Let's make things clear! Americans dislike Plushenko because he is Russian, it has nothing to do with his skating or what he said about Lysacek. Check the comments posted on Plushenko´s videos before Vancouver and you´ll understand what I mean.
They "tolerated" him before because there was nobody who could beat him, especially North American skaters. (cont)
Because Plushenko jumped quad, but Lysacek not jump quad. I don't think quad is all, but I think Plushenko is fascinating, and past time Lysacek was fascinating too. But at Vancouver, I saw several times Lysacek's competition, I can't feel from his skating.
After Olympic, I'm very anger, 'cause Lysacek side sent many mails to many judgement people. And next, I searched Lysacek, Plushenko, Weir about internet.
Many people wrote, "Lysacek skating is perfect. Plushenko's step is dirty and Plushenko's jump landing is dirty too."
But Elvis Stojko said "I prefer Plushenko. And at least Weir is better than Patrick Chan." If Lysacek side didn't send many mails, maybe he don't beating. But his side sent mails....
Evgeny doesnt have the best quad. Who does then. The Chinese skaters are retired by then. Also Evan has the best anything either. What the hell exactly. Obviously not the quad which he doesnt even do, sure as heck not that joke he calls a triple axel, not the other jumps, not spins where Lambiel and Oda and some others are better, not footwork which is ditto the spins comment, sure as heck not ar tistry where many others are better than him too. So what makes him the best, nothing.
@russianskatingfan Maybe the "RUSSIAN" in your russianskatingfan username just might suggest a little, tiny bit of prejudice? LMFAO - Lysacek skated so far beyond Plushenko they shouldn't even have been rated on the same scale. Not to mention Plushenko's little temper tantrum show of unsportsmanlike conduct???
One of the funniest whatthebuck shows ever! It gets me EVERY time! You're so right, Evgeny Plushenko has turned into an asshole, I love love love Johnny Wier though!
Lysacek is quite graceful for a male skater, I hope he continues his career. Both he and Takahashi seem to understand the premise of the sport.
1:37 I agree here. I use to find Plushenko entertaining, but his attitude and his fans (the comments) have ruined his image for me, I can not watch his videos without feeling disappointment.
Perhaps they could change the sport to 'skating jumping'; this would satisfy many I suppose?
Plushenko was ARROGANT. He didn't train as much as he should've; he paid the price. Finally, the way he behaved during the medal ceremony and afterwards - he was a disgrace. My mom's family is Ukrainian. All of the Ukrainian and Russian families we know were disgusted by his behavior. He came across as a spoiled sore loser. If he felt he'd been cheated he should've had the maturity and class to keep it to himself during the ceremony. Later he could have spoken with the proper people privately.
@lala630312 = And I will say it again - ARROGANCE. Plushenko wasn't stupid. He knew very well how the ISU's system worked when it came to scoring. i.e. receiving points for having jumps at the end of the programs, some spins and combinations being worth more than others. Any fool knows - when you enter a competition like that - you tailor the program to what the judges are looking for / all of the aspects of the program that will earn you the most points. Plushenko didn't do that. Lysacek did.
@LiliaLayla I say again, that's your opinion. Many people thought otherwise. If you looked at the Wikipedia's page you could see how many FS experts agreed with Plu, outside of North -Am. Evans 3A LP was underrotated but judges haven't want to see it, and Lysacek deserves Flip edge deduction !!!! Europeans and Asians analysts saw it, but no one biased judge, of cause. Laysa didn't do so clean LP as your media present it. Evan did mistakes-which are not visible to non-specialists!!!!
@lala630312 = It's the same reason Stojko has been crying for years. In 94 he knew very well that the judges preferred more classical programs i.e. as far as music, costumes, the artistry, the package as a whole. He chose to go out in his karate costume and skate a performance to - I think it was the soundtrack from some Bruce Lee movie. Urmanov on the other hand - gave the judges exactly what they were looking for - classicism, artistry, he used everything he knew to his advantage and he won.
Lysacek may not have thrown a quad, but all of his jumps / combinations were done cleanly. Also - Plushenko loaded his program somewhat - practically all of his jumps / combinations were done in the first half. You know when a skater does that - when they don't have the stamina to make it through a long program - to be able to pull off those jumps at the end. That's what made the difference - Evan skated cleanly and his artistry was good. Those two factors combined with Plushenko's mistakes.
Plushenko lost that gold medal in Vancouver for one reason - his ARROGANCE. He honestly believed that all he had to do was go in there, throw his quad, and he would walk away with the gold - that the judges would just hand it to him. Which might have happened - if he had actually skated the rest of his program cleanly - which he DID NOT. His landings on some of his other jumps were not clean - in so far as they were either short or his form wasn't clean coming out of them.
I was going "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The whole time you were talking Buck. I get so tired of a point system that encourages you to participate in so many technically difficult aspects and to reject any artistic aspects. A skate routine is not a trick show it is an artistic display. It is a dance on ice. I hate that it has moved more toward rigid and lifeless tricks for points and lost that beauty and grace that came with the old system of judging.
After that interview I lost so much respect for Elvis Stoijko. As a kid growing up in Canada, I idolized Elvis. That article made me so upset. Skating has come SO far since the new judging system!
You, sir, know nothing. Please don't presume to understand figure skating better than the skaters themselves. Your comment about Evgeni Plushenko only serves to highlight your ignorance.
Anyone who thinks Plushenko will be THE legend of figure skating in a sport that includes Alexei Yagudin (in particular) is dreaming. It's ridiculous that 5 years later Plushenko fans are still ridiculing Evan every chance they get.
@dulceparamour21 Do you know how many gold medals Plushenko has, do you know that he's the only living skater with 3 olympic medals in men's competition ?????? Welcome to Planet Earth!
@dulceparamour21 E. Plushenko:1time Junior WCH 14 y.o, 8 time Russian Ch, 6 time Euro Ch, 3 time World CH, 1 time Olympic Ch, 2 time Olympic silver medalist, 4 time GPF gold medalist, other gold medals of GP, other medals of Euro, and World Ch, he was 15 years old when he was 2. in senior ECH and 3. in WCH.
He landed cca 100 quad in competitions, he was the first who landed in 4+3+3 combo, and 4-3-2 combo. etc.

Buckley is using Evan´s name and his achievement in order to attack Plushenko. I doubt he really cares about Evan or appreciates his work. Let´s suppose Buck is mad because Plushenko criticized Evan´s victory, but if you watch other videos you´´ll see how he also attacks Domnina & Shabalin, two skaters who dispayed a very classy behaviour and praised OGM Virtue&Moir. It´s absolutely clear that Buck hates Plushenko and his report is a ridiculous bias.
@jkoruty lysacek was good, very good actually. but for me, plushenko was the real champion, that's mine personal opinion, and i guess, opinion of many other people all around the world, so there must be something about it. there must be something wrong with you:
1. you are dangerously fanaticly proud to be american/
@redshark618 i know damn good how difficult figure skating training is, cuz i do it myself, and i absolutely agree with you. he really deserved to win. but plushenko is a legend. he was olympic, world, european and russian champion and there's a reason why is so. and there's no need for him to be judged by goddamn stupid american. i sometimes have feeling that americans are only jealus of him.
Wow.. all you motherfuckers need to stop HATING! Do you people realize how difficult skating is? Do you realize how vigorous and intense the training is?? Give Evan a break... he trained like hell and performed incredibly, he absolutely deserved the medal he won. If any of you are skaters and would like to disagree, then please.
@21lots Men FS is not ice-dance competition. Therefore, "jump" should be the decisive factor in the single event. It always had been until the so controversial the last Oly. USA must not deny that much more ppl are not agreed with this outcome: it's a sport and his fans want to see the athletism first. If you want to see artistic move with not so powerful and difficult jumps, you can watch the women's, they are already doing that very well. You can also watch the ice-show, not the sport.
Michael Buckley- I had to stop this video @ 36 sec. You give the most pathetic, horrid, and irritating form of criticism. Bucknews should fire you, for the obvious lack of facts and reliability you provide. You must secretely wish to be Evgeni Plushenko (or at least you envy his undeniable talent)... I would most definitely enjoy hearing this report from Plushenko himself (even if it were in Russian, I'm sure it would be far more pleasant to my ears).
Host is a annoying fuck. No wonder his channel is blocked. And you can say: "Haters gonna hate" ... :) But you are the first youtuber, that deserves a nagative comment from me.
If people would think this way, men and women skating shouldn’t be judged separately, I bet with this logic women would win all championships, and this guy sais that people like Plushenko raised not to skate properly, seriously wtf is wrong with you four eyes?
GET OVER IT YOU SORE LOOSERS!!!!!! IF THE MEDAL HAD BEEN FOR TALKING GARBAGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO BACK IT UP IN THE END, GUIMMO WOULD HAVE WON IN A LANDSLIDE. BUT THE CONTEST WAS FIGURE SKATING. SORRY. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. PERHAPS IF HE CONCENTRATES MORE ON THE MOVES OF HIS WHOLE BODY INSTEAD OF JUST HIS TONGUE, HE MAY HAVE A SHOT, GARBAGE SPITTING FUCK. IF I WAS RUSSIAN ON THAT DAY, NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN. EMBARRASING.
@jkoruty I'm not russian, but i know Plushenko was the Olympic champion in Vancouver. You can shout, but the people's opinion won't change. You are so pitiful.. as your champion...
@jkoruty OMG! NO, NO, NO! I LOVE USA! BUT I DON'T LOVE EVAN'S SKATING! (isn't graceful, neither athlete nor artistry, )MANY PEOPLE LOVE PLUSHENKO AND HIS SKATING! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
We admire Phelps, athletes:Lewis, Warinor,Tyson Gay, basketball players, they are the best, etc. But we don't accept this result, because Evan isn't Oly Champ level skater.He won with junior level program. But if you want to think that we hate Americans, do it. But the people knows the truth all over the world.
WELL, I DO NOT UNDERVALUE PLUSHENKO'S HISTORY, BUT HE JUST WAS NOT AS GOOD ON THIS DAY AS EVAN, AND I SERIOUSLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SOME COULD POSSIBLY SEE HIM AS THE WINNER OF THIS COMPETITION ON THE GROUNDS OF JUST A JUMP, AS EVERYTHING ELSE HE DID WAS WEAK,
@jkoruty Men FS is not ice-dance competition. Therefore, "Jump" should be the decisive factor in the single event. It always had been until the so controversial in Vanc . USA must not deny that much more people are not agreed with this outcome: it is a sport and his fans want to see the athletism first.

Ok, it is not as if Evan didn't jump. He did. Did he jump as high as Plushenko. maybe not, but still jumped. The difference, I thought, was that while not jumping quite as high as Plushenko (although, as I said, still jumping), his overall persormance was cleaner, smoother. Jesus! There was a time Plushenko jumped and went side ways. Good recovery, I give him that, but an overall not too clean a routine. For the life of me I am simply unable to see what the fuss is all about.
@jkoruty You are wrong. Evan wasn't flawless. Plushenko's jumps were landed-neither two-foot nor underrotation but Evan did mistakes-which are not visible to non-specialists. Only the judges didn't want to see them, but Asian and European experts saw them. The european experts told their opinion on European TV chanels for example in France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy etc.
@jkoruty Plushenko's total jump GOEs surpass Lysacek by 0.3 point. Lysacek got two combo deductions 3A-2T(-0.56), 3F-2T-2T(-0.40), while Plushenko got one triple axel deduction(-0.36), which means Lysacek's jumps were poorer. Evan's win with one level higher spin and one level higher footwork against Plushenko's quad-triple twice is not very convincing. And finally if you are an american-russian, you be proud of Plushenko.He is a great guy, great athlete, and very special person.
@jkoruty But it was so outrageous how after the short program the judges gave both of them the same score so Evan could have a chance at beating Plushenko. Plushenko's short program was so much superior to Lycacek's. But you can read on Wikipedia, what happened before and after Oly. Finally ISU changed the rules, under the new rules Plushenko would have won.
Sorry, I am just not conviced Plushenko did better than Evan here, as much as I have watched this over and over. Much like the judges, I am just not buying it. So bring me any of these so called experts from any country who claim to have seen it differently and I am still just going to send them out to get their eyes examined. And as for everyone else here, just get over it. Evan won, and the decision is not going to be overturned just to satisfy some disgruntled fans,
From NY Times ( /2010/02/20/sports/olympics/20¬longman.html) : Lysacek received only a judges warning for a wrong-edged takeoff on his triple flip, not a 2- or 3-point deduction that would have changed the outcome, which was narrowly decided in his favor by 257.67 points to 256.36. Lysa's first 3A was prerotated 1/4 but got unfairly +0.6 GOE
Plushenko isn´t the only skater who suddenly "lost" his artistry before facing a North American skater, read the comments posted on Daisuke Takahashi´s videos last season. Did you know that Daisuke is "only a jumper and he lacks artistry" ???? Does it sound familiar to you?
Let's make things clear! Americans dislike Plushenko because he is Russian, it has nothing to do with his skating or what he said about Lysacek. Check the comments posted on Plushenko´s videos before Vancouver and you´ll understand what I mean.
They "tolerated" him before because there was nobody who could beat him, especially North American skaters. (cont)
I think this is fantastic...this comment might raise a shit storm and I couldn't care less. Evan Lysacek is the best male skater, he has perfect transitions and he is a true artist. Evgeni jumps. Period. End of discussion, yes he will be remembered for that quad, but Evan deserved that medal. Evgeni had a piss poor attitude about the whole thing.
@LivexLongxProsper Ha-ha-ha! Lysacek olympic champion only for the americans, rest of the world Evgeni is the real Oly champion! Period. Is Evgeni only jumper? Ha-ha-ha! Evgeni is the King of ice,is a legend, who is the most decorated champion. Do you like Evan? Do it! But i'm always angry, when the Americans repeat the false things, wherewith the U.S. media have been feeding them.
@dorca000 Figure skating is an art form, not just jumps. I have seen Evgeni spin...it's nothing special. Did you watch his long program? his jumps were shaky and his spins were really slow. His time in the limelight is up, he just thinks after retiring for two years, thinking he could come back and win the gold, he needed a reality check. I don't understand why he couldn't be happy for Evan.
@LivexLongxProsper Yes, figure skating is an art form, this is the reason why i love Plushenko, not Evan. Plushenko doing the magic on ice, Evan is a good student. The judges wanted that north-american to win. And finally, at the age of 16, Plushenko was the youngest male skater to ever receive a perfect score of 6.0. He received a total of seventy five 6.0s. He is artistry, my american friend.
@dorca000 his style changed in 2010, after retiring for 3.5 years. In Turin he was beyond any shadow of a doubt, deserving of the medal, but his style changed.
Only Amricans think Evan won and not the rest of the world? Did not know that the rest of the world was Russian. You mean only Russians saw Guimmo win, cause no one else with an ounce of knowledge and respect for figure stating did.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
plushenko is an asshole. the most obnoxious skater ever. i don't even like evan, but he deserved it. he was clearly the best. plushenko can stop whining and GROW UP ALREADY.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@lala636012 My goodness you are a persistent little ass aren't you? You must learn that Evgeni is as attractive as a horses testicle which if you haven't noticed makes his presentation seem that much uglier. Now I am not going to that his marks weren't higher but he did not look the slightest bit attractive to most normal people out there.
And by the way I did spell his name right because I know how to spell unlike some inconsiderate people here *cough cough* you *cough cough*
@lala630312 First of all learn how to spell his last name. Lysacek. Second everything Michael has said was true he had ugly jumps and ugly spins. He is not pitiful in anyway he deserved to win. I have followed him since the beginning and can proudly say I am one of his biggest fans. If anything Evgeni is pitiful sure he landed a quad big friggin woop he didn't have the presentation Evan has or the beautiful positions. Next time you try to beat me back up your argument asshole.
@idiotsfromfiji My darling! First of all learn how to spell his first name. EVGENI. (You would have learned his name since 1998, because he is at the top!!) Second you don't know the facts. Lookat the the scores, please. EVGENI's jumps overall were better. Third Evgeni's presentation marks were higher. Evan's win with one level higher spin and one level higher footwork against Plushenko's quad-triple is not very convincing.
The technical difficulty of a quad is an evolving factor of the game. Sure Lysacek deserved the gold for his flawless performance I agree with that. But you can not deny the fact that history will always put an asterisk beside his gold medal in the record.
@thegreendestiny Quad is the gold medal standard for 20 last years. The point remains, and always will, that Lysacek performed a program based on the standards of 1988. Today, such a program can be performed equally well by any number of juniors, whereas a quad in combo can be executed only by a very select few skaters--the true champions.
@thegreendestiny Evan wasn't flawless. Evans 3A in LP was underrotated but judges havent want to see it. All Europeans and Asians analysts saw it, but no one biased judge, of cause. He didnt do so clean LP as your media present it. Lysacek received only a judges warning for a wrong-edged takeoff on his triple flip, not a 2- or 3-point deduction that would have changed the outcome, which was narrowly decided in his favor by 257.67 points to 256.36.
um, you may think whatever you want about the plushenko vs. the heir of slytherin thing, but don't call Irina Slutskaya a bad skater! let alone one of the worst!
she was very good. yes, she wasn't a pretty little thing skating to cutesey music. but hey, that's her style.
and as tu Hughes: SHE WAS WORSE back then! in the new system she wouldn't have placed!
all her landings were a little off and there was a lot missing from her spins!
quality over quantity is why evan won, im so happy he won and evgeni lost
evgeni had bad landings and was off axis in 3 jumps
people say evan won because hes more complete, thats bullshit becuase they got the same presentation score, evan did the jumps better, a strong message to the skating world, we will NOT accept crappy jumps, even if they are quads
look at the scoresheet and look at the jumps side by side and you will see evan was underscored and evgeni overscored
Well & funnily said, except that Irina is a great skater. Evan was undoubtedly the best, but Johnny's performace was the most enjoyable for me. I think he was better than Patrick Chan.
"you don't have the best anything..." ??? I don't think anybody will remember who is Evan Lysacek in a few years (sorry) but Evgeni Plushenko will be remembered as one of the greatest ice skaters if not THE best of all time
Sorry, but Guimmo got served, and this guy is abosolutely right. If anything, Evgeni will be remembered for having to eat all the garbage he spoke before the competition. Ouch!
Don't get me wrong. I adore Plushenco. But the point is you win some, you lose some. If you pout too long when you lose, you look uncool. Don't you think?
@thefnsk. The US media attacked him BEFORE Oly, he was under pressure in Vancouver. I know the whole story. After Oly Evgeni had "army of defenders". They were his fans, european FS experts, old skaters, newspaper articles, journalist, commentators,ect. And Plushenko won the war.( unfortunately not the gold). ISU changed the rules, under the new rules Plushenko would have won and the mens skating would not have its worst winner ever.
i want to say to this piece of total shit- stay away from Slutskaya. what the fuck u think u did in your life- even to open your trap. And i'm not a homophobe -happened to be gay myself. i think the best what we can do to this .....it....-just to ignore posted videos and do not give ..it... a gift of attention!!!! Because U are an "ATTENTION WHORE". have a nice day.
@thefnsk Plushenko is a great person. There is no wrong in his attitud. Evgeni recieved so many adoration, but he remained an absolute normal person. He is always sincere, he always says what he thinks. Plushenko inspires the other skaters. Lambiel,Weir really loves him. The great japanese skaters admire and respect him, we can see this in last summer. Plushenko had cca 40 show in Japan. He recieved many gifts, he transported by ship to Russia. What do you think, he can fool so many people?
You are ugly! You are ugly! You are ugly and your voice and ugly! you are so dem ugly that is not even funny! You are ugly adn stupid and you are definitely american becouse you are ugly and stupid and also you have no manners!
Evan did skate very nice and deserved to win. But i love evgeni and always have. I love his jumps and his spins as well as his footwork. Ive been skating for 12 years and know exactly what hes doing. This was the worst ive ever seen him skate and since he did not compete for 3 years I am very happy and impressed that he got the silver medal.
Lysacek is better then Plushenko??? lmfaooo i swear i couldnt stop laughin wen u said dah! iighhtt listen u homo shit dickk..Plushenko is deff dah best skater of all time..Lysacek will never get tuh his level u "little bitch"...Plushenko had a seriouss injuryy b4 dah olympics and he still went out there and did his best with his back still hurting...so stop talking shit bc YOU and everyone else who thinks Lysacek deserved 1 place...inside ur selves you know that Plushenko is still the best!
I never seen an Olympic exhibition without an encore. Vanc Olympic was brutal and annoying (for figure skating). No encores for both female and male gold medalists.... What do you think that means? I'm not saying that he wasnt a good fig. Skater... Im sure he deserves to be a medalist but not necessary a gold. He's components were similar to female silver medalist from olympics. That's all. But I know it is very difficult to do your best at such a big game so congratulations to him for bringing
Wow this guy is so annoying and can't stop yapping. Plushenko is much better and too bad Russian fenderation doesn't support him when he's being unfairly treated.
I find it amazing that all the Plushenko fans who continue to cry about his less than gold winning performance don't mention the fact that he is now banned, indefinitely from any ISU competition, including the next Olympics, because of his continual disregard of the rules set out by the ISU.
OMG, @dorca000, and @iluvplushenko, get a life you stupid cunts! You have nothing better to do than troll youtube all day long whining about that ridiculous Commie called Plushenko. Try getting a job, instead of stalking videos and attacking everyone with your pro-plushy bullshit.
The Olympics were nearly a year ago, bitches. Maybe your panties are still in a bunch because you've been sitting on your asses for eleven months bitching and whining and commenting on every video possible. Go get your granny panties out of a knot, shut the fuck up, and get the fuck over it. Lysacek won, Plushenko did not. End of fucking story.
And BTW, for someone who's won multiple Olympic medals, you'd think Plushenko would have enough money for a nose job and a decent haircut. Just sayin'.
@marvelatthemaster Yes Plu has enough money, but he isn't stupid. His wife is one of the most beautiful, and rich woman in Russia. Plu get many love message,believe me,you can see in his website. Why he need to run on plastic surgeon? And i think, S. Hamilton, J. Buttle, J. Abbott, T. Goebel are uglier than Plu. He had hairstyle in Vancouver. I know, many fans ask for him, he don't cut off his hair. LOL!!! I think, Phelps is ugly as hell, but who cares?
@dorca000 Yeah, because we're taught that you have to be great at many different things, and not just excelling at one aspect of a sport is not good enough. Thanks for the compliment :)
Plush knew the rules the same as Evan. He chose not to skate to the point code & it cost him the gold and a chance for us to witness the evil Dick Button being knocked off the pedestal as the last back2back Oly Champ. If Plus had come back to the sport 6 wks earlier, he'd have straightened up that jump and won the gold. Strange how Plush didn't think the guy (Tim Goebel) who did 3 quads in 2002 should've won the gold or even silver over him - but his one quad should win every competition.
@rebekah457 I don't know well Goebel,i don't remember, but i read somewhere he won the bronze medal, because of the quads. He wasn't elegant and artistry skater. But i don't argue with you, i think Plu was better, Plu is the great sportman, he is awesome person, and i'm in love with him!!!
Olympic medals aren't supposed to be handed to the most popular person. If that were the case, Michelle Kwan would've won at least one of them. I never said people didn't love Plushenko. I never said people the world over know Lysachek. I said that Plushenko displayed poor sportsmanship. I didn't say he was an evil jerk. He could be the greatest humanitarian on the planet - but that day he was a poor sportsman and a poor loser. He joins Nancy Kerrigan and Surya Bonaly in the poor losers club.
@rebekah457 The Oly gold medal went to the weaker skater. This is the problem, because the rules were bad. In the whole world many people think Plu was better. The people were outraged, as Plu. Plushenko is a really sportsman. He just didn't want to lose, if he was better.
It isn't just Americans who think that the right person won the gold medal. It also isn't just Americans who think that Plushenko was a poor sportsman. I didn't think Evan could win because the reigning Olympic champ usually repeats. Mr. Buckley is spot on about Plush's crooked jumps and lack of transitions - which no one can dispute since Plush himself admits it. Elvis will also support someone who can jump a quad winning gold even if they just stood still the other 4:20.

Lysacek is quite graceful for a male skater, I hope he continues his career. Both he and Takahashi seem to understand the premise of the sport.
1:37 I agree here. I use to find Plushenko entertaining, but his attitude and his fans (the comments) have ruined his image for me, I can not watch his videos without feeling disappointment.
Perhaps they could change the sport to 'skating jumping'; this would satisfy many I suppose?

Plushenko was ARROGANT. He didn't train as much as he should've; he paid the price. Finally, the way he behaved during the medal ceremony and afterwards - he was a disgrace. My mom's family is Ukrainian. All of the Ukrainian and Russian families we know were disgusted by his behavior. He came across as a spoiled sore loser. If he felt he'd been cheated he should've had the maturity and class to keep it to himself during the ceremony. Later he could have spoken with the proper people privately.

@LiliaLayla This is your opinion. Check it on Wikipedia:
"Quadruple jumps controversy"
lala630312 3 months ago
@lala630312 = And I will say it again - ARROGANCE. Plushenko wasn't stupid. He knew very well how the ISU's system worked when it came to scoring. i.e. receiving points for having jumps at the end of the programs, some spins and combinations being worth more than others. Any fool knows - when you enter a competition like that - you tailor the program to what the judges are looking for / all of the aspects of the program that will earn you the most points. Plushenko didn't do that. Lysacek did.
LiliaLayla 3 months ago
@LiliaLayla I say again, that's your opinion. Many people thought otherwise. If you looked at the Wikipedia's page you could see how many FS experts agreed with Plu, outside of North -Am. Evans 3A LP was underrotated but judges haven't want to see it, and Lysacek deserves Flip edge deduction !!!! Europeans and Asians analysts saw it, but no one biased judge, of cause. Laysa didn't do so clean LP as your media present it. Evan did mistakes-which are not visible to non-specialists!!!!

@lala630312 = It's the same reason Stojko has been crying for years. In 94 he knew very well that the judges preferred more classical programs i.e. as far as music, costumes, the artistry, the package as a whole. He chose to go out in his karate costume and skate a performance to - I think it was the soundtrack from some Bruce Lee movie. Urmanov on the other hand - gave the judges exactly what they were looking for - classicism, artistry, he used everything he knew to his advantage and he won.
LiliaLayla 3 months ago
Lysacek may not have thrown a quad, but all of his jumps / combinations were done cleanly. Also - Plushenko loaded his program somewhat - practically all of his jumps / combinations were done in the first half. You know when a skater does that - when they don't have the stamina to make it through a long program - to be able to pull off those jumps at the end. That's what made the difference - Evan skated cleanly and his artistry was good. Those two factors combined with Plushenko's mistakes.
LiliaLayla 3 months ago
Plushenko lost that gold medal in Vancouver for one reason - his ARROGANCE. He honestly believed that all he had to do was go in there, throw his quad, and he would walk away with the gold - that the judges would just hand it to him. Which might have happened - if he had actually skated the rest of his program cleanly - which he DID NOT. His landings on some of his other jumps were not clean - in so far as they were either short or his form wasn't clean coming out of them.
LiliaLayla 3 months ago
I was going "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The whole time you were talking Buck. I get so tired of a point system that encourages you to participate in so many technically difficult aspects and to reject any artistic aspects. A skate routine is not a trick show it is an artistic display. It is a dance on ice. I hate that it has moved more toward rigid and lifeless tricks for points and lost that beauty and grace that came with the old system of judging.

It´s absolutely clear that Buck hates Plushenko and his report is a ridiculous bias.

Ok, it is not as if Evan didn't jump. He did. Did he jump as high as Plushenko. maybe not, but still jumped. The difference, I thought, was that while not jumping quite as high as Plushenko (although, as I said, still jumping), his overall persormance was cleaner, smoother. Jesus! There was a time Plushenko jumped and went side ways. Good recovery, I give him that, but an overall not too clean a routine. For the life of me I am simply unable to see what the fuss is all about.
jkoruty 6 months ago
@jkoruty You are wrong. Evan wasn't flawless. Plushenko's jumps were landed-neither two-foot nor underrotation but Evan did mistakes-which are not visible to non-specialists. Only the judges didn't want to see them, but Asian and European experts saw them. The european experts told their opinion on European TV chanels for example in France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy etc.
lala630312 6 months ago
@jkoruty Plushenko's total jump GOEs surpass Lysacek by 0.3 point. Lysacek got two combo deductions 3A-2T(-0.56), 3F-2T-2T(-0.40), while Plushenko got one triple axel deduction(-0.36), which means Lysacek's jumps were poorer. Evan's win with one level higher spin and one level higher footwork against Plushenko's quad-triple twice is not very convincing. And finally if you are an american-russian, you be proud of Plushenko.He is a great guy, great athlete, and very special person.
lala630312 6 months ago
@jkoruty But it was so outrageous how after the short program the judges gave both of them the same score so Evan could have a chance at beating Plushenko. Plushenko's short program was so much superior to Lycacek's. But you can read on Wikipedia, what happened before and after Oly. Finally ISU changed the rules, under the new rules Plushenko would have won.

From NY Times ( /2010/02/20/sports/olympics/20¬longman.html) : Lysacek received only a judges warning for a wrong-edged takeoff on his triple flip, not a 2- or 3-point deduction that would have changed the outcome, which was narrowly decided in his favor by 257.67 points to 256.36. Lysa's first 3A was prerotated 1/4 but got unfairly +0.6 GOE

@dorca000 Figure skating is an art form, not just jumps. I have seen Evgeni spin...it's nothing special. Did you watch his long program? his jumps were shaky and his spins were really slow.

I don't understand why he couldn't be happy for Evan.

No quad, no glory! That's an unwritten rule.
The technical difficulty of a quad is an evolving factor of the game. Sure Lysacek deserved the gold for his flawless performance I agree with that. But you can not deny the fact that history will always put an asterisk beside his gold medal in the record.
thegreendestiny 9 months ago
@thegreendestiny Quad is the gold medal standard for 20 last years. The point remains, and always will, that Lysacek performed a program based on the standards of 1988. Today, such a program can be performed equally well by any number of juniors, whereas a quad in combo can be executed only by a very select few skaters--the true champions.

Evan did skate very nice and deserved to win. But i love evgeni and always have. I love his jumps and his spins as well as his footwork. Ive been skating for 12 years and know exactly what hes doing. This was the worst ive ever seen him skate and since he did not compete for 3 years I am very happy and impressed that he got the silver medal.

I never seen an Olympic exhibition without an encore. Vanc Olympic was brutal and annoying (for figure skating). No encores for both female and male gold medalists.... What do you think that means? I'm not saying that he wasnt a good fig. Skater... Im sure he deserves to be a medalist but not necessary a gold. He's components were similar to female silver medalist from olympics. That's all. But I know it is very difficult to do your best at such a big game so congratulations to him for bringing

I find it amazing that all the Plushenko fans who continue to cry about his less than gold winning performance don't mention the fact that he is now banned, indefinitely from any ISU competition, including the next Olympics, because of his continual disregard of the rules set out by the ISU.

The Olympics were nearly a year ago, bitches. Maybe your panties are still in a bunch because you've been sitting on your asses for eleven months bitching and whining and commenting on every video possible. Go get your granny panties out of a knot, shut the fuck up, and get the fuck over it. Lysacek won, Plushenko did not. End of fucking story.
And BTW, for someone who's won multiple Olympic medals, you'd think Plushenko would have enough money for a nose job and a decent haircut. Just sayin'.
marvelatthemaster 1 year ago 4
@marvelatthemaster Yes Plu has enough money, but he isn't stupid. His wife is one of the most beautiful, and rich woman in Russia. Plu get many love message,believe me,you can see in his website. Why he need to run on plastic surgeon? And i think, S. Hamilton, J. Buttle, J. Abbott, T. Goebel are uglier than Plu. He had hairstyle in Vancouver. I know, many fans ask for him, he don't cut off his hair. LOL!!! I think, Phelps is ugly as hell, but who cares?

@dorca000 Yeah, because we're taught that you have to be great at many different things, and not just excelling at one aspect of a sport is not good enough. Thanks for the compliment :)

Plush knew the rules the same as Evan. He chose not to skate to the point code & it cost him the gold and a chance for us to witness the evil Dick Button being knocked off the pedestal as the last back2back Oly Champ. If Plus had come back to the sport 6 wks earlier, he'd have straightened up that jump and won the gold. Strange how Plush didn't think the guy (Tim Goebel) who did 3 quads in 2002 should've won the gold or even silver over him - but his one quad should win every competition.
rebekah457 1 year ago 2
@rebekah457 I don't know well Goebel,i don't remember, but i read somewhere he won the bronze medal, because of the quads. He wasn't elegant and artistry skater. But i don't argue with you, i think Plu was better, Plu is the great sportman, he is awesome person, and i'm in love with him!!!

Olympic medals aren't supposed to be handed to the most popular person. If that were the case, Michelle Kwan would've won at least one of them. I never said people didn't love Plushenko. I never said people the world over know Lysachek. I said that Plushenko displayed poor sportsmanship. I didn't say he was an evil jerk. He could be the greatest humanitarian on the planet - but that day he was a poor sportsman and a poor loser. He joins Nancy Kerrigan and Surya Bonaly in the poor losers club.
rebekah457 1 year ago
@rebekah457 The Oly gold medal went to the weaker skater. This is the problem, because the rules were bad. In the whole world many people think Plu was better. The people were outraged, as Plu. Plushenko is a really sportsman. He just didn't want to lose, if he was better.

It isn't just Americans who think that the right person won the gold medal. It also isn't just Americans who think that Plushenko was a poor sportsman. I didn't think Evan could win because the reigning Olympic champ usually repeats. Mr. Buckley is spot on about Plush's crooked jumps and lack of transitions - which no one can dispute since Plush himself admits it. Elvis will also support someone who can jump a quad winning gold even if they just stood still the other 4:20.
