there was alot of controversy ovre the scoring in the short program. Using the system correctly, by rights, Evgeni should have been 5 points ahead of Evan, NOT 1. What Evgeni was so angry about was that, after the short program scores, his home Federation didn’t even TRY to appeal the scoring. So, the marks were allowed to stand. Evan skated a cleaner, albeit far less inspiring program than the Russian in the free. But given the proper short program score, you kind of have to wonder.

While I think both had amazing performances and I love Plushenko’s skating more, I have to admit that he was wobbly on a lot of his landings. Yes, Evan did not have a quad and yes, they are pretty much the future of men’s figure skating. All in all, I think Plushenko deserved the gold but I don’t think Evan would have been far behind in terms of score. Also, keep in mind that Plushenko is 27 while Evan is only 24 and Plushenko hasn’t truly skated in 4 years. Evan also gets -50 for his costume.

@hyeeyez “easily kicked ass”? The only thing Evgeny really did well was the quad itself. And if you say that the US is hating Russia, then maybe you ought to rethink, who right now is hating who? The US never lashed out at Russia for this, it was Russia (particularly Vladimir Putin) with Evgeny himself who lashed out at the US first, so don’t say the US is the hater here.

@hyeeyez If you think Evan BARELY did triples, then I don’t think you were watching the correct video, he pulls triples like nothing. And just because Evgeny can do a quad in competition doesn’t instantaneously shoot him to first place, because he didn’t do the rest of his program very well.

@hyeeyez It’s true that they gave Evan a one point difference over Plushenko on purpose. The purpose being that he skated better. While Plushenko may have performed a quad, Evan had superior choreography and executed his jumps cleanly. Plushenko, on the other hand, lacked good choreography and was sloppy on most of his jumps.
When it comes down it, Evan had a good night, Plushenko was off his game.
But who knows? Perhaps that’ll be reversed in Sochi 2014.

@u229758 well i think ANYONE who has some sort of championship on he line will be a bit of a sore loser wen they lose. but wen he CLEARLY DID BETTER!! quads!! evan did triples BARELY! it was messy. i dunno i didn’t like it. and that ONE POINT DIFF is too fishy for it to be legit. they did it on purpose trusstt me. having both points of views shows it to u. living in America but growing up in a mainly Russian family. im on both sides.. but its true, America will suppress Russians wen they can
