Cousins mentioned during Plushenko´s skate (after triple lutz and double toe) something like, "this is not the quality we are used to see from Plushenko. I´ll call it right now, I think Lysacek has got it". Besides mentioning "it will be close", he also mentioned about Evan´s win after the result was clear, "very well deserved, I don´t think even Plushenko would begrudge that"...On the BBC, Robin Cousins, himself an Olympic mens champion as you're all not doubt quite aware, said it would be close but he had Plushenko just edging it.
