I am surprised he can stand up relatively straight.. and the thought of how it must feel when he jumps and then lands.. OUCH!!
He gave it a go.. a true champion.
Tara Lipinski was saying that if Plushenko had been well enough to skate he could have won the gold because none of the other contenders skated a clean program. I watched most of it live this morning and it was just so bad. Everyone felt they needed a quad and many of them that tried just fell on their bottoms. Big disappointment.
