One text, not many "inclined" to Plushy ... but to see, what they have to say

http://news.sport-express.ru/online/ntext/30/nl300416.htmlby Elena Vaytsehovskya .... 8.5.2009.Importantly of program execution... Not very sensible statement of Russian men skating, activate the theme: "Here is back Plushenko ...". Let's, come back. Suppose, even with his quad, triple and double cascade jumps and all the other technical attributes. Personally, I would be interested to see the Olympic champion in Turin on the background of those, who shine in the men's skating now. The main reason for interest is the ability to Plushenko with his team to oppose the current leadership is something other than technique. After all, a great illusion to believe that since the time of Turin did not change even score, anything. Changed, and that strong. This is so particularly for a composing program and the choreography.
Revolutionary phenomenon in this regard, I would call a "Flamenco" of double world champion Stephan Lambiel, which is presented to the public in 2007. The paradox, because with this program he lost. Not managed (or not manage) to reconcile the brilliant presentation, with technical implementation of the elements. A little later was forced to complete a career because of injury. But the "level" was set: how courageous, complex and moving at the same time can be a modern man's skating, Lambiel demonstrated brilliantly.
Therefore is risk of re-entering "in same water." In Turin, Plushenko acted as the elusive leader, and to some extent sample. In Vancouver, if returned, he would be forced to overcome another's reference "level". But whether he is ready for this - it is not known. Therefore, even now, despite the statements of return to a more realistic alternative: Olympic champion will restore the physical and technical condition of four years ago to allow him a few more years of decent look at all sorts of shows, but travel to Vancouver refuse...
(Elena continuing with her "analysis" 
)http://community.livejournal.com/lambiel_ru/332839.htmlAbout "Lambiel references level", I wrote not in the sense that all is now must do so, than after that program - programs "run-jump" will not succeed. Need to think differently. And put the program differently. It is possible, despite the new rules, skating can be a perfect non-stereotype, and Lambiel that proven. Although it is a pity, that he was not able to bring this to the ideal. But even without that, you can see that many have already gone down this path. Such as, in their time (after 2002 Oly) also Mishin and Plushenko went on the road "Yagudin-Tarasova" (even they will never that admit). Yes, and they have not succeeded....
Artistry and good choreography, I think, can not go from the movements, which you learned choreographer and simply reproduce them on ice. Man is or "hear" music, or not. I have such feeling, that Plushenko hears rhythm first...
---------------------------------
I maybe this analysis and realized as a very "objective" (regardless of the "worship" of Lambiel's
and nonrespect of Mishin's
) ..... that she is not provided prognoses for Russian medals in Vancouver - therefore, she expected Gold in the Pairs!
P.S. ... definitely in Russia has two "clans": Mishin VS. Tarasova
This is the cat that bite his own tail.
