Do they have to announce who the guy is before day one of competition? I say keep it secret until game time.
That would be great! And the skater is......

I hope Plushenko goes for the entertainment value. When he misses the podium, poor "old" man, expect a big stink. What would FS OLY be without some hip wiggling and blown kisses from the mullet man? Seriously, who would not miss plushenko, the bionic skater. Really, I will miss him and if he can still skate and jump somewhat, he is still likely better than anyone else. Amazing how they do not have a bunch of great kids like in ladies. I do not get it. I just hope he does not injure himself.
They have likely gold in pairs. they have maybe a bronze in ice dance. they have at least a bronze, maybe silver with Julia. So who cares about the men's podium? People just want to see him. Maybe he should just do a gala skate to please the people. I don't care really. he is done, and should accept it. The podium will be Chan Hanyu and Jason Brown. Plush has no chance -I hope he does not expect a medal for real.
Me too. Sending Plushenko sounds to be more reasonable than sending any other Russian man. Plushenko may not be able to get a medal in Sochi, neither does any Russian man it seems.

Member of the expert committee, a famous judge, chairman of the Technical Committee of the ISU Single and Pair Skating, Alexander Lakernik, shared his impressions about the control skating of Evgeni Plushenko, who took place in Novogorsk.
- I estimate Evgeni Plushenko's skating as very good - said Lakernik . - He skated Free program. Evgeni jumped two quads, there are some minor notes, but they are important only for professionals, such as the spins of the third level to make the fourth level. But I think that these details should not be discussed in the press.
- You, as a member of the expert council will recommend Plushenko as the main skater to perform at the Olympics?
- Do you want me to know more than I'm willing to say? I do not bring the final decision. It will be made in the coming days, at the Russian Olympic Committee...
Plushy should go to Sochi because I will go, if this is not enough of a reason, I m running out of arguments
Test skate news, I hope there is a vid.
Mishin says he is satisfied and they will wait for decision. He did his FS apparently with a hand down 4t, a 4-3 and the rest of his program. I didnt understand well from translation.
