Plushenko's insisting that he's more deserving of gold, since it was only him who did the quadruple jump, last Thursday night. He further said that it happens that "just doing nice transitions is not because, figure skating is a sport, not a show."
Shame on him! I wish he can hear himself and realize how he sounded like a sore loser. How can this man be an Olympian and world champion for almost two decades, when he's obviously missing the very important key that makes up every athlete, which is sportsmanship.
I'm sorry. But, I am not so pleased with this man. He talked so boastful, right from the very beginning. He considers his competitor as "enemies", when sports should be a healthy competition.
Just so he know what most sports analysts are saying, Plushenko should see the score sheet before giving reckless comments. Because, right now, the world sees him as a "bitter loser," who just can't accept his loss.
Gimme a break! And, he should give his self a break too! It's not because he lose this time, is that people look at him less of man, or of an athlete. But, if he continues talking unprofessionally, he's just creating a monster out of his ownself. It won't do him any good.
So, a piece of advice "don't look at what others did that made you lose, rather look back; see what you've missed along the way and learn from it!"
Yes, Plushenko had quadruple jump, and only him did it, and the judges gave him credit for that. But, his jumps were sketchy and so with a few of his landings. His choreography bored the audience and the judges. It's not all skill, but how one delivers it count as well.
I'm glad that not all athletes have the same way of thinking like Mr. Plushenko. For example Johnny Weir, he did good, the short program and his best on the finals, yet, we didn't see him bitter that he didn't made it in the podium.Rather he pacified his fan when his score was announced. Many felt he was under rated, yet he didn't look at it that way. He was all smile the whole night. He glided and slided at his best and everyone loves it.
Good job, Johnny, you made America proud of you!

Post a CommentI don't agree at all. he's right and is rightly indigned with that ridicilous reform of figure skating. for god's sake, we are talking of a sport, not of dance!!!
Unfortunately, Pleshenko has likely tainted his entire career and will simply be seen by history as one of figure skating's biggest sore losers.
Interestingly, the Sale/Pellitier debacle in judging may just have done what it was designed to do- not allow political or geographic influences to taint the scoring. The best overall performance won, not because the eastern bloc voted for Russia, but because Evan had the superior overall skate. Watch the film Evgeny- your jumps were twisted, tilted, sometimes poorly landed and what came in between certainly inferior to Lysacek. Thank you ISU for the judging changes.
Thank you Johnny Weir, for an impressive, beautiful skate.
