It was the first time I have seen figure skating for many years and it seemed to me as if in Male programs nothing really changed much since 10 years agog (I had a definitely different feel about couples, though - they really moved forward).
Weir has to convince me that he is more than just a pretty face and more than just another guy who is Johnny Depp's wannabe. If he skated well, I could have forgiven the dive ways but diva ways+no medal=ridiculous.
Yes, Lysacek is dull. I kind of feel for him, though - he is an Olympic champ and all, but everyone everywhere talks about Plushenko.
My problem with Plushenko is that he puts too much worth on the quad.
Exactly my problem as well. I have looked into the new marking system in more detail and really, it is all about arithmetics. You know how much value every element is , so you have to make sure that if you have high-risk elements (like quad) you add some lesser risk elements just in case they don't go that smoothly.
Besides that, his program wasn't anymore interesting than Lysacek's.
Exactly my problem too. I have seen some of comments that "he just doesn't have it in him". BUT! Look at Sex Bomb!! He has plenty. :D He needs to change his choreographer.
Oh Plushenko! Go back to the days of "Sex Bomb". I'll fangirl you all the way.
