I know I'm super late, but what did Plushenko and Kovtun have a fight about? They said stuff about each other to the press?
Sochi, cause you know Russia did only have that 1 spot

Pluschenko was asked about "future of Russian men skaters" and he said back April 2014 that Kovtun is "a good, but not great"... or "mediocre" in other words; yet he praised Hanyu and called him "future of men's skating" and congratulated Menshov and Voronov for European medals.

Plus the issue with Plushy's Oly participation and supposedly taking Kovtun's spot. Plus in 2016 Pluschenko said that Kovtun is not progressing fast enough, etc.
Women like to change their bags or jewelry, but I decided that I can afford myself more expensive purchase - replacement of my knee joint.
The surgery went well, three weeks have passed and I’m driving and attending practices in my school, even if I’m not wearing skates yet.
According to a Facebook post by ice dance coach Ksenia Rumiantseva, her students Betina Popova/Sergei Mozgov have left her and switched to Anzhelika Krylova.
Okay. So Loboda and Drozd are still with her? Who will Krylova work with? Zhulin, Volkov?
I don't know what's going on with Loboda/Drozd. He is constantly posting photos from travelling on Instagram. I need to ask him if he is still skating!
As for Krylova, I don't think she is going to team up with Zhulin or Volkov or someone else. I believe I read that she wants to join Elena Tchaikovskaya's school. But I'm not sure.
I don't think that will happen, unfortunately. Maxim Kovtun is a talented skater, but I think he was not working hard enough consistently. To me it seemed like he was slacking off and then tried to catch up, overdid it, suffered an injury etc. And even when he landed his jumps once in a while his programs and his overall skating were not at the same level as of the top skaters. To me, Mikhail Kolyada and Dmitri Aliev have far more potential. But now they have secured a third spot at Worlds, maybe that inspires Maxim and the others. But none of these men are consistent in competition.
Am not quite sure what is the current scandal nor how the scandal or a lack of such makes the smaller rink an olympic sized rink
LOL. I'm just abdicating a Plushenko boycott, if the rumors are true (and sadly I think they are).
Did you see or what? or just do you think? I ask again do you know him? Do you know him as a person? Do you know him as a father? How many human reacts have you seen from him???? OMG! Shame on you!

The story sounds a bit off to me. So I really don't want to voice an opinion. I will say I was raised in a close loving family where for a joke not much was sacred. When any type of evil is so far out of the realm of reality some people do say things. I can picture now my mom saying" Stop it now. Do I have to get my stick" and we would laugh. My mother not only never touched any of us ...she never raised her voice to us. I have also read so many horrible episodes of other happenings where no one had a clue of what was going on. His wife does seem to have a fair amount of arrogance and this might be the time where it might be in her best interests to tone it down and straighten this out. There are people who's job it is to investigate situations and I am so glad that they are there as there is so much ugliness in the world. I will wait and see how it pans out.
Well I can't speak for his own moral character, but I don't like what I'm hearing about his wife.

Yes, disgusting..You think? Based on what? There are things like evidence. You don't go around throwing serious accusations based on what you think.

What are you arguing against? against a person's choice to not follow Plushenko's persona media info or not attend his events? Who cares what she does? let her.... Pluschenko will not lose out...Did you see or what? or just do you think? I ask again do you know him? Do you know him as a person? Do you know him as a father?

Tchaikovskaia has no ijs talent whatsoever. Worst coach In the world for ijs! Krylova did peak in 2012 but at least she excelled in ijs.
Isn’t that crown already given to Zhulin ?, are you recrowning that to Tchaikovskaya?Tchaikovskaia has no ijs talent whatsoever. Worst coach In the world for ijs! Krylova did peak in 2012 but at least she excelled in ijs.
Tchaikovskaia is the absolute worst. Gorshkova and buitikov prove it. Zhulin is horrendously untalented as well as he couldn’t fix any problems of b/s or s/k. Plus while being the most powerful coach in Russia Russia didn’t medal in ice dance for the first time ever for an entire quad.Isn’t that crown already given to Zhulin ?, are you recrowning that to Tchaikovskaya?
What do you think is Tchaikovskaia greatest accomplishment in ijs?If anything Tchaikovskaya can give Krylova some good advice and some creative direction with her teams. I just really hope that the Russian Fed doesn’t go all U.S. ladies with Krylova and pin her as the great hope of Russian Ice Dance.
What do you think is Tchaikovskaia greatest accomplishment in ijs?
Sorry to be pedantic but 'I'm just abdicating a boycott' makes no sense?
