Daisuke! I was hoping he'd land the quad clean, but I thought he might not be able to, based on practice reports and previous competitions. Even prepared for the eventuality, it still stunned me when he stumbled. I wish he was like the old Dai (pre-injury); we wouldn't be talking about 'Cold War' (ugh) then. But I admire him for going for it, and still delivering a great skate.
Truthfully, I was rooting for all three Japanese, Chan, Abbot, Lambiel (in no particular order), and Joubert AND I just knew Evan was going to bring it (so, I saved my energy), just knew Plushenko was formidable (so saved my energy), and didn't think Weir could medal but wanted him to have great skates (which he did, and I loved it, but again, saved my fan energy). It is amazing to me that the men's field is just so, so deep. I feel sad that some many men didn't skate as they wished/could; had they all skated clean I would have loved any podium.
Oda had my favorite program, Chan is my favorite all around skater, but Lysacek, who I do not like, won it fair and square, his victory unquestionable. So Lysacek it is, he skated and behaved like a true champ.
