima Bilan's concert.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nDvDeoK-P - Yana posted this fab photo of her and Plushy to mark the premiere of her show.

Plushy can't decide which car company to go with :laugh: here he is with a Rolls Royce https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nDZs2CBgq - I do love suitable Plushy, except for the no socks, why you do this, fashion? It looks so uncomfortable! But those are nice cars seriously!

Anyway, better wrap this up! Have a good day everyone!

Hello fellow Plushy fans! What's this you ask, two updates in one day? But videos and photos from Javi's Revolution on Ice have begun to appear and I have to share!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B4rchbAobnv - Angelsofplushenko
Everyone is in a good mood and have a great day off! :)

We offer to watch Alexander Plushenko’s performance at yesterday’s show in Spain, where he skated his number with Evgeni Plushenko! :thumbsup: See how Sasha fights for every jump. Well done, Alexander! So do the best athletes. Champions! :clap: @plushenkoofficial
#angelsofplushenko @gnomgnomych

Yana also posted the video and said rudkovskayaofficial
11,000 spectators in Malaga at the

“Revolution on ice” show in Spain! I'm proud of you, Sanya@gnomgnomychI have nothing more to add, you are a great fellow! At 6 years old, having such love with the audience and being so sure is worth a lot! Ahead of us: Italy, Romania, Hungary. Germany, Cinderella in Moscow and Swan Lake in St. Petersburg, Japan, America, Canada, United Arab Emirates and China #proudmama

First of all, how utterly epic is it when Plushy appears and he and Sasha do the same moves! Such unison! I've seen actual pairs skaters more out of time! :love:

Secondly, look at all the places they're going! No Australia though...I need to gather my courage to travel to Japan...

Thirdly, Sasha saved those jumps like a boss!

And of course Plushy skated his own solo program:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B4rchUDivME -Such beauty mine eyes have never seen. Plushy is the Tsar! :hap93: The crowd clearly agree, they are wise.

Plushy thanks Javi for his awesome show: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4rWDxuoaHx At first I thought Javi was really short, then I realised he wasn't wearing skates. :laugh:

Lastly, exciting Angels news! Artem Kovalev wonin the men's at the Volvo Cup and Ekaterina Rybova came second in the ladies! Rina will be skating at Rostelecom next week, I'm looking forward it. :cheer:

OK, I really must be off because tomorrow I return to work! Have a good day all!

Hello fellow Plushy fans! Well it's been a week since my last update! I had so much work to catch up on after my holiday and then the Rostelecom Cup was on... I've barely had any time to fangirl! :p

Ah well, let's remedy that!

Coachshenko content!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B442PAfILbk - A very artistic photo from Anais! Coachshenko and Sofia T.

There was a competition for the younger kids during the last week, apparently it's held in memory of an early figure skating champion from Russia.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xq_DlIYt8 - Sofia T does an off-ice run-through under the watchful eye of Coachshenko.

Sofia didn't manage to get a medal in this event, but she's improving each competition and that's the important though.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B412TL1orrq - Coachshenko and Nikita Sarnovsky discussing how the short program went. Nikita seems disappointed...cheer up, son, your costume is boss!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B44OoN6IIyx - Nikita manages to pick up a bronze medal at the Memorial Tournament. Congratulations to him!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B42lB3Vo3Ci - Coachshenko and Sasha working on Tango Amore 2.0, this is cute!

Plushy stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4wSxVQoJr5 - Plushy has new blades! Apparently they're from Canada and have special technology, beats me what it is though. Also I could watch Plushy do this all day :laugh:

Sasha stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B44862oIqFZ- Sasha continues his quest to be the boss of spread-eagles!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B49gfXuo2CX - Sasha wishing us Happy Autumn, also featured the last of the Plushenko apples! So maaany! :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B47mUAogzZq - D'aaaawwwww Sasha's outfit for the Cinderella show is just so cute. No idea what the guy in the back is doing...I thought it was a Christmas tree at first!

Yana's breakfasts:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B41qDeKoWmy - Salad for breakfast! Interesting choice there.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B49U-60IfIY - This one is more traditional. :) Although now I really want a scone. :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B45HFpuIVOF - This is an ad or something for a Charity Christmas Ball. I liked Sasha's outfit.

The reality show:

I haven't actually watched it due to lack of time, but episode two was on yesterday and look it's Plushy with Papa Plush picking potatoes! (that's a tongue twister...) https://twitter.com/yokotanpeshenko/status/1195694453458997253?s=19

And before I wrap up, Rina Rybova competed in her first GP event! She finished up in 5th! That's pretty amazing considering Zhenya Med, Sasha T, Miriah and Satoko where there. Those are big names! I'm not sure Rina has a fanfest I may have to make one for her.

In the meantime check out the Angels of Plushenko Insta to see her programs. :biggrin:

Right better head off now! Goodnight all!

Hello fellow Plushy fans! I hope you're all well! As for me, I'm feeling pretty appalled having just been at the Figure Skating Universe board and coming across something very unkind about Plushy...well suffice to say it reminded me why I stopped going to that place.

Hello fellow Plushy fans! Hope you're all well! It's been a busy weekend for me, but I've finished putting up my Christmas decorations so I feel now is a good time for Plushy news.

The Golden Skate Awards (not to be confused with this forum :) )

Plushy and Sasha were invited to the show!

Here's the organisation's Insta post on Plushy: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5fAY8coG5T - His majesty, the tsar. Evgeni Plushenko and the international skating stars will make you dream on the Allianz Cloud ice. . (Nicely said, quality description, agree 100% ;) )

Hello Fellow Plushy fans! Time is flying now that it's December and I've left this thread unattended for too long :p

But I aim to remedy this, so let's get this party started.

The Grand Prix Final was on this weekend in Torino at the Olympic arena where Plushy won his gold medal and was generally epic! Number 1 fanboy Yuzuru was very much looking forward to competing, although alas it wasn't his competition.

Plushy however posted this supportive Insta post:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xfucXCEuB - plushenkoofficial
Today you fight like real warrior ,never give up,keep pushing, and go to your dream.Happy birthday my dear friend, Yuzu,be healthy,and let your dreams come trough,always with you.

(This is so sweet! I hope Yuzu saw it :) Imagine getting a post like that from one of your idols for your birthday! Also of note originally Plushy misspelled "warrior" as "worrier", which justifies my contention that the Russian 'o' sounds like the English 'a'. Throws me off when I'm trying to do the Duolingo audio questions. :laugh:)

The Academy also felt nostalgic and posted Plushy's 2004 Rus Nats Njinsky, let us enjoy it: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B5xy4_1Ipys - angelsofplushenko Many probably watch the Grand Prix finals in Italian Turin.

I allow myself a little digression into history. Speech by Evgeni Plushenko with the outstanding program “Dedication to Nizhinsky” музыка, music by the now famous violinist Edwin Marton. Russian Championship in St. Petersburg, 16 years ago! View grades for artistry. All 6.0!@plushenkoofficialЩёAn old judging system! With the program for this music, Yuzuru Hanyu performed on the ice of the Olympic Turin a few hours ago, and Yevgeny Plushenko won his first Olympic gold on the same ice in 2006! skiing!) #angelsofplushenko @plushenkoofficial @edvinmarton

(Quality comment, required viewing etc etc! ;) Also I'm evil, but my favourite part of that video after the skating is when they show TAT looking just done :laugh:)

In other news Plushy and Sasha are currently in Hungary for Kings on Ice! I believe Plushyfan is there! So lucky! Edvin Marton is there playing his violin, it sounds so epic!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5mf3ZcK2zn - Plushy's about it! There's other fantastic stars there too! They also went to Romania. Doesn't seem to be any video yet, I'll have to investigate further.

Coachshenko content!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5uSdpGIKiA - Coachshenko and students ready to get to work on Friday!

Sasha stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5r3KykoVuV - Hard at work on difficult jump entries! Nice.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5rpli_I_hY - Sasha on the spinning thing, he asks if we want to try it, to which I say oh heck no!

Family Plush related stuff:

Right better wrap this up, I have Christmas cards to write ;)

Hello fellow Plushy fans! Once again time has flown this week!

However, this does mean that there's video from the Kings on Ice shows.

As it turns out the one in Romania didn't go too well skate-wise the rink wasn't ready when the skaters arrived, they were still getting the rink ready so the show had to be postponed until morning, but the ice was still very bad.

Kings on Ice in Budapest though went well though!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B51I-t5B0BJ - Sasha skated Tango Amore 2.0 to Edvins's accompaniment.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B50-WutJ9qg - From Sasha to Plushy! :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B51teMgDwXn - Plushy in blue skating to live with Edvin to Storm. Plushy skates to this whenever Edvin gets the violin out, but I do love how much Plushy enjoys this program. :biggrin:

This is from the Golden Skate Awards...

https://www.instagram.com/p/B525wBDInkr - I do love photos of Plushy skating, he always looks so elegant (jump and spin face excepted of course :laugh:)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pDIi8oJFl - Plushy and Sasha skating together. Sasha asks which is your favourite. :) I had trouble picking, but chose 1.

Sasha stuff

https://www.instagram.com/p/B59pXX1oQX- - A skater's eye view of Sasha practing, this is cool!

Right it's getting late for me so I should be off now. See you next time!

I'm so appalled right now! I have no idea what happened overnight nor can I find any information, but the Team Tubteridze Instagram account posted a message where they claim Plushy tried to get Alina to join the Academy and calling him a "fake" coach!

Now I don't know if Plushy did approach Alina, but even if he did how dare they say that! I wanted to go to the Russian Ladies thread and point out...again that Plushy has been a coach for about 3 years now and what was Eteri herself doing 3 years into coaching? What was Mishin? What was Brian O or anyone else doing at that point in their career? But I know doing so would just get me a whole lot of grief since everyone thinks the post is just fabulous.

It makes me mad that people want Plushy to fail...you can not like his skating, heck, you can even not like him.as a person, but questioning his dedication to figure skating...do they even care that when he does go on breaks from the Academy it's usually for skating shows?! But then I guess they just wish he'd leave skating forever.

Well, I hope he doesn't, I hope he's around for as long as Mishin and gets his own stupid hashtag (I hope he doesn't, that #teamtutberidzeforprogress hashtag annoys me so much, as if no other team wants their skaters to progress.)

And that's all I have to say about that.
