And its possible that had Plushenko or Takahashi been there they would have lost to Lysacek there too as they did in Vancouver with the exact same program- as Lysacek did not change anything about his program from 2008-2009 to 2009-2010 jump wise layout wise.
I don't see how. It means that Plushenko's score would have decreased from 258 to less than 242. Let's not forget that Evan's score at the Olys was 14 points higher than in 2009.
