Team Russia

Zheleznyakov sounds angry in the interview,  it sounds as if Eteri told him what to say here. Strange. And why drag Yuzu and Johnny into it? Unnecessary.

[rockstaryuzu]

Wow, this gets better and better

[river]

And Yuzu, yet again, gets dragged into unrelated drama. Great.

Er.. no, it’s a word salad in Russian too. I will give a literal translation thereof for everyone to see. 

— У меня уважение вызывают те тренеры, которые пашут и воспитывают учеников, а не плетут интрижки и переманивают спортсменов, не приемлю этих методов. Как я уже сказал, слово порядочность здесь не применимо от слова совсем. Мерзко это все. Там вот Джонни Вейр только что сказал, что продлевает карьеру в профессиональном фигурном катании. Что уж там, давайте все сразу станем ангелами на коньках. И Юдзуру, и Джонни, пусть всех забирает. Ну не получится в спорте, так сразу в шоу трудоустроят. (смеется)

I respect those coaches who work and train their pupil, not those who intrigue and lure athletes, I cannot stand those methods. As I said, the word “decency” isn’t applicable to this occasion at all. It’s all disgusting. Johnny Weir recently said that he’s continuing his career in professional figure skating. Ok, let’s all become skating angels (referring to Plushenko Angels). Yuzuru, Johnny, let him (Plushenko) take them all. If they (or he?) fail in sport, they will find a career in shows. 
 

Yuzuru a complete failure in sport? That takes the whole load of biscuits... as does his only hope for the future - to be taken on to Plushenko’s shows. 
I want to know what drugs he was on when he said all that. 

 

......why drag Yuzu into this? I guess that shows how important he is, his name is just included in word salads nowadays

Uhm...why randomly drag Yuzu into this? I guess that just shows how ubiquitous and important he is, his name is just included in word salads nowadays 

Yeah, one indispensable ingredient in FS word salads is Yuzuru Hanyu, it seems. We should start throwing a cookbook together. THIS is sure to be a huge success. 

[Sukigirl]

Wow. I didn’t expect all this when I opened PH after an absence.

 

And I was insulted by Mishin bc he moved to Canada

Still cannot get over them picking that for a 13 year old... hard to imagine a theme more unsuitable

What I understand (in English) is that if he doesn't manage to improve (or at least maintain, for Alexandra Trusova) his new pupils' level, he will be able to recruit them for shows (instead of making them win championships), and have also Yuzuru Hanyu and Johnny Weir in these shows.

Which I see as an angry way of showing little confidence in Plushenko School ability, no more. (Plus the initial reproach of "indecency" of course, quite expected.)

You try too hard to make sense of what is a really incomprehensible mash of words in the original.

I know absolutely nothing of this man. Do you think he drinks?

No idea. I know he thinks of himself as a great choreographer and regularly puts out Eteri girls dancing his choreography in the gym. That's it. 

[Sombreuil]

Sounds like too many supermassive egos in one club - hope there’s enough room in Plushys rink for them both......

But every skater has to skate to Je Suis Malade at least once? I thought it was mandatory?
