Mishin have talked about Mao's triple axel a few times before, and it's not surprising since it relies on timing and rotational speed - it's the ideal 3A for a girl to emulate, since we can all agree that a Midori-type 3A is far too difficult for women (and some men) to pull off.

How old is she?! She's freakin' good!

she was born in december 1996 so she's 13 years old.

Yes, she is 13. I've seen videos of her before and she has amazing jumps, but still has to control her nerves and to get better on her performances, because her spirals and spins are really weak.

Anyway, she is likely to be a very tough competitor to Mao in the future. Let's wait to see.

There is this rumor that Plushy is coaching Arthur Gachinski and Liza Tuktamysheva
Coach Plushy??? I like it.

OMG I LOVE LIZA!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's one of my favorites of the Russian prodigies!!!!!!!!!
With Plushy as a coach Liza would be unbeatable!

Any news on Plushy's situation? This article came up on google today:

I don't get it....how about Yuna's case for not competing in GPS but doing shows ??

Anyhow, Boo~ to ISU !

Politics, politics is the name of the game...

well no matter what I hope he isn't going to be banned forever, and I hope he wioll be able to compete in the 2014 olympics whee he and mao win gold...

but well I must admit I am quite confused is it sure that he is only banned for 1-2 years and if he makes an appeal and then fail does that mean he is banned for forever or then only for 2 years? so confusing

So Plush is going to be banned for a while then? How sad . Not just for him, but for the whole sport.

If this is true, then that's pretty harsh. The punishment doesn't fit the crime IMO. Although I really wonder why the heck he never took advantage of his chance to appeal before it was to late

Lord knows what's really going on here
However I am of the mind that the ISU has been trying to get Plush out of this sport for a long time and they jumped on this opportunity

oh, no...so sad...

Can anybody translate what's written here?
http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/72819071.html

I've heard that there's a message from Plush in it, which says ISU is reconsidering to give back his rights to compete again. I hope this is so...

Sry for abandoning the thread for a while
But today they said that Plushy was offered to coach japanese young skaters and declined because he wants to be in Sochi, but after that he is thinking about coaching international skaters

http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/73055298.html

About his eligibility, here http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/73055298.html he says he filled a complain for ISU to regain the amateur status next season. Let's hope Plushy can be back next season for us ♥

Yes Pochi, they say that ISU is considering giving him an extraordinary chance to regain the status because of his importance to the sport.

i sure hope they give him his eligibility back. i think he could do really well in Sochi.

The most members here will know this already, I think... but for the others: Plushenko will be allowed to skate in ISU events again after this season!!!

Guys, it looks like this is Evgeniy's new long program:

Looks very interesting, I like it

Cool! I'm glad he's coming back. Mens figure skating has been kind of flat this year, excluding the Japanese guys of course. He will spice things up, and give the other skaters a kick in the butt to step it up. lol

This program makes me happy! I love the circular footwork, especially the part where he grabbed his lower back in pain... Haha!

I hope we get to see it next season!

I love it!!! Especially Hava Nagila part

Wow, that actually might be my favourite program skated by Plushy.

At first I watched the clip with the music turned off (I was in a library ) and the program reminded me of Nobunari's Chaplin in 2 places (putting on an invisible had and the tired/relieved pose later).

"Plushenko seeks amateur status in Olympics bid"
http://www.kmov.com/sports/ap/119842379.html

Plush just got his amateur status restored, and said he hopes to compete in Sochi.

*groans* I just hope Plushenko isn't held up like he was during the Olympic season. If he does keep competing he better start putting in some real choreography and transitions (although I'll be seriously surprised if he does), otherwise he won't (or at least, he shouldn't) keep up with Patrick, the Japanese men (hopefully Dai will be healthier next season and Nobu will have learned how to count by then), and then there's also Jeremy, who despite of everything is still the U.S.'s #1 in my book, but he needs to pull himself together.

I don't think I'm in the majority, but I find Plushenko's PCS scores (especially his transitions, choreography, and skating skills marks) inflated in every competition under the COP he's ever entered. I just don't want to see any more more 7's for his transitions or 8's for his skating skills (or four 9's like he received in Vancouver ) unless he does what is necessary to deserve those marks.

LMAO yes hopefully Nobu will learn to count by then!

I think the thing that bothers me most about Plushes skating is that bob he does on all his landings... I don't think it really bothers the judges much, which is kind of weird, cause it just looks so ugly to me! There's really not a whole lot I can knock about his skating though. I don't really recall what his transitions are like, and I'm not even sure what exactly they judge on on skating skills.
