Yo Lysacek, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish...
Yevgeny Plushenko, Russian superstar, lost the Men's Figure Skating gold to Evan Lysacek last week. He's been throwing a fit ever since, including stepping on the gold medal winner's platform during the award ceremony.

Today, he took the whining to another level, and awarded himself the platinum medal.

ETA: Since I submitted this yesterday, Plushenko has denied having anything to do with the medal. Also, I must have linked to the boring article with no comments. Total writeup fail, guys. D:

*awards self tin foil medal*

I saw that about the platinum medal and found it really pathetic. The guy needs to grow up.

And Elvis Stojko is siding with him. But I can't give a crap about what Stojko thinks since I heard him say that gay men are ruining men's figure skating.

There really is a disgusting undercurrent of machoism in the sport. They're so desperate to prove they're not a ~*girly*~ sport that they take it out on anyone perceived as being effeminate enough to "perpetuate the stereotype", whether they're actually gay or not. And if they are actually gay, then they're considered even more "fair game".

That comment does suck, though I'd heard the reason why he was mad is because the person who won didn't attempt anything particularly difficult, and the person who didn't win did?

I'm not really following a lot of it, mostly just curiosity about the hockey stomping.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Plushenko himself say that the platinum medal wasn't an award *from himself*, but a joke coming from Russian media? If it's true, then the whole "platinum medal" deal would be just a small thing that it's been taken way out of context and/or blown out of proportion by American media - while trying to create a rivalry between Lycasek and Plushenko at any costs, painting one as an angel and the other as a commie monster.

As for me, this fanart says a lot. Oh, Hetalia fandom.

Honestly... Plushenko left a bad taste in my mouth the minute he made his "If you don't do a quad, it's not figure skating anymore, it's just dancing," comments, and then even more with his antics on the podium. He's an excellent skater, to be certain, but a sore loser, and it reminded me a LOT of Nancy Kerrigan's comments while waiting for the medal ceremony the year she came in second to Oksana Baiul. If I remember right, they were redoing Oksana's makeup, and Nancy stood there and groused that they shouldn't bother because "she was just going to cry it all off again anyway."

If the quad was a required element it'd be a different story, but it wasn't. I can't see throwing away a performance on a jump you could conceivably lose a lot of points on, either by falling or bobbling on the landing.

Dude. Plushenko's whining about winning silver at this Olympics reminds me so, so much of Irina Sluskaya's whining about winning silver in Salt Lake City (an event during which she fell on her ass and still ended up on the podium) and bronze in Torino (where, like Plushenko, she suffered from a wretchedly under-choreographed, badly executed long program -- but with lots of hard jumps!). Fucking Russian skaters and their testosterone poisoning.

I love Plushenko SO MUCH just because he is like this and I can laugh forever.
