Now my respect for Plushenko just went away again. Plushenko is so full of himself it is disgusting. He really is arrogant.
.
Who still remembers Jeffrey Buttle?
He is arrogant because he does have the goodies - quads. Boys need to start landing quads before they feign their 'outrage' over Plushenko's 'unsportsmanship'.
Quadless world and Olympic champions won't get much respect in figure skating history. Who still remembers Jeffrey Buttle?
Disgusting? You call the fact that he is saying what he is thinking disgusting?
What I call disgusting is the attitude of the mass replying to this.

Takahashi actually earned the highest PCS of the night in the LP with 84.50 and Lambiel was second highest with 83.60. Had Dai played it safe like Evan, he would be Olympic champion. Daisuke has got to be kicking himself in the aftermath of it all. Why did he have to try that quad . . . it ruined everything for him.
It is not the fact that he is saying what he is thinking, it is what he is thinking that is distateful. Perhaps I meant to say distatefull. Maybe that got lost in translation to english.
It's what separates the men like Daisuke from the mediocre drones like Lysacek - Dai is a true champion (something Plushenko commented on as well) who went for being the best he could be, at the most risk filled moment, with an element that he knew he would most probably not succeed in doing. Now that is what a true champion does. This is what is truly disgusting in this sport today and not the nonsense some other posters are mentioning - mediocrity is never progress and yet it is being hailed!
I think that Dai actually prefers his bronze than the gold he would have gotten by being a little wimp like Lysacek. It simply would not have been gold to him if earned that way.
Some posters here just don't get it - it's not just about the victory it's the journey to that victory too. This is what separates the true masters of their craft who are remembered and those who just fade away. This is also why we sometimes remember those who lost while those who won are quickly erased.
So you think they should be awarded points for their journey? That's insulting because I daresay every single skater up there has had a long and arduous journey. Plushenko did not skate masterfully. If he had, he would have won. The scores were so close it could have gone either way but it didn't. Take it up with the judges.

Why is it difficult to read what I have written?!
Please put in bold where I said that they should be awarded points for something they try and fail to do. It's really utterly ridiculous how you take something out of context and just spin it the way you want. Re-read what I wrote again if you want an actual conversation, otherwise spare me the nonsense.
