I think the article mentioned that the two programs are in working for the Olys. That may give him some time to get into competitive shapel
I think Evgeny P should forget about the next Olympics. His sit spins are crummy and others are so much better now. He should be happy with one Olympic gold medal. I would like to see a different person win one every 4 years. It's selfish to go back and take that spot away from a competitor who works so hard for 4 years and ends up not going to the Olympics.
the idea that people should win the OGM and then move on is ridiculous. If the person is competitive why should they move out of the way and allow someone else to win? Especially if that someone else cannot beat the current champ? If the competitior is working so hard for 4 years, they should work that much harder to beat the best person and not be satisifed that the best will simply retire after they win one gold medal.

Totally agree! There is nothing unfair or selfish. It's absolutely fair to have a competition and the best wins. The idea of Plushenko would win no matter what he could do is just some people's idea. There is no fact yet to support it. I, for one, don't think he could be as glory as he was two years ago if he comes back.
I agree. I don't think the Russian federation would automatically give Plushenko the win if he didn't deserve it. They do have a talented young skater named Voronov.
How did Russia earn 13 points in Gotenborg for an extra skater in 2008? I can understand Voronov but who else would add up to 13?
Thank you Medusa. I knew that but the brain is lacking these days.:yes:If you have just one skater and that one places in the Top Ten - country gets 2 spots next year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Figure_Skating_Championships#Qualifying
Hmm, I didn't see a Triple Axel in that video? Just a double.
But I did see two Triple Toes and a Triple Lutz.
The Lutz was just a double.
Ant
No, that was a Triple Lutz. I promise.
As for being a deserving winner or not, I agree that whoever skates the best competition should win, regardless of what they did between Torino and Vancouver. Hopefully the judging will be fair and the standard of competition will be high. The one thing I'd rather not see is another Torino-like men's event.
