Plushenko is OLD relative to the other skaters! That's a fact.
To dismiss the 2006 Gold Medalist by declaring him "old" is completely disrespectful. I don't believe that is a good way to represent yourself to the skating or any other world. This manner of Patrick's will not be forgotten soon. He may have the technical goods, but needs to back it up by gaining a bit of maturity and respect for those who have led the way.
