Last night was the men's freestyle figure skating programs. With Plushenko in the lead with Evan Lysacek only a fraction of a point behind, it made for truly nail-biting performances. Fan favorite, Johnny Weir, was in sixth place going into it, but skated an absolutely beautiful, moving and almost flawless (no flaws in his jumps) program... but got robbed again in the scoring. With others falling down and messing up and still scoring higher, it was evident that Johnny, placing 6th, gets judged poorly, probably due to his individuality. Evan Lysacek managed to upseat Plushenko, which wasn't hard to do since Plushenko looked like he was in a daze. Evan does practice very hard and is dedicated to the sport and deserves to win, but his personality is like a wet sponge, so watching him is like watching (talented) paint dry. All in all, it was a fantastic, exciting night.
This is Johnny's short program... the freestyle programs haven't been released.
