Dear Evegeni Plushenko,

Get over yourself. Evan Lysacek won. Whether or not you feel he actually beat you is your prerogative, but also, immaterial. He won the gold medal, you won the silver. Show a little class and let him have his moment.
Sincerely,
Lucy

(PS - I know that's not Evan's Olympic performance. It's not up anywhere yet.)

The thing is, if you compete in a sport where the winner is based on somebody's opinion, instead of on who is faster/stronger/scores the most runs, you have to accept that opinion. It's how the game works. If you don't like it, become a marathon runner.

and like lysacek said, if it were a jumping contest they'd be given 10 seconds w/o music to go jump and that would be it. but they're judged on a 4 minute 40 second program, so whatever.
