One never sees other athletes in the Olys crying publicly.

You know I honestly don't think I've ever seen Evgeni cry; get emotional, yes, but never cry.
I think it is worse when they keep showing the skaters who have already skated backstage and thier reactions to the scores of thier competitors. Nobody is going to be happy about being beat, it just makes for an uncomfortable situation especially with sneaky editing.
I m afraid with all this media crap that creates him like he is a monster, if evgeni will be booed in Gala, and that honestly would mean the end of fs for me. I hope audience is more clever.
I highly doubt that will happen Seniorita. Canadian skating fans know that, gold or not, Plush is still a giant in the sport & will show their appreciation for that.
I really think so too cause I will be very disappointed otherwise for the sport I love, I would never consider doing such reaction to any athlete.
Dont misunderstand my worry, I needed to hear your comment. I m still really puzzled with the video still that made him look like stallin in iron mask. Although I laughed at the end. Media has scary power. I should trust people more.

People buy whatever a newspaper writes??there is some filter process alway to do.
I know I should not generalize, but I honestly witnessed with my own two eyes a hostile crowd toward Evgeni on Thursday night, the mens figure skating final, and that from the pro-Canadian crowd with which I sat. I'll never forget that, especially the young Canadian lady making the most disgusting gesture with her thumbs & fingers when his name was announced. And the hostile silence that greeted me when I yelled out "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVGENI"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, when I waved the Russian flag; I was the only one to do so in my section.
I do think because of the North American media's bias toward him as a Russian he may not get received very well. I'm not saying booing, but definitely nothing compared to the reception for the North American skaters. JMHO.
