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:

	I know. I was looking at Lysacek's twitter today, he's been so happy (the exclamation point seems to be his favorite keyboard key). I hate that Plushenko's decided he needed to shit on his moment as much as he has. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The fact that he's clearly not letting BooHoo Plushenko's little toddler-tantrum rain on his parade makes me very happy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If Plushenko's that much of a dick it may make victory a little sweeter... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	He has just been a ball of joy since his short program that it is hard not to be excited with him! I still can't forgive him for some of the comments he made about Weir back in '06 or '07, though... (Reply to this)(Parent)
