FS is not just about the athletes or the fans. It is about the pride of the nations that these athletes and fans represent.
Figure skating is such an individual sport that I just can't get into this "national pride" thing.
Evan Lysacek won the 2010 Olympics. Good for Evan. But I didn't win anything, and I did not spend a lot of time patting myself on the back for having been born in the same country (and only two states away!) from someone who achieved something noteworthy.
If Plushenko had won I would have been happy for him as well. Or if the winner had been from Switzerland.
