YES!!!!!

I was silent earlier because i got scared for him after Kevin withdrew
but Zhenya has proven once again. legend

[SubRosa]

With a LP score of 176.52 and a total score of 261.23, Plushenko just surpassed Chan on the Season Best Total Scores list. (Takahashi still has the best SP score.)

[Nadine]

Artur just surpassed Evgeni, taking absolutely nothing away from Zhenya & his legend status, he should be proud, as should Mr. Mishin. He has two exceptional champions on his hands.

[Bluebonnet]

he scored 176.52!

Thanks! I'm soooooooooo happy and thrilled for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arhur needs to learn to skate. Beautiful jumps, no program. Extremely slow!!!!

[daphna]

[Bluebonnet]

I hope Plushenko will be gold!

[daphna]

15 points behind the king! thought it'll be closer!

Agree. This guy's a jumper, not a skater. For an elite skater, haven't seen crossovers/stroking this bad in awhile, maybe since Surya?

[daphna]

sadly, Javier is bombing hard. so wanted him to medal.

[beep_beep]

Awhh... Javi :(

[bigsisjiejie]

I'm bummed. Javi is my favorite, and he's just so off tonight.
