Sorry to say Plushenko wasn't in top form. He has only been back in competitive skanitg 6 months after having had retired 4 years ago and it showed. While he didn't have any falls, he looked wobbly and seemed to try to cover up a number of mistakes with his wonderful flourishes. Lysacek skated an absolutely clean if not overly inspiring program and deserved the gold. Even Plushenko admitted as much after the program although he criticized Lysacek for not doing a quad. I don't remember Plushenko doing a quad. Anyway, Putin's exasperation has more to do with what is a very poor Russian performance at the Olympic games. They didn't even pick up a medal in the pairs, which they had dominated for decades, and have fallen way short of expectations. Hopefully, they will get their act together by 2014 when the games are in Sochi.
