As many of you know, Evgeni Plushenko is still one of the most incredible entertainers of the global ice and his presence delights audiences from all over the world. His new performances with his son are very well received by the public and the super nice things about their skating toghether is the extreme tenderness and objective hard work that they are doing in order to make Alexader a true champion. Some of you may know that when Evgeni was a young boy, he had - from time to time - to perform at Gala Ex. His Coach, Alexei Nicholaevich Mishin, followed his moves from very close until he owned the athletic element also at galas! And this is exactly the reason why he has always been so solid in jumping during in his career, making it always look like a piece of cake! Evgeni Plushenko is now training his son, Sasha at his school, Angels of Plushenko (@angelsofplushenko on Instagram). The double jump the little one performed in Rome last month was an accomplishment obtained the same way Zhenya's coach did with his father: by watching him close until he made it! That moment was pure gold for long time fans of the incredible skater that is Evgeni Plushenko.
