A man with no quad, is no man to me!

Emboldened by the support of his fearless leader, Russian figure skater Yevgeny Plushenko told adoring fans through Russian media that he was robbed of the gold medal by judges who instead awarded the gold to American Evan Lysacek. Can you hear cats fighting in your alley yet?

Said Plushenko, “You can't be considered a true men's champion without a quad.” Uh, Yevgeny…you can’t be considered a man wearing sequined spandex and dancing like a parlor maid.

Plushenko continues, "For someone to stand on top of the podium with the gold medal around his neck by just doing triple jumps, to me it's not progress, it's a regress because we've done triples 10 or even 20 years ago." And those of a sound mind believe that the triple jump is an incredible event in the real Olympics held every fourth summer.

Finally, "If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know…Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing." And any guy who thinks that the words ‘men’, ‘figure’ and ‘skating’ should all go together should be a dancer not a fighter!

Hey Yevgeny, enjoy the silver medal and come back in four years. Maybe by then we will have men’s pairs figure skating and you and Evan can skate together in matching feathers and spandex to your hearts delight. The media will have another field day talking up the “drama” and the “passion” and the “regality” of your event. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be watching Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White.
