[Moxie]

Say, can anyone post a screencap of the podium? I can't get the feed to work.

Brian looks virtually petrified on the podium poor guy

I thought Brezina should have been 3rd

Did Steph cry on the podium?

I think for Brian was just too much to skate just before plushenko. he had some difficulty also during warm up.
plushenko was in easier position, but...lambiel came out with this simply amazing program!!!! it was a beautiful competition!!!

I think that is a swiss Olympics specialty...

Lambiel is so enjoyable to wacth. What a great artist

[so_proud]

I am so happy for Lambiel. Great program and excellent performance.

I think Joubert should have received higher PCS than Plushenko. (Or, Plushenko should have received lower PCS than Joubert).

life684 well done

Oh what a night of men's skating. I think the most thrilling thing about Lambiel's free was i just had not expected such a great skate from him.

Happy for Plushenko even, its just any guy that comes back after all that time and can still stand on top , he is quite remarkable for that.

Joubert looked disappointed , maybe he wanted it too much.

Congratulations to Plushenko!!! Didn't think that Lambiel could pull off a good enough LP. Congratulations to Lambiel!!! He is truly like a prince. Felt a little heart breaking for Joubert. But at least he is still on the podium. Still these big three! unbelievable!

Did Steph cry on the podium?

Not this time. He is happy and smiling.

I can agree with that and his athleticism is remarkable, but I still hope someone else wins the Olympics who has never won it before and who has skated more in this Olympic cycle than just one season. It only comes around every 4 years, so a skater who has put in more competition and training time this quad should win I believe.

Awwww. But he's so cute when he cries!

[Ximena]

Plush was so happy and I love that he and Lambiel hug at the medal ceremony, it's been so difficult for both of them to come back and look at them 1 and 2!!!

Plush was saying to call his mom at the medal ceremony!

So so happy for Javier, for Contesti, for Lindemann, for Lambiel and for Plushy

What a day, now back to work for all of them, they all need it we read the protocols.

[hauteor]

Let's just all agree on one thing- this was one hell of an evening of figure skating!
