  • Evgeni is a real win for the Gold Medal and in the No.1 position in Vancouver...

    Lysacek is not entitled to win the gold medal and even being in the top 3

    if all see Lysacek does not know how to play ice skating compared with Evgeni who have advanced in a very raw young age and won many Championships ice skating! Sochi 2014 gold medal is owned by Evgeni<3<3<3

  • no no no, the absolute winner was Plushenko by far

see all

  • ironic how Lysacek and Nastia Liukin are good friends and both won gold in their respective sports at their respective Olympics and everyone says neither of them deserved to win...

  • @flipperloco619 check it on Wikipedia: quadruple jump controversy

  • Majority of Plush's jumps (although landed) were not clean. They were tilted and over-rotated at times. He lost on technical merit--even with the quad in his program. Lysacek skated a clean program, and EARNED every bit of that Gold medal. Doesn't mean he's an overall better skater; it just means he skated better THAT DAY. Plushenko is still more accomplished and Lysacek has rightfully pointed that out.

  • Johnny landed ALL of his jumps, and was still put in 6th! Thats so sad how they treat him just becus he doesnt care about being more "masculine"

  • @FGDT84 It is sad to see figure skating attracting crowd with uncouth and partisan behaviour very much lilke football hooligans.

  • i dont understand why everyone is saying Lysacek didnt deserve to win the medal. he had the best OVERALL routine. just doing the quadrouple doesnt mean you are entitled to win. Lysacek maintained a great preformance throughout the program, and in my opinion rightfully won. sorry all you haters out there. you cant change whats happened. :)

  • Plushenko was cheated out of what was rightly his. Fucking Lysacek...

  • @oofahman "Europe and other anti-American countries" You do understand that you are an idiot.

  • i i i dont know what to say plushenko i am a russian kid but i live in america i love russia and ukraine i am so sad that i cant go there but you deserve to win 2014 olympics

  • plushenko is the best male figure skater forever!!
