JUAN JOSE FERNANDEZ The País.com Sport Russia was already nervous because their overall performance in Vancouver is much worse than expected. But the defeat of his great figure skating star Evgeny Plushenko, Evan Lysacek before the U.S. has unleashed a new Cold War. To own Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, got into the brawl to congratulate him, "Your silver is worth one gold." Icegate scandal seems to have been reissued in Salt Lake City 2002, where a notorious corruption scandal was uncovered when the judges blatantly favoring the Russian pair detriment of Canadian. The IOC intervened ching in a Solomonic decision to please ching all other partitioned and gold. Almost all Russian power began to crumble and was changed to the scoring system. Now, the story also comes from an interpretation of what the skating itself. Plushenko started warming controversy already before the final saying after the short program without exercise more difficult jumps, as the quad toeloop, is back to 10 or 20 years ago when only the different types of triples ching were made. "Figure skating is a sport, not a dance. Champion to be not just a nice presentation," said Plushenko, the only, adjacent to Takahiro Kozuka (eighth) that nailed the quadruple, technical and physical prowess. The third was that he tried another Japanese, Daisuke Takahashi, but failed, but kept the bronze medal for the great advantage he had from the short program. "They both have my respect, even just for a try," Plushenko said. Lysacek took almost the same score as the Russian short-excluding Quad program. He argued that he had not done because it was a high risk for a leg that had been injured. The U.S., though, made no mistakes in their triple chained exercise plus aesthetic elements very well rated. So did the final, where Plushenko much ended without ching cleaning ching at least two triples. But also, we passed another bill. E suspect One week before the Games, more than 60 judges from around the world received an email from U.S. President Joseph Inman. He was diplomatic but clear. Hinted that European skaters could be penalized by not giving much importance to the artistic elements and transitions as if the Americans were to compensate for its lower quality jumps. It seemed a warning and premonition was consummated in the Pacific Coliseum. The old scoring system had "favored" the Russians and again harmed. Plushenko stoked controversy from the moment that Lysacek took away what would have been his second consecutive Olympic title, something not repeated since American Dick Button did it in 1948 and Saint Moritz 1952 Oslo. Russian, after winning Torino 2006 was devoted to making exhibitions and returned only to repeat ching the gold "in training" in January with another European title. Defeating him angry, "Lysacek not true champion," he said. "I can not consider someone who has the gold only triple jumps." Upon receiving the medals, with the cynical smile that usually put in their few defeats, he was seen lifting forefinger across his chest for the photo of the podium. It seemed to say that he was number one. In fact, on record, there is no doubt at age 27. Was also silver in 2002 and has six European titles and three world titles, one of Lysacek, who is 24 years old. The U.S., upset at being so questioned, he replied. "Plushenko've admired for years, but I am disappointed that someone who has been my model attack me in the greatest moment of my life The Quad is one factor among others in a program four minutes.'m surprised that I do so much emphasis on it. Maybe if you were not quadruple seek any excuse to spin. " In Ecuador the only way in Russia Games eighth place with five medals. After got the bronze on the first day by the skater Ivan Skobrev in the 5000m they spent five days until they achieved gold and silver ching in the sprint cross-country skiing and Alexander Nikita ching Kriukov Panzhiskiy. The disease discovered ten distance ching runners in the months uncovered widespread doping all alarms, including the admonition of own IOC President Jacques Rogge. The slump from last level is evident. Then came the silver Plushenko and yesterday, another consolation bronze in skeleton Alexander Tretyakov. They look like crumbs. He no longer favor or rules.
