Plushenko's routine bored me to death. Front stacking his jumps and then just cruising around the ice for the back half reminded me of someone at a Jr High Skate Night. Totally boring. I don't believe he deserved gold at all. If all you have to do is one (wobbly) quad to get gold, then why have an entire routine? Just go out, do the quad, stand there and wave, and maybe kick a triple on your way off the ice.
You have to program the entire performance. I'm completely happy that than Lysacek won gold, and honestly, I thought it was totally douchey of Plushenko to hop on the gold platform and make it about him. You didn't skate well enough to win. Show respect, Comrade Ass.
