How do you think this will affect the rise of young skaters that are coming up now. do you think that Plushenko will be a world force like he was before the olympics? I know that he was often overmarked, and if the judges do this agian, it will hurt Evan's Johnny's as well as skaters like the Japanese and Buttle from becoming major conndendors of world gold. I doubt highly if he can stay competive through 2010,, i don't know how old he is, but he did have a few stammina issues recently, and three more years of hardcore training migt not be what he baragined for.
Personally, i belive that Plushenko will come back and find the skating scene quite diffrent than he lef it. IMO Joubert will try extra hard to get the world title this year, bacause next year he willl be back to being the ubderdog to plushenko. The japanese, even without a quad, can cerainly challange pluchenko becasue of thier edges, spins and great foot work and POE from theier triples. Plusenko might not realize it's not as much fun as he remebered.
