Controversy

[edit]

There was controversy surrounding Lysacek's win. It should be covered in the article. By some the win was stolen from Plushenko by the judges. "Olympic champion [Lysacek] doesn't know how to do jump quad". "“I [Plushenko] did a great short program but didn’t get the marks I deserved. When I asked why they told me I was skating early and they had to retain top marks for the last group,” he said." which is similar to 2002 Olympics scandal: "“We’d seen this before. In 2002 Irina Slutskaya unfairly was placed second in the short program so that Sarah Hughes could get a better shot at winning the gold,” Alexei Vasilyev said."
