Bravo Elvis!
It’s ridiculous. Taking nothing away from Lysacek; it’s not personal. Where in the sport do you not risk and play it safe and you win? It’s that simple.”
Pricilla Hill, Weir’s former coach, said she liked Daisuke’s performance the best. However, she said Lysacek deserved to win because he “was the cleanest of everyone.”
“I think Evgeny and Evan were definitely tight, understandably,” Hill said. “Plushenko didn’t fall, but he had more wacky things (choreography), and his spins weren’t as good. But the quad cost Daisuke. It cost him a ton. If he would have not tried it and gone with some variation of the system, he could have won because his program was great
Is that a bad thing?
Good. It's not only Russians that are complaining.

He has a point though, Plushenko's behavior is beyond embarrassing.
How is it any more embarrassing or any different than what Sale and Pelletier did in SLC? Plenty of would be champions go on the "I wuz robbed!" gravy train. Once in a great while, you can get a duplicate gold medal out of it.
As for Patrick Chan and his Johnny comment, how long has this brat been in figure skating? If some old lady or young girl made him a crown to wear, let him show his appreciation for her love and support. Obviously someone went through lots of trouble for it and he made someone extremely happy. It's not the first time skaters have worn a funny hat that was given to them (I remember Philippe Candeloro doing that in 1998). Certainly better than those skaters who have attitude problems in the K & C.

Yeah. He was a also a poster boy for decorum and good taste in skating.
Maybe he wasn't the Todd Eldredge of the figure skating world, but he ws a two-time Olympic bronze medalist, HUGELY popular around the world, and let's remember, he got the second highest technical score at the 1998 Olympics after Kulik. If wants to wear the musketeer hat, more power to him.
