He was amazing in 2001 exactly as he is now in 2012!! Plushy was great even without "transitions", a thousand times better than Chan with all his transitions but sooo boring, no personality at all! Plushy is a genius and a legend of figure skating
This is ALWAYS Plushenko for me. So when I hear people talk about his lack of artistic expression, I always think of this. It's there...and potential for me too. But I think that this was his peak.

I'm sorry, great jumper, powerful skater, but his programs look all the same to me. And he can only move one thing at a time, either the arms or the legs. There's no way this could have beaten Yag if he hadn't done so many mistakes due to the injury.
@Porporinablu "If" - it doesn't make much sense in sports. Plushenko made no mistakes. He beat Jagudin in all race in 2001. I love Plu far better, than Jagudin. This is matter of taste. And Jagudin retired in 2002, but Plushenko will compete in next season! I love Plushenko!!!
@Porporinablu Plushenko was a dancer-performer in the ice, more elegant and expressive. He had more flexibilite, like a ballet dancer (spiralls, biellman) He dance on the ice (nijinsky=ballet, tango, modern, etc) He has expression with all his body, he transmit more emotions. He wins in 2001 because he was the best. He deserved gold medal. This year he ´s european champion (he has a great problem whith his knee) When you compete, feeling is more important than pain.
What a performance! One of his best programs, stylish and sophisticated, incredible technical moves, and such energy: superb! Can't wait to see him back to competitions...
look how much joy skating gives him! he loves what his doing and that's why he could ever get so brilliant. the others are good, but he is just perfect!
The best thing about seeing this video is that, 9 years later and after retirement, he's still the best!!! Too bad Vancouver couldn't recognize it this time...
Is wondeful waching him in his earlys years! So powerful performance!!! Go Zenia for another Olympic medal. You are the best!!!
