Photo credit:Matthew Stockman/Getty Images E Can I tag a self-absorbed crybaby sore loser or what? Evgeni Plushenko is complaining again. This time because he did not win a gold medal. He feels because he can do a quad jump in competition, he is on a superior astral plane above skaters who do not. It also seems the other five skaters who do a quad, along with Yahoo sports writer and former Olympian Elvis Stojke …….. read his article: "The night they killed figure skating”.……… do also.
Skaters like Stojke ……. who did the QUAD too and never won Olympic gold ….. and Plushenko are what is killing their sport by refusing to see that figure skating is more than being a "ONE TRICK PONY". The judging is not totally based on technical difficulty. It also has to do with artistry. Before he saw the scores, Mr. Plushenko assumed he was out “artisted” … okay I made-up that word …. It was actually the technical merit that did him in. It does not take a former Olympian to tell me what I saw was PLUSHENKO’S ROUTINE WAS NOTHING BUT A SLOPPY MESS!!! After landing his Quad he took for granted he had it in the bag. Barley landing the simple jumps he was too busy blowing kisses and giving cutesy pouty looks to the audience. HOW ARROGANT! He obviously believes a Quad is all you need to win. Whoa Mr. Plushenko, what about the rest of the program … give us one hoof stomp for "you forgot" .... or two for "I am Legend"!
Bottom line, you have to wrangle all the doggies to compete in the Olympics. Tonight Plushenko only roped some. In my opinion, after Plushenko started to pony express it in after his ONE BIG TRICK, he was lucky he earned(?) a silver. He probably received silver from just being who he is "A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND"! (ie, Visit Stojke "offical" web site. He believes he is a living legend too!)
DEAR MR(s) STOJKO & PLUSHENKO,
Apparently you do not know your own sport is more than being a "ONE TRICK PONY". According to you two show horses everyone who did not have a QUAD in their routine should have went home. Too bad for YOU they stuck around. Apparently, Evan Lysacek can do something you could not that evening ….. skate a more flawless performance at an Olympics. Giddy-up!
