LOOK how Yagudin, Morosov and Tarasova are sitting and watching on the boards! Seriously?

It's a good program ! Plushenko lost,but he performed very beautiful .

Not suprising Yagudin got higher marks from judges France, USA, and Canada. Yagudin was kinda surprise after all. I agree Evengi's Olympic program is more interesting than this. It is hard since he is the victim of his own success?

@thequadlegend The way this Gran Prix Final was developed, forcing the skaters to do 1 Short Program and 2 Long Programs over the course of 1 or 2 days is pretty demanding. It also threw a wrench into the results as some skaters who opted to just quickly threw a 2nd Long Program together without spending time and effort to develop good choreography end up losing, which was what happened here with Plushenko. Had Plushenko opted for to resurrect an older program that was properly choregraphed...

@thequadlegend Bloc judging.

Блестящий прокат Плющенко... Судьи кажется всех удивили... Как Ягудин мог оказаться на первом месте????

This program is wretched. I love how Dick tries to be polite and contain his dislike at first, saying "well, umm, it was kind of interesting", but then explodes with joy when the far superior Yagudin beat out this trash from Plushenko.

[SimonaCB]

@Zuranthium Wretched????? You are too nice, it´s the most AWFUL thing ever!!!!!!

The judges who gave him 5.9 for presentation were certainly drunk!

[thequadlegend]

@SimonaCB well, are you drunk? I looked at Yagudin's program, bored me to death....and his jumps are not perfect either, skating and jumping speed is not a match for Plushenko's. What is clear to me is Plushenko is a very passionate skater and very in sync with his music, his energy inspired so many people. He is extraordinary.

[SimonaCB]

@thequadlegend Then why did Plushenko lose the GPF? He was leading after SP and LP1 and Yagudin wasn´t in his best shape. Why do you think he changed the program before Olys? Because the program was bad, that´s why!

he is the best!!!
