I think he is, actually, but as long as he takes care of the skaters he trains, I am ok with that. I mean, he won’t make those girls feel once they step off podiums, they are nothing, I hope. 

Yes, I get the impression that he's a caring kind of guy and I find it hard to picture him kicking his athletes while they're down.

To Plushenko’s credit, he only spoke ill of Tarakanova once, and when Nastya defended herself with courage and integrity, he didn’t choose to continue bickering with her. And she did get a new start with him, since she was about to stop then. 
But never expect him not to rise to the bait. He’s not the guy to remain silent. He also enjoys being blunt and rude at times. But he might learn yet.

Yes, but what I said is probably true anyway. 

Well, she better get used to CSKA. Likely she won't come back to Canada this year anyway.

Sadly, I fear that may prove correct. Hopefully not though.

Look on the bright side - she’s got ice , she’s talking to TCC, she has a coach there at the boards who is presumably included in the conversation re whatever can be done with this season.  Given the state of play worldwide that’s not a bad position to be in.

Oh dear god, I’ve just an article which claims Ilyinikh also left Tutberidze! 😂

Elena could be a good choice for Angels of Plushenko, she had great skating skills as an ice dancer who hopefully will be able to pass her knowledge to the next generations.

The Russian junior test skates start tomorrow, right? Will it be streamed? Shall we watch it? 
 

I am desperate to watch skating...

I saw some people jubilant because gathered would be streaming. But don’t ask me for links so far. 
Yes, I saw information that the First Channel will stream the event. But you will need VPN. Or someone to stream it from there. 
I will be travelling then, sorry. 

[Paskud]

okay, it will be streamed, ice dance first
