foxmonkeyTHIS is what I hate about figure skating. Evan Lysacek skated a beautiful program, damn near flawless - if he bobbled, I certainly didn't see it. No falls, stuck all his jumps, and not half-ass sticks, either, solid landings that flowed right into the next move. How then, can two skaters with multiple falls and several sketchy moves have placed *ahead* of Lysacek? I can't believe he's not getting a medal. Unbelievable. Man, it had been a good Olympics experience for me up 'til now. Edited to add: YES, while signing off, the female analyst (no idea who it is) said the performance of the night belonged to Evan Lysacek. YA THINK? He was so, so robbed. It makes me crazy. Friggin' asshole judges, man. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ;-(

In fact, every skater in that last group (with the exception of Joubert) was miles ahead of Plushenko in presentation (as were most of the skaters we saw from the earlier groups). It makes you wonder if they've really got the Russian Mafia out of the judging.
Yep, which brings me back to what I hate about figure skating. ;-p
