[@taniashmu]

Considering his height, and age this definitely deserve gold medal.

[@dsfddsgh]

I'm not sure what his age had to do with him winning here.

[@callmej5337]

He has great energy and the choreography by the Great Lori Nichol is uncomparable.

I love his outfit!

Quite amazing for such a tall guy.

He’s one of the most beautiful, handsome men in the entire world..

[@HamzooPineda]

He’s tall, handsome and masculine.

[@user-kb9cg2xq9p]

Hey one question, why does men skaters get higher components score than women skaters? In this case the overall program difficulty (base score wise) is not beyond Mao and Yuna, and the execution is not as flawless as Yuna in vancouver. Do men skaters have different scoring threshold?

[@nikavance9453]

The factor is different. The component score is calculated to balance the tech score and it is generally assumed that the tech score will be higher in men's skating than women's skating. So PCS is multiplied by a set factor to balance it out - in 2010, the factor for men was 2.0 and for women - 1.6. Hence, Evan got 8.2, 7.95, 8.5, 8.35, 8.4 in the components (not a single 9) multiplied by 2 for an overall PCS of 82.8. And Yuna got 9.05, 8.6, 9.15, 8.95, 9.1 (three components above 9) multiplied by 1.60 for an overall PCS of 71.76.

@@nikavance9453 Aha, clear! Thank you so much!

[@BrielleDavino]

This is great! Beautiful program. I’m a bit new to figure skating, I have been watching for almost a year and I can name most of the competitors at Vancouver, yet I’d never heard of Evan Lysacek despite him being the gold medalist. Does anyone know if there would be a reason that people don’t really talk about him or if I’m just uncultured?

[@barbaras3206]

Seven bridges was where we shared "ice". Such dedication and was always kind to the beginners on the surface.

[@rosebudkeely8153]

I'm fairly new to it as well, but I believe it is that he doesn't get talked about a lot. Some people found him quite underwhelming, not only because he didn't have quads in his program, but a lot of people didn't think he had any qualities that made up for his jumps. And there was a lot of debate about whether he deserved to win over Plushenko with this program. I lean towards him over Plushenko, although I'll admit this program doesn't quite stand out against other Olympic gold ones.

[@nikig2382]

I have been watching figure skating since around the Salt Lake Olympics, and he is definitely not talked about much anymore. However, contrary to what the person above said, the narrative against him was 99% about him winning without a quad. Him lacking other qualities doesn’t really make sense (how would he win gold?) and sounds like internet garbage.

[@Glitteringmoonstone2022]

If there is a chance you can see his Carmen program in Torino, that program was much better than his gold medal one. He got 4th in Torino

[@erika6651]

Evan didn't create the excitement or "capture the hearts" of skating fans like other champions have. None of his programs are very memorable. There is a lot going on in terms of movement in this program, but it just doesn't have that "wow" factor to it.

[@npkrn6764]

The closest thing (person) we'll ever see to Tom Ford or JFK Jr. on skates 😍 😂 I'm an American, but regardless of country, Evan is just gorgeous - how could we not love him?

[@len5491]

He deserved this medal ❤

[@tonaricca8529]

Plushenko sarà sempre l'unico re del ghiaccio!! Anche se i giudici si vendono ai più paganti.

[@Yesenia694]

Muchas felicidades

[@saracusenza4657]

He deserved the gold here! Better performance and solid routine! But I will always love the charisma and effortless choreography Plush brings....he's just a natural on the ice.

[@erickfrago7224]

My only question, what's with the snake design in his costume? I mean , I hope the USA team made him wear something else. He is handsome, tall, muscular then the costume gave a villain vibe. 🙊🤷🏼‍♂️

[@felicialovesnkotb]

I'd imagine it was taken from on of Scheherazade's tales "Hasib and the Queen of Serpents."

[@erickfrago7224]

@@felicialovesnkotb that was what I was also thinking but let's face it, he deserved a better designed costume.

[@cristianmendoza1442]

Yeah Plushenko deserved silver. He jammed packed all his elements in first part of program. The second half was basically fluff and not much skating. So even without the quad Evan deserved to win.

У него четверных не было, и ему дали золото? Фууу, позорище! Так юниоры катаются...😉👎

Overall though, Plushenko is so much more fun to watch! Although Plushenko didn't win, I'll always consider him more talented.

Not a gold program at all. No quards, not a technical level for a gold. Too many 2 foot skating and too many gliding. Not much artistry as well.

[@jinzhu2441]

@@garypalleria6674 That's only in your eyes. Not in my and in the others who agreed with me.

[@mht4908]

Quads weren't popularized until after 2010, in Vancouver only Plushenko had landed them consistently. Yes he had that quad toe, but he had many wonky landings (particularly the 2nd triple lutz and the first triple axel), he was so tilted to the other side that you'd think he wouldn't make the jump
