Oh I hate Canada

.... sorry friends from Canada - we actually just dont like behavior of "some" Canadians (and generally, some people from FS world)

------------------

And for example, what this means? We were surprised that KB even gave a compliment to Plushy? We are a "mob" to which should to repeat the same one platitudes? ... anyway - do not pay attetntion to them anymore

Jeffrey Buttle @J_Butt:

@KurtBrowning also I think his fans are confused that you were paying @EvgeniPlushenko a big compliment. His jumping is awesome!

Well, as a Kurt's twitter reader myself, I enjoyed his umbrella tricks at MWO very much and
I was about to praise his performance at 46 yrs old. But I just couldn't agree with his comment.
I know in many shows Evgeni, Kurt and Jeff skate together, I imagine they talk when they meet
and they understand each other's techniques as top skaters.What I was afraid was readers' reactions,
some were saying things like "OK Plushenko has just jumps" without making sure what he jumped
(2 quads and a 3A, 3Lz2t2lo etc) and what were failed. Maybe Kurt is so tired to tweet long
messages, but since he has many readers, I'd appreciate a bit more details and accuracy.

On Evgeni's presentation, he has got seventy-five 6.0s in old scoreing system, 70 of them FOR
PRESENTATION according to wikipedia.That's the best score of mankind maybe? It means he was
very successful with skating on different theme and music, performing in different styles,
classical to modern.

If you look at JO's protocol, here are some data:

Skating skill: Takahashi 9.11 Evgeni 8.75 Jeff 8.71 Chan 8.61
Stsq: Takahashi 5.6, Chan 5.5, Evgeni 5.3, Jeff 5.3 (means both are 3rd)
Chsq: Jeff 3.6, Takahashi 3.4, Evgeni 3.3, Chan 3.2
Note that the differences are so small, so I think we can add 'Evgeni's jumps are totally amazing and his
skating skills are top notch".
It looks like Kurt had no intension to report, but I think choice of Swan theme is a good idea. People
remind of Russian classical ballet and it's a good chance to show Evgeni's performing skills.
I hope the program will be more improved if he keeps to skate this FS.

I don't think it's a false alarm.
He said: Buttle is perfect combination of technical and magic skating.
Jumps are "technical".
It's another way to say: plush is technique. Buttle is technique+art (magic skating).
I know Buttle is canadian. But in his position, he must pay attention about what he write and effects his words may have.
We have to understand that american/canadian propaganda against Plush before Sochi is beginning??
Anyway Kurt lost my respect not because he said his opinion. Everyone is free. But because first it'n not true that plush is only jumps and I'm really tired to listen this thing. Than he could say: I like this "canadian" (strange) skater and stop. No one asked him anything about plush.
Im very angry!

This way, he showed his disrespect for Evgeni.
Canadian media is the worst one towards Evgeni. Last 15 years I had to listen all their crap, and the worst comments come from Wilson, Peltier, Stoiko each of them put some crappy comments about Evgeni during past 15 years. They never shut up. One day my sister wrote BIG letter to cbc and asked them to be careful what they say, because she never watch youtube or internet, and canadian Tv made her sick from bad comments towards Russian skaters. So, here she is wrote the letter to cbc manager! After that it become much better, but still bad.

Ари Закарян: Плющенко прыгнул в Японии два четверных, и для него это – самое важное на данном этапе подготовки
http://www.team-russia2014.ru/article/figur/5433.html

translation

Ari Zakarian: Plushenko jumped in Japan two quads, and that is the most important thing at this stage of training

Is Zhenya pleased with his performance in this tournament?
- Evgeni scored 156.21 in Japan and showed the fourth result. Four, of course, is a little strange figure for him. But we must remember that this is his first appearance in this season and take into account the tasks Zhenya had.

- And what was the most important for him?
- To do two quads in the program is the most important thing at this phase of preparation. He coped with the task! Since 2005 Plushenko did not go beyond one quad. And today in the free program he jumped two quadruple toe loops and an amazing triple axel. However, by the end of the program it was clear that Zhenya was very tired, moved with effort and slowly. He "missed" a couple of times, and now, as you know, the elements in the second part of the program are important, valued more. I think that long-distance flight and acclimatization problems made influence on this. He should have flown a day earlier in order not to perform on the third day, the so-called «acclimatization pit». But this is just the beginning of the season. Naturally, the program will be polished, trained as a whole. Once again, we needed to speak in public, to see, to compare his skating to strong Japanese skaters.

- What conclusions did you come to after this event?
- We can hardly call the Japan Open the real competitions. Both amateurs and professionals take part in it. Athletes skate only one – free - program. So, to a large extent, this is a show. It should be noted that for Evgeni it was just the second start of the season, including a performance at the test skating in Odintsovo. A lot of Japanese skaters practiced and spoke in the summer, by now almost everyone already had 30 skates. All of them do two quads. In Japan figure skating is taken very seriously, interest to the sport is simply unbelievable. However, after his performance Daisuke Takahashi took the ice and asked not to close his ice rink, give him possibility to skate, because otherwise he will have nowhere to train. After the Japan Open it became clear that our task for the future – to do more skates of the whole program with all the elements. Still, this performance for Zhenya was rather a kind of training, considering the priorities - the preparation for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.

- What are the next scheduled competitions for Plushenko?
- Before the Russian Nationals he will participate in two more events, but what exactly - not determined yet. And in Japan the appearance of Plushenko on ice caused a great interest. The tribunes were filled even in trainings. Those who understand figure skating know how difficult to return to the sport at the age of 30, and moreover to include new difficult elements to the program. All with one voice were saying that Plushenko did great job. And it's not just words. Evgeni could do one quad in the program, not taking risks, but he went to the maximum. Never before Plushenko was ready so great before season start. It is possible because his knee problems don’t bother him so much. He actually is happy that he performed in Japan. Everything is going according to plan. The main goal of Evgeni Plushenko, as he said many times, is decent performance at the Olympic Games in Sochi. And now all the preparations are being built with an eye on this competition.
