i love evan and he's a really great skater but does anyone else find his triple axel downright scary looking? it's impressive he can pull it off so often with that unusual technique
I didn't realize he won the Grand Prix for the first time in his career in 2009. His success here and at the World Championships a few months earlier did make the decision to skip the quad at the Olympics pretty much a no-brainer for him.
i've seen girls skate with more grace and use of body than that. and he doesn't do anything original exept wave his arms around like a bird and no original spins. do twists, nothing awesome about his skating exept his jumps. he doesn't have the whole package
@hshim80 So pretty mush u said that Plushenko is stronger than Lysacek. You are so Funny (responce to lol). He probably skates with girls to flirt (lol) and isn't gay (lol) omg wtf is with the lol xD omg omg omg!!!!!!! I take french btw...
@ToadyTune Because Judge's scoresheet even proves that Plushenko is stronger. Check at which part Lysacek gets points and deductions, NO Quad, deducted 3A-2T(-0.40), 3F-2T-2T(-0.56). 2 combos out of the total three get minus points. OMG. Then this means his program clean? His skating style is pretty much girly. The top 2 ladies have his difficult jumps:3A-2T and 3L-3T
@hshim80 he should have gotten an edge call on his flip on the short and long. they Bull shit plushenko and instead taking away points, they just give it to him.
evan lysacek is not gay. it's hearsay. some of the other male figure skaters he competes with are in truth, gay. but he is not gay and he ignores this piece of gossip because it is crap.

Плющенко-сильнейший на планете!!!!!Не спорьте!Лайсачек тоже хорошо откатал,НО! Евгений был лучше.Программа и прыжки сложнее.Его засудили.Евгений Россия с тобой!Мы тебя любим!!!!
@eirelav215 short program = 8 required elements focused on the technical side of things, i think it was added sometime around the time Janet Lynn was skating to help skaters who were more athletic vs. artistic - in the long program or free skate, there are some requirements like step sequences and the number of spins and combos but the skater within the context of the rules are free to add or leave out elements as they wish
@ToadyTune how is he a sore loser when he has done more than lysacek who skates like a girl and can't even connect to the audience. so overall, lysacek got support to win, plushenko didn't since he hasn't competed in 3 years. and if you were a high leveled skater, you'd know that. but you aint
Such a graceful man.....just wonderful. Beautiful Jumps...the emotion he puts into each performance is amazing. The way he skates is just....beautiful. I am so glad I got to see him skate his gold medal show. :)
Плющенко-сильнейший на планете!!!!!Не спорьте!Лайсачек тоже хорошо откатал,НО! Евгений был лучше.Программа и прыжки сложнее.Его засудили.Евгений Россия с тобой!Мы тебя любим!!!!
Евгений - показал что в нем - несмотря на его прыгучесть - очень много говна. Хотя это было и так ясно. Гламурная Рублевская тусовка - из таких состоит. И когда из него потекло - то он забрызгал всех и о себе создал то впечатление которого заслуживает. Опозорился на всесь мир.
Americans can't admit that it is a robbery, of course. It is very simple, you are a man and a champion when you do the quad, anything else is just like the woman.
Why would you even consider making this comment about is sexual preference. It makes no sense to me at all. Would it matter if he had dogs for companion animals rather than cats?
Art on ice? I think Plush is brilliant technically, but the artistic part of his performances is really not his strongest point. Compared to other great Russians like Ilia Kulik and Alexei Yagudin and even compared to Evan's artistic side Plushenko is a jumping machine.
Sorry,but that's my opinion. he really is a brilliant skater but his programs are pain to watch,I can't bring myself to watch any of it for a second time
@FroMDreamS I´m with you. I think that "Program components! note at the olympics were outrageous. Yagudin and Kulik were much better in the artistic part than Plushenko. Kulik had the grace of a ballet dancer (without looking gay!), Yagudin was....Yagudin simply the master, he invented footwork....nowadays Takahashi and Lambiel are far far far more brilliant. But Plushenko still is one of the best , hands down! And Lysacek is the master of ISU scoring system
I'll be the first to admit I didn't know much about Evan heading into the competition but the way he handled himself with such class should make the USA proud. Holding the Gold medal is an honor and he is more than deserving. Even when Plushenko said the things he did Lysacek only said the best things about his competitors. People can say anything they want about the quad but you can't argue this man put his best on the ice that day. Thanks Evan for the way you represented the USA!
I think that it's passed time that people should stop respecting PUSSenko and give him the same attitude that he gives everyone. He doesn't deserve respect, he's already arrogant enough and apparently that carries off onto his STUPID fans.
What a great athlete! His coordination to the music is flawless and it shows so much emotion and drama in his skating. You're a pleasure to watch, Lysacek!
all you people saying this looks weird or gay shows how retarded you are. this is human perfection. all your minds are dirty.. too dirty to function and appreciate something like this. gay men are obvious and nasty. if you take it up the ass then it would be hard to hide it with this sport.
ps: for the ladies and children that might read this... (excuse my french) hehehe
This man does everything to the absolute best of his ability, and is an inspiration to individuals in every field. As a musician, I am most struck by the fact that he must practice not until it's perfect, but until it can be nothing but perfect. Wow: what a role model!
Wow the music and even the program is so similar to Yuna Kim's Scheherazad from last season....he even starts the program with double triples just like Yuna
my god hes gorgeous. and i agree about the transition scores with indiatree. Lysacek is more daring, and frankly, id rather see him attempt something more interesting and go into the jump with a little sloppiness regarding his edges than not try at all. gobels - i think being robotic is the least of his worries. i agree with the comments about his arms, however its nothing a few weeks with a competent ballet teacher couldnt fix- he just needs to learn how to use his back in conjunction
Also, I read about Skate Canada, which is unfortunate, and I oppose their (alleged) homophobia. However, your comments about Lysacek being "robotic" sound like a direct quote from Weir, according to a NY Times article, as well as your paraphrase about how being "macho" only belongs in rugby and football. Homophobia? There is such a thing as a masculine gay man, you know, like there are feminine straight men. Weir could be one of the latter for all we may ever know. Who can prove otherwise?
@MrAmazingness1234567 thanks, but so far, Weir has not admitted or confirmed any thing. While it seems obvious (just watching him and listening to him talk), his is still not "openly gay". As far as Lycasek goes, having a celebrity athlete for a girlfriend doesn't mean anything. But I really don't care about either of their sex lives- AT ALL. Sorry to bring it up- I just wanted to point out that assumptions can be offensive, often wrong, and have NOTHING to do with figure skating.
I agree that i dont care what gender they like its just..... weir makes men's figure skating look unpleasent: he is a great skater, but there are less guy skaters because of people like him who make it look weird
That being said-the best on the day should win-and Evan was the best overall. Well deserved win. Scary as hell take-off on those axels though-I don't know he makes the landings. His arm movements seem busy but they're long and then. I saw plenty of arm waving in Jeremy's routine, as well as some of the others. Evan is lanky so it's more pronounced on him. I like his costume-whatever the snake means-maybe the King is a Snake for murdering his wives, or a phallic symbol?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I never realized just how bigotted and homophobic the power brokers in the figure skating world were! Have you heard they hope this robotic douche is going to make figure skating more masculine? Lmao! If you want to be macho go play football or Rugby.
@goebels99 I have NO idea what you're talking about. I never realized how macho it was slide your hand over your eyes slowly, or how manly that cute little wave at the end was. Robotic or not, I thought he was graceful and very handsome, and that comment had as much logic as if you said that gay men are incapable of playing rugby or football. Assumed stereotypes about gender don't determine athletic abilities whether it's skating or rugby. If they DO, then THAT would be homophobic!
@goebels99 Before I wrote the last comment I was well aware that Mark Lund, an OUT GAY man, made some remarks against Johnny Weir in favor of Lysacek. But that doesn't make him homophobic. Not even "internalized". I think it is unfortunate that there those who have issues with feminine, like the recent "androphilia" trends. But in reality, not all gay men are feminine. I took your advice but I've found little online about what you're talking about. So I'd appreciate any links you can provide.
I am very fearful of his takeoffs. The flip is almost done on an outside edge, and the Lutz takeoff edge really isn't deep enough. He could get hit very hard in Vancouver with deductions. Also, he rotates on the ice alot on his triple Axel takeoffs. But the judges seem to like him.
some very ugly positions throughout the program. He's lucky he has this so-called 'presence' on the ice, cause thats all thats keeping him from being mediocre.
iukkk osea k pasa con los jueces patina de el asco el tipo parece k tiene la caveza pegada con el coxis no tiene nada de artistico es mucho mejor johnny weir
This was AMAZING! That one mistake he made did not take away from the skate. IMO this could beat Plushenko. His lines curves and movements are phenomenal! And I agree, great costume change
His line is great, spins good - v much like Robin Cousins.
I like him a lot but Sheherazade? HOW many times has this music been used in figure skating?! Just strikes me as at best an uninspired choice at worst, lazy. And again, the costume is the same, uninspiring.
His SP this year is great and his FS last year was perfect for him (Gershwin, dinner suit, v Gene Kelly on ice).
By no mean unbeatable at the Olympics if anyone else can skate two clean programs.
This isn't too bad, though not my favorite skate. I agree he doesn't always use his height to his advantage. He has improved over the years, but I like his short program of this skating season better than his long program.
I'm really surprised to see that some dislike the lines his height creates. I must say it's one of the reasons his my fav male skater competing today, and I think one of the reasons his winning competitions recently. It makes everything he does look just a little bit cleaner and smoother than his competitors.
His long limbs present a nice line on the ice and the program is better than Plushenko's IMHO. I wish he would lighten up out there and stop those awkward facial grimaces, though. Is he re-enacting Sheherazade's difficult life or something?
Judges seem to be making a red carpet to the Olympic podium for Lysacek.
The new costume is much better, and he knows sometimes what to do with his face. But the components - why so much higher than for Plushenko? - they both deserve something around 78 - IMHO.
Well, I don't know about all of the component scores, but Lysacek's transitions scores should be much higher than Plushenko. Plushenko does the 1st four of his jumping passings with nothing between them but crossovers. He might do footwork into one later jump, but that's it. That Plushenko gets in the 7s for transitions...THAT is the biggest joke of the season. At least Lysacek does spirals, spread eagles, and reverse rotation turns into his jump takeoffs.
As time passes and I see these scores I agree more and more with Joubert when he said that quad should be given more points because that's how the sport will keep improving. I like Lycasec but I don't agree with this judging system
Go EVAN!! he's thinking about competeing in Nationals.

This was AMAZING! That one mistake he made did not take away from the skate. IMO this could beat Plushenko. His lines curves and movements are phenomenal! And I agree, great costume change

His line is great, spins good - v much like Robin Cousins.
I like him a lot but Sheherazade? HOW many times has this music been used in figure skating?! Just strikes me as at best an uninspired choice at worst, lazy. And again, the costume is the same, uninspiring.
His SP this year is great and his FS last year was perfect for him (Gershwin, dinner suit, v Gene Kelly on ice).
By no mean unbeatable at the Olympics if anyone else can skate two clean programs.

This isn't too bad, though not my favorite skate. I agree he doesn't always use his height to his advantage. He has improved over the years, but I like his short program of this skating season better than his long program.

His frantic and uncontrolled body movements make me cringe. His PCS is the biggest joke of the season.

I feel the same. It's obvious he trains very hard, but there's no elegance to his skating.

Great performance! But the costume...:P
I'm really surprised to see that some dislike the lines his height creates. I must say it's one of the reasons his my fav male skater competing today, and I think one of the reasons his winning competitions recently. It makes everything he does look just a little bit cleaner and smoother than his competitors.

His long limbs present a nice line on the ice and the program is better than Plushenko's IMHO. I wish he would lighten up out there and stop those awkward facial grimaces, though. Is he re-enacting Sheherazade's difficult life or something?

Smart idea to lose the feathers from his hands, they used to exaggerate his flailing.

He seems to have no feel for the music at all. He has consistent jumps except for his triple axel, but the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

i'm so happy to see these comments! super inflated score and no one seems to know what it's based on. even frank seemed shocked.

He hasn't a great artistical expression, but he often wins because he is a great competitor. I don't like his style very much.

Not a fan of Lysacek.
Great skater and good performance, certainly not his fault for being tall, but just don't like his arm flailing, style, and artistry.

Judges seem to be making a red carpet to the Olympic podium for Lysacek.
The new costume is much better, and he knows sometimes what to do with his face. But the components - why so much higher than for Plushenko? - they both deserve something around 78 - IMHO.

Well, I don't know about all of the component scores, but Lysacek's transitions scores should be much higher than Plushenko. Plushenko does the 1st four of his jumping passings with nothing between them but crossovers. He might do footwork into one later jump, but that's it. That Plushenko gets in the 7s for transitions...THAT is the biggest joke of the season. At least Lysacek does spirals, spread eagles, and reverse rotation turns into his jump takeoffs.

As time passes and I see these scores I agree more and more with Joubert when he said that quad should be given more points because that's how the sport will keep improving. I like Lycasec but I don't agree with this judging system
pocahontas070707 2 years ago
lol, such a score without a quad a second 3A. Judges just do everything possible to ruin this sport and take it off from the olympia.
PS: I understand, with such aliens components it isn't necessary to jump at all.
