An absolutely superb jumper & impressive footwork - but that's about it. I was never very impressed with either Yagudin or Plushenko as performers - they we're simply jumping machines with little connections between them. Also, like nearly every skater from any of the old Soviet Union countries, he just can't spin. Compare his musicality, spins & artistry to that of John Curry (the master) or Scott Hamilton. They drew you in. Curry's technique on almost everything was textbook & he was artistry

@TinaR39 agreed...best performance ever
-
toOO beautiful!

@mackman211 the commentator who said that stuff is actually scott hamilton.
-
If he skated under new system,he can put so many transition.There is no mean to compeare programs under different systems.
But I do say I can feel so much artistry from this program.
I can understand from this program to put many transitions do not always mean artistry.
-
this jumps are great but his transitions arent there. I like the figure skating now for its artistry, not just the jumping. his spins were fast but there was no creativity. then again, it was the old system....

plushenko and yagudin are defs better than lysaceck
My God, I watch this and wonder why we've wasted so much time debating Lysacek vs, Plushenko. Neither long program even comes close to this. It is surely the "gold standard".

@kivawolfspeaker Takahashi doesn't even come close to Yagudin. Not even remotely close. There comes a time when you have to put aside your personal prejudices and acknowledge GREATNESS. Yagudin's elegance, skill, power and beauty are astonishing and PERFECTION. He skates with his soul and is loved all over the world. Walk into any ice rink ANYWHERE in the world, say Alexei Yagudin, and they'll know he's the best. There is NO ONE like him. He is simply the best skater EVER.
