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:

	Someone should make a manga out of this figure skating drama. I swear, Plushenko is the perfect shoujo villain, and "Lysa-chan" can be the plucky bright-eyed protagonist. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	But they'd end up being slashed together by the end anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But obviously! Everyone knows that the bullying boy introduced in the first chapter will end up together with the main character! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If they were females, they'd have a Lifetime Movie instead. Didn't they shoot a made-for-TV movie with Nancy Kerrigan, her blind mom and Ebul Ebul Tonya Harding? Either way, it'd still be hilarious like Hell. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Only if Philippe Candeloro can show up at some point and be a crazy mentor figure or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)
