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.
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.

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 Plushy looks like a penguin in his white and black outfit though.

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!

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 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.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B8no7Y9oBxq - Sasha hanging with the ladies 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!
Hope you're all well and are having a good weekend.
