I was watching on German Eurosport most of the time, but after Plushenko's skate I switched to a different German broadcaster for a short moment and the commentator there was talking about how much better Evan's footwork was, more difficult, more creative.. I think he prefered Evan to win.
Eurosport guys on the other hand thought the result wasn't okay.
(and Daniel Weiss, who did the commentary until the last group, said Kozuka was all about jumps and deserves low component scores )
Oh my, does he know anything about ice skating?
