Hello fellow Plushy fans!

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

It seems I totally missed out on the days Plushy performed in his first Olympics at Salt Lake City, now 18 years ago!

I'm also bummed that I have no recollection of Plushy whatsoever! I remember Yags...mostly because he went on an Aussie sports show afterwards.

However, I do recall the first time I watched Plushy's programs on YouTube and how amazed I was that after the opening fall on the quad, Plushy just nailed it! I've never seen an athlete shake off a huge error like that. By the end of the program I'd actually forgotten he'd fallen at all. :laugh:

Then the FS...that was just boss, best Carmen ever! The gold medal was out of reach, but Plushy threw down everything he had. I can't believe I don't remember watching it live!

Any other fans out there remember watching it in real time and what they thought? I know the Plushy vs Yags rivalry was hardcore, were you bummed Plushy missed out on gold or proud he managed silver (or both!).

Enough walks down memory lane I've been meaning to update you all on current happenings.

Coachshenko content!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B825rdUIsBM - :laugh2: The caption for this actually refers to learning to move like a cat. So awesome.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vM2bpog3Q - Coachshenko with his group working on the axel Off-ice.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rNCP-oOmp - Lots of Loops!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rEPZUIJDU - I honestly have no idea what's going on here, but it looks fun!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qWzjxIDfU - GoogleTranslate made a hash out of the caption to this, but I'm pretty sure they're working on flip and Lutz edges. Don't quote me though :p Plushy looks like a penguin in his white and black outfit though.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B83fHXjIC-i - Sasha working with Coachshenko on jump height.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lQM_7obN6 - More jump height practice.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B83Iu25ou0e - Coachshenko and the attack of the spinny thing. I admire these kids, just looking at it is enough to make me dizzy!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8k9r2Bo7t5 - Coachshenko giving a pep talk during an Off-ice session. :)

Interestingly enough, the Plushenko Cup does take place twice a season. This is why he wasn't at the Russian Cup Final since it was on at the same time.

Sasha competed!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B85x0W6ob9z - Last encouraging words before the program.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B8y3KmpIuS5 - Sasha's skate! He's really getting into Tango Amore 2.0, Werk it, Sasha!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8y2kOOI_1V - Sasha did win :biggrin: although there was only one other kid competing in his age group, but what are you gonna do?

Amusing stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rRkLuIXsY - Give Plushy a ball...of any size and he'll start playing soccer. :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8no7Y9oBxq - Sasha hanging with the ladies :laugh2: He's rather outnumbered there.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8larWtp25g - This is old, but Plushy on Valentine's Day, awww :luv17:

Yana's breakfast:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8su9GWIMWF - Those are some lovely flowers!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8x7aWCI4j_ - My mother would be jealous of the Tiffany brand china. I'm jealous of the macarons! ;)

Right it's getting late and I want ice cream, so I'll wrap this up here.

See you next time!

Was this posted here before? I just came across the translation of Plushy's recent interview:

https://fs-gossips.com/evgeni-plushenko-zagitova-and-medvedeva-earn-very-little/

I thought this was interesting:

"We already have 50 percent of skater who skate for free.
And how are these 50 percent determined?
– Children from large families and the most talented ones have always studied with me for free. We look at the prospects during a try-out. I myself try to look for sponsors, we found two sponsors for Sofia Titova, these are large companies. I have many wealthy friends from large companies, there are private investments. I try to help children. Everyone thinks that we’re making a lot of money, but is far from reality. The costs are very high. Ice rental in Moscow is the most expensive in the world; these are objective figures."

Naturally while discussing what a mercenary wretch Plushy is, this did not come up… ;)

Hello fellow Plushy fans!

Sorry for disappearing on you all this week. I was going to update on Wednesday, but had an awful headache, Thursday night I had to clean my apartment because my air conditioner is (finally) getting installed and go to bed early (although in the end there's been a delay there..) and then yesterday -Friday - I slept terribly and woke up with a nasty cold :( (but just a regular cold, no need to panic on my behalf!)

This was especially disappointing because Plushy and co were at a competion this week (I know, another one!) and I'd hoped to catch some of it.

It was a Competition in honour of N.S Rysacov (I think? I have no idea who that is). Angels who competed were Sofia Titova, Olga Sabada, Kirill Sarnovsky and his brother Nikita, Maxim Avtyshenko and Andrei Kovalev.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_uf1BouN8 - Sofia and Coachshenko before Sofia's skate, :laugh2: at Plushy the cat tissue box, that's just adorbs!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B8_WrgHIRuZ - Sofia was in 2nd after the SP (my favourite music TBH).

There doesn't seem to be video of Sofia's FS, but...

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CIF-rIypK - Sofia T won her category! :cheer:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9GgprAImoBn - Nikita Sarnovsky's SP. Is that music from Sherlock?! I think it is! Love the outfit! Solid jumps too!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CNcUBoEMO - Coachshenko greeting Nikita S after his SP.

Coachshenko and co watching Kirill and Artem in their warm up group. I should probably leave their programs to be posted in their respective fanfests.

However! Kirill did a 3A in his FS!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9EVLz6Ik_k/ - Woohoo! Although I think he fell over during his SS later on, which is a shame, but bravo on the 3A all the same!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HfVCxIpU8 - Maxim Avtyshenko also brought out a 3A! What a tiny boss!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9He20DIIlk - Maxim A got silver in his category.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9GqBXno9X3 - Some of Olga Sabada's program, I like her style!

Other Coachshenko content!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B88G9HjIe9s - Warm-up before hitting the ice. I am in awe, how do people kick that high? I can barely get mine off the ground :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-xgWMoV71 - Coachshenko explaining a jump, the GoogleTranslate of the caption for this is hilariously off...the moon is mentioned!?!

Naturally while discussing what a mercenary wretch Plushy is, this did not come up… ;)

No I hadn't seen this... And of course it wouldn't be brought up, it doesn't fit the narrative ;)

Very interesting interview! :laugh2: at the idea of Plushy's Angels vs Yags's Angels, the drama would be off the scale, like some sort of reality TV show! Imagine them both at the boards... everyone else will want to take cover! Mishin vs TAT would pale in comparison.

Speaking of interviews, I randomly came across this one - about Liza Tukt, but Plushy got a shout out.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vwRCzJ5XT/ I have no idea who Olga Grigorieva is, but she knows the score :p

Sasha stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B86VFX0olrh - Sasha working on his English with Plushy. This is cute!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B83f1ayKsaj - This is cute too! Although as ever I have no idea what they're talking about.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B86YoJdKuBA - D'aaaawwwww!! Plushy posted this for Defender's Day. :luv17:

Yana's breakfast

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9EBlBtIJsz - Looks delicious! Although in this post Yana mentions that due to the Corona virus Plushy won't be doing a whole bunch of shows in Japan and China. Which makes sense, but what a shame! :(

Well on that note I shall wrap this up. Stay healthy everyone!

Hello Fellow Plushy fans! I hope you're all well!

I feel I've neglected this thread a bit! I keep meaning to update and then I lose track of time...

But! Today is a very important day, it's Coach Mishin's birthday! He's 79 years young and Plushy wrote a birthday post for him :) :hb:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9d9Yq4gp8t - Awww :)

It's also International Women's Day, which is a big deal in Russia.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dbrqmIbhM - Sasha wishing all the ladies a Happy Women's Day with a dance. D'aaaawwwww, what a cutie.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bwnSnIzv9 - Coachshenko, Mikhail and Sofia Titova celebrating after Sofia won a competion in Moscow. Awwww! Apparently this means Sofia is going to a Russia-wide competion in a few days, but GoogleTranslate might be letting me down again.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WzA0HIuod - Sofia T working on her 3As off-ice, you go girl!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9W4xrzo68X - Coachshenko and the Angels examine the jumps of Jason Brown. Good choice, go for those GOEs!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Q1VFdIfGN - Coachshenko and Mikhail working with some of the Angels on double lutzes.

Sasha stuff:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XAaIqo3qX - Sasha being a boss and landing a 2 flip. Niiice.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9N8bs3ocwH - Sasha training off-ice...now that would be a transition if it actually happened ON ice :laugh:

Other stuff:

Don't know how I missed this, but awwwww, Plushy and Fifa: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9J8q9KAY8p

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9d_noVIdGq - Just Plushy doing some glorious footwork NBD ;) :p

Back in Moscow: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bSgiun8TQ

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9d1J7WIFen - Yana's breakfast this morning. Interesting news with this one, apparently she's decided to go into self-quarantine for 14 days, at least the food will be good! ;)

Yana was in Paris for a fashion show, where she made sure to wear a fashionable mask... It made the news! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WZ0CxoYrv

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZgbcKoJbs - I like this dress! :)

Right it's past 11pm and I have work so I better wrap this up! See you all next time!

Hello Fellow Plushy fans!! Once again I've been remiss in not updating this thread, however I went to the zoo on Friday and after so much walking my legs were so sore it was just distracting. :laugh:

However, they've recovered now and I bring us super exciting Angels of Plushenko news!

Sofia did indeed compete in a competition this weekend for Advanced Novice (I think) Russian Nationals and...

She won!

I'm only disappointed I didn't get to watch because it was on at stupid o'clock Aussie time.

I was looking at Twitter though and came across this: https://twitter.com/yokotanpeshenko/status/1239209546268078080?s=19 - This is adorable TBH, I mean for a second I wondered what Plushy was doing just sitting there staring while Sofia and the other dude were so excited. Then I realised he was just double-checking the maths! A good idea I think and look at the big smile at the end awwww!

Congratulations Sofia! :cheer:

This was one of those three segment competions:

Elements - https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9ooKxkpIjj/?igshid=8w6rsph655yn

Short Program - https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9tlnBcIKlc - I hadn't realised Coachshenko was there until I watched this yesterday. A great skate! Look how excited everyone is at the end! :luv17: Sofia was in 3rd after this segment.

Free program - https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9wxAixKmBt/?igshid=1s8wntufz2skt - Posted by Coachshenko himself. :biggrin: And wow the last two elements were jumps! Hardcore! (I think it was because the program length for Advanced Novices is shorter, but I still think it's pretty cool)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wyPavpy_B - Champion Sofia and her team. :biggrin:

Sofia wasn't the only Angel in attendance, Kirill Sarnovsky's little brother Nikita was also there.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9rfr21or6i - Free Program- The sound quality is terrible, but I enjoyed this! I like Nikita's jumps, the 2A in particular was very nice! He came 5th overall out of 28. Well done, son!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9t4_OPI7V4 - More drama classes with Coachshenko. He's really in his element here! :) Not gonna lie, I'd pretend to be a flower bursting into life were I in this class.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9vtX0EIHRY/?igshid=o1e566x5ayvd - Not sure what's going on here, but according to the caption they're working hard. Now this I couldn't do as I am squatting challenged and also can't turn out my feet.

On that note I shall have to depart as I start my desk shift in the library in two minutes.

I shall return with more Plushy related news at some point.

Keep your hands clean all!

Hello fellow Plushy fans!

Once again I've been procrastinating on this thread, I bought a jigsaw puzzle last Monday and I keep spending half my evenings working on it. Which is rather sad...:laugh2:

However! I was just looking at Instagram and came across this fabulousness!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_nX_wKgx9 - This ad was filmed with Plushy 20 years ago. OMG, it's adorable and now I want to buy Chupa-Chups! :biggrin:

Meanwhile at the Academy there's a football in the building and Plushy isn't afraid to use it! :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B99nF2nIE1O

Coachshenko content

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B94hRLDgfiW - Coachshenko showing the Angels how to do this move (I think it's a death drop?) Epic!

Sasha stuff

Coachshenko and Sasha practicing at home part 1: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9j1Nm1IX-f and part 2: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9mYVA4gjaD

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9tZBLUogfa - A cool POV video of Sasha practicing.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B99lQNsowz - Sasha also gets into the football fun!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_bi_DIb08 - In the continued battle of Sasha vs the Spinning thing, Sasha shows it who's boss!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9yVS6aorIO - Sasha and Koyla ready to take on Corona virus. Seems as good a response as any the Aussie Government has come up with to be honest.

A blast from the past

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_nWMfIIee - From 2 years ago, Sasha shows off his breakdancing moves!

Yana's breakfasts

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ySWo9o8Nn - So many macarons!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9075X7oUcA - Love the roses!

Amusing stuff

https://www.instagram.com/p/B93hbjbImMh - Apparently there's a new app that will tell you the nationality of your face - so here's the Family Plushy's results (I'm gonna assume this is inaccurate, I swear one of those apps once told me I looked like Johnny Depp!)

On that note I must be off, I have work tomorrow - but not church, the Bishop has called off all services because of Corona! :eek: Life is getting weird.

Stay healthy everyone!

Hello Fellow Plushy fans! I hope all of you are well on these crazy times! I'm still at work although all the libraries are closed to the public. I also finished my jigsaw puzzle, but wouldn't you know it? A piece was missing! (A friend on Insta said that it was social distancing :laugh2:) I'm not undeterred though and have started on a new one.

In Plushy news, Russia has closed all schools and sports places so alas the Academy is closed. :( The students are still training at home though and seem in good spirits.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-R9FjSCAhC - Some of the Angels at work.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-Pb8Cwomk2 - Sofia Titova showing her off-ice 3A like a boss!

Before the closure...https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RkEIOoFwK - Catch the Coachshenko! :laugh:

Plushy is missing the ice though and yesterday posted this: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RnHuzKc25 - Just a little footwork sequence Plushy improvised on the last day the Academy was open. This is amazing and I love it.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-SAMooo3DO - Yana and Sasha enjoying the backyard of Casa Plush :biggrin:

Yana's breakfast!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Ov9MGIgH0

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-Pb8Cwomk2 - Apparently, the breakfast are popular enough that Vogue did a little video on it. :laugh:

I better be off now, stay healthy everyone!

Hello fellow Plushy fans! It feels like forever since I posted last, but I see it was only last Sunday! Seems like so much has changed. So far Australia has been very lucky in terms of cases of COVID-19, I'm still at work but we're moving to a two weeks at work, two weeks work-from-home set up, I don't start my working at home until the week after Easter.

Hope all of you are well!

The Family Plush remain in lockdown like most of us, but Plushy is making the best of it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UB8Atq05d - A little ditty to remind us of why we're all at home :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-WdmecDyCc - A whirlwind of energy! Look at Plushy go! And here I am sitting on my butt. Also...how cool would penalty shootouts be if you had to do a jump first? :biggrin:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UmFY6ogCP - Plushy, Sasha, Andrei, Nikolai and some other guy playing football. (Also Sasha is sponsored by a water company, interesting!)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Uh6ucDqV - Plushy and Sasha after a long day of football.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z71B1jx3Q - Dang, this is impressive! Plushy posted earlier about maybe setting up training videos, I think they'd be way too advanced for me! ;)

In the wake of the Summer Olympics being cancelled, Plushy posted this reminder that the emotions of the Olympics will be waiting for us! https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-HBoGWqSAS - This looks like some sort of documentary about Sochi, I'm intrigued!

Sasha stuff

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-SAMooo3DO - Sasha and Yana taking the quad bike for a spin.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-UYyqlI-_x - Sasha and Yana playing giant chess! This looks so much fun!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UBOKcobNC - Sasha enjoying the sun and football.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-XRer5gMRx - But also doing schoolwork! English class is going well.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-ZZtcAofE9 - It's good to have land...on a warmer day (18 degrees C!) Sasha does some fishing in the family stream.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eZSJeINmv and https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z3872oHmI- Reading with Yana and Fifa, these photos are so sweet!

Yana's breakfasts

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-T-59MotBq - From Monday I think.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-WXhvFlrGY - Tuesday's breakfast.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ZBT2rILDY - Wednesday's breakfast with bonus Sasha :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eXN_yIGKm - Thursday's breakfast.

Right better be off, dinner calls! Stay healthy all and see you next time.

Hello Plushy fans! :biggrin:

I'm sitting in the quarantine..I have time to watch Plushy. I found this video on his instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jlvNgK135/

This is great so many different levels...cute, awesome, funny and artistic.. ;)

anonymoose_au! I like your posts! :love:

Plushyfan! Good to see you here again :) and :thank: for the compliment regarding my posts, just keeping the Plushy posts going ;)

OMG that video is fabulous! Oh Plushy, you never cease to entertain!

https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/s...enefit-for-healthcare-workers-April-17-8pm-ET

Plushy will join the “Blades for the Brave” livestream at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PT on Friday, April 17, benefitting Americares COVID-19 response.

Oh wow, how exciting!! I hope I can watch - I'll have to check time zones, I think it might be 10am next Saturday for me, which roof be a great time for me!

Also it's great all these skaters are getting together for this, the USA has been hit so badly by COVID-19 it's scary!

In better news like many others Plushy is posting a lot more on Insta during this time and it is...EPIC.

The latest craze is this hashtag #fliptheswitchchallenge, needless to say the Family Plush are owning it!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hrIj4K6DJ - Sex Bomb switch is peak meme. Somehow I missed this until now! Silly me.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kMakxqXnz - Now this one I did see, OMG, hilarity ensues! Werk it, Plushy and Yana!

Plushy, Sasha and Yana are all into the challenge! :laugh2:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kFyHOIZ-Y - This is amazing...I have no words for the epicness!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rQD5lKoxM - The Family Plush werking the red Supreme outfits.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rSY6fo7 - The bathrobe boxing edition!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wHPkSDLn8 - Plushy and Sasha up the ante with the #fliptheswitchbyPlushenko hashtag. Now I have ice skates and a skipping rope, but weak ankles so I'll steer clear of this one! :laugh:

Just general silliness!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-udT06o5lS - I saw this just before coming here to post. It is fabulous and I love it. :biggrin:

Even in quarantine, Sasha and Plushy remain in training.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-oZzviKyfr - This reminds me that I need to start working out...

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r5hYqosfL - Speaking of work outs the Family Plush are lucky enough to have that indoor pool. Nice.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ueqwvqKzD - Quarantine sunset, I like this photo. :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r530eqkr6 - Sasha's splits, wow...nice flexibility right there!

Fun with Fifa

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-tn7LIoa_M - Sasha working out with a big exercise and Fifa.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xJD9MoihS - Yana and Fifa, apparently it's not just cats who go by the motto "If it fits, I sits."

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-tvii4nMmZ - Yana and one of the Family Plush's big dogs (they have five), this is Grey.

Yana's breakfast

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-oWhyXotsl - Man, I want crepes now.

Right, as you can see lots of things going on, even in lockdown. I'm still working on my jigsaw puzzles (I found a missing piece just now!), hope you're all keeping sane, fellow Plushy fans!

See you next time!

Yesssss! Can you imagine another skater who is brave to post such video? No.:biggrin: Javier Fernandez who follows Plushy (and Sasha) sent some smiles to the video...
But we know him he had a couple of funny and surprising acts over the years..I remind you with some videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNLv18qKMnI :rock: ( this video has been banned in my country due to music rights)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOK392LztxM Plush and Johnny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UClulQ0Uo7I&t=2m30s OMG! those women!! :rofl:

And many more...I couldn't find that video when he cut his hand with the blade..He wanted to copy Joubert's blackflip before the show in Slovakia...But he didn't disappont his fans, and the spectators he was ready to skate after the medical treatment in hospital..

Today https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1hAuHKlfp/ he is in peace with Fifa!! He adores the animals!

Ha ha Plushy is indeed one of a kind! :biggrin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNLv18qKMnI :rock: ( this video has been banned in my country due to music rights)

I remember this! Plushy's workout vid! Watching it again...I can't do any of that, my knees would die!


:laugh2: That dance is iconic! Makes me laugh every time.


OMG... Plush, you flirt! :laugh: I probably would have fainted if that happened to me!

And many more...I couldn't find that video when he cute his hand with the blade..He wanted to copy Joubert's blackflip before the show in Slovakia...But he didn't disappont his fans, and the spectators he was ready to skate after the medical treatment in hospital..

I remember that! Poor Plushy... The show went on though!

Today https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1hAuHKlfp/ he is in peace with Fifa!! He adores the animals!

Awww, I saw that, Fifa is so cute!

There's some of that in the King's Life video:

Thanks for the video LRK! I hadn't seen before, Kings on Ice looks so much fun - Plushy's injury aside, there was a quick photo of his hand at the end, ow!

Moving on, there's another challenge on Insta Plushy and Yana got right to it!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4oegZD852 - I can't even!! Plushy's faaaace. :laugh2:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-4DtupjNMk - Plushy was wondering what to do yesterday and decided on skateboarding. He's really quite good at it! Especially compared to 7 years ago - https://youtu.be/amp6kEUGxV4

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1XmQ9Fb7Pb- Plushy got Yana flowers! Awww, they're so pretty - I love roses.

Hello Fellow Plushy fans! Hope you're all well! I got my flu shot today, so my arm is a bit sore, but hey I'm protected! :)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-_7rQVDjT6 - Another challenge! I have no idea what this one even is, but :laugh2: at it! Check out Plushy's outfit!

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-2HkkaAbNE - Training with Coachshenko!

Sasha Stuff

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9BTM0AXuN - Week 4 of Quarantine and Sasha is trying out front flips on the spare bed. He's pretty good! Although my parents would never have let me get away with that! :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_Aetv6AiFV - Sasha's collection of those little plastic animal things, what a haul! Nice of him to put the aquatic ones in water :biggrin:

Yana's breakfast

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CMHXSI7PP - That's a lot of strawberries!

They are! Plushy and Sasha are so adorable together, father and son, coach and student. Anais on Insta posted this which sums it up well!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FFfhtIWAL

and what do you think who is that little boy on Irina's pic? https://www.instagram.com/p/B-micbdIrSH/ ;)

Ha ha I know it's Plushy, but the resemblance to Sasha there is wow!

Hope you're all well Fellow Plushy fans! I totally forgot about the Blades4theBrave stream which was on yesterday morning Aussie time. I was most bummed, but when I watched the replay (it was great! Gracie Gold and Jason Brown commentators of the future!) Plushy was nowhere to be seen! :eek: Yags showed up and I wondered if they somehow mixed them up (a journalist actually did this once, it was kind of hilarious), but there was that Instagram link. I can only assume Plushy messed up the time zones like me.

But! The Family Plush did another challenge and it is awesome!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IFvFKDkMe - They look like the World's coolest backup dancers! :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FindoI5y2 - Yana likes shoes ;) :laugh:

In other news I was looking in the Russian Men's FS thread and lariko over there was kind enough to translate an interview that was done in Russian with the three skaters who represented USA at Junior Worlds - who all happen to have Russian heritage. Among them is Maxim Naumov who I've never heard of, but OMG he's a Plushy fan and I'm here for it!

The post is here: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/s...gure-skating&p=2591927&viewfull=1#post2591927

Some choice excerpts...

Naumov: When he was young he watched figure skating all the time. And still watches everyone and learns from everyone...and Plushenko, he used to watch Plushenko skate non-stop. Jumps and consistency in each competition.

...

Plushenko… yeah. Plushenko. He always rooted for him, 2010 was hard for him with divided loyalties. When the Americain won without a quad, his free was shaky, but he still went for everything and rotated everything, proving himself. But it was just after the change of the system, and that GoE…yeah. On his last jump, the triple lutz, he flew out of it like that (mimics horizontally with his hand) it was impossible to save it, but he did and added a double toeloop to it too. He was overawed.

(lariko: At this point I can safely say that Naumov’s idol is Plushenko, he is all bright-eyed and excited)

Question to Naumov: Do you feel that the result was unfair?

Naumov: It was right, but it wasn’t right. He understands how the scoring worked, but he wanted it to be different. It’s politics.

Question to Naumov: Had he ever met Evan L or Plushenko?

Naumov: No, never, but he wished

After reading this I popped into Maxim's fanfest just to check him out and I like his style. There was some decidedly Plushy-like moves in his skating :biggrin: I'll have to keep an eye out for him in the future!

Today is Orthodox Christian Easter!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HeQHhI5jB - Yana's Easter breakfasts of the past. Yum!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_JH5Tdp3he - Sasha decorating Easter eggs.

Sasha stuff

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_HZPe5D3p5 - Training Sasha-style!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_C-aXFII5b - Apparently this is some sort of challenge too. Mother-son fashion show!

Right that's all for now, I want to get back to my jigsaw puzzle, this one is seriously hard, I still haven't finished and I've been working on it for 17 evenings now!

Keep healthy and see you next time!

I have seen some parts and pictures of this video but never the whole documentary from 2002! Vera uploaded it yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BzlSL7InLQ :love: He was so young ( he was peachy!) and cute. :luv17: I like to see the parts of his old programs.

OMG, I love stuff like that! And awww BB!Plushy! :biggrin: Although it makes me feel oooold that that was 18 years ago!

I assume that list is from most fave to least? Good choices :) I just watched Plushy's Vancouver 2010 FS. Still can't believe those jump landings, what a boss. I'm not sure even Yuzu or Javi could have saved them. :p

Then I watched the Torino FS, with Canadian commentary (I don't remember ever hearing it before) - which only reinforced my belief that Dick Button got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning, NBC's commentary was such a downer! You would never have thought you were watching the best skater in the world if you just wandered in.

Anywho! Hello fellow Plushy fans! I disappeared on you this week because I've been working hard on that jigsaw puzzle, it's evening 24 now. :laugh:

But the Family Plush have been busy despite quarantine.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xg6Y2IhsF - Plushy and Yana dancing :laugh2: at Plushy's outfit. I can't even :p

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Rxl2tjOKa - After seeing it on an ad for that reality show Yana did, I'm endlessly amused by Plushy randomly chopping wood. He sure is good at it! :laugh:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_USWsjjnZG - I honestly have no idea what challenge this is, but Plushy and Yana do a commendable job.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_ZS7Wyon5- - Sasha and Plushy with two of the big dogs.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Kf-e1KujO and https://www.instagram.com/p/B_MiKD4FajU - The Family Plush celebrating Orthodox Easter. Well, I'm hungry seeing this!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_UP7vEIivi - :laugh2: at Plushy lurking in the background there. Those buns do look delicious though!

Speaking of delicious - Yana's breakfasts!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_RmcAzojqC and https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ZSBLXIJwu

Right, I better be off, the jigsaw calls! See you next time, stay safe!
