Plush would be delighted to earn a medal for Worlds he didnt even attend.

And as much as I love Lambiel, putting him on the podium of Vancouver with these two performances is not much realistic, there was a handful of skaters skating cleaner that day. He got already high marks for a performance he has himself said was disapointing. he didnt skate like Euros.

Agree about putting him on podium in 2004 worlds though.

2010 WC

Honda's bronze was a little generous, but the home factor always counts

2002 Olympics
Yagudin
Goebel
Plushenko
I think Goebel would've won silver if he had a world medal

I am an ardent Lambiel fan and would gladly sacrifice the requisite number of small children and animals to have the skategods award him another Olympic medal, but I can't see how you can believe that Lambiel deserved bronze in 2010. He gave two rather weak performances which were a shadow of what he was capable of, technically and performance-wise, and was, even in my diehard fan opinion, over-marked and lucky to be in fourth place.

2006 Worlds:

Gold- Lambiel
Silver- Joubert
Bronze- Oda


2006 Olympics:

Gold- Lambiel (no 3Axel attempts and fell on 3Lutz in LP, but should have won it on PCS, spins, and footwork levels + GOEs)
Silver- Plushenko (doubled flip, where is his choreography, transitions, and musical interpretation? Spins and footwork are not up to Lambiel's level, IMO. I thought Evgeni offered many fantastic jumps, but Stephane offered some fantastic jumps and a fantastic overall performance in both programs, which IMO were better than Evgeni's.)
Bronze- Buttle

You see, me I did sacrifice the right amount of children and goats and chickens, so he won!

2010 Worlds
1. Daisuke Takahashi
2. Brian Joubert
3. Patrick Chan

2010 Olympics
1. Daisuke Takahashi
2. Takahiko Kozuka
3. Evgeni Plushenko
(Johnny Weir in 4th, Evan Lysacek in 5th...I"ve talked about my placements here ad nauseam, so I'll refrain from writing a giant detailed opinion in this space unless someone really hasn't heard it before. Basically, though, Takahashi and Kozuka not only had the most technically difficult programs but were also FAR ahead of everyone else in terms of their overall presentation/artistry. Therefore, even with a fall they were still better than the rest. Lysacek is in 5th because, despite skating basically clean and doing all the required moves, his program was awful and his edge quality is below that of most every other top skater and there was hardly any emotion in his performance)

2009 Worlds
1. Evan Lysacek
2. Patrick Chan
3. Brian Joubert

2008 Worlds
1. Jeffrey Buttle

2007 Worlds
1. Daisuke Takahashi
2. Brian Joubert
3. Stephane Lambiel (too bad he bombed in the SP...I rank him 1st in the LP)

2006 Worlds
1. Stephane Lambiel
2. Brian Joubert
3. Nobunari Oda

2006 Olympics
1. Evgeni Plushenko
2. Stephane Lambiel

3. Johnny Weir (so much better than Lysacek in the LP)

2004 Worlds

(Also, Laurent Tobel deserved 6th in the LP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzpT8vn4ZzQ . In terms of technical merit it's the best he has ever done! The only problem was underrotating the second 3Axel. I wanted to spotlight this performance since I do the same for his 1997 turn...I think the overall performance in 1997 is better but that giant hitchkick he adds here is cool!)

(Laurent Tobel deserved to place 2nd in the LP. I'm so not kidding! It's one of the most hilarious competitive programs of all time and his jumping, with 7 Triples including a 3Axel-3Toe, was honestly the second best of the night considering the mistakes everyone else made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6CcGLX5XMg)
