He is a figure skating legend not just because of his stellar career, but because he displayed so much more than what was required of the scoring system back then. The chreography of this program had so much elegance and storytelling. No wonder his olympic performance is still considered as one of the greatest gold medal skates of all time.

Alexei Yagudin is the best skater in history, better than Plushenko, better than all. I watch every program of them since their debut. I love Plushenko, but Yagudin is magnificent. Technical and artistic Yagudin is matchless, like no other. He has a big sensivity in interpretation which makes you to feel and live the music. His programs presented at the Olympics Games in 2002 ( SP, LP, even the program of Gala) remain memorable! Undoubtedly the best skater in the history of figure skating !

The perfect men's free programme, for me still unbeaten even after 2018 olympics. I always watch this after the big events as a reference as to where the figure skating is going. Of course the old judgeing system allowed for such perfection to occur more easily. The new one simply pushes the skaters to their limits, whereas the old one left them a choice. If everything went according to plan from the beginning it (of course in extremely rare occasions) allowed them to ease up and just be perfect.

For many years, whenever I watched the winter Olympics, the Russian skaters just seem to skate with more "passion" than skaters from other countries. Men, women and couples, it's like they're not just skating to a choreographed program, it's more like they are totally engrossed in it. It's not like they are technically superior to everybody else, they just have more emotion to their skating.

No one can beat this guy. He is the greatest figure skater ever born. Such elegance, power, technical superiority and flawless presentation. I was watching the men's long program at the European Champs today and it seemed like a ridiculous game of who can fall more times. I feel like since Yagudin retired, the quality in men's skating started to drop tremendously. When you dont have idols to grow up to and compete against, you don't have motivation to be the best. Today, literally, the determining factor of the champion was not who the best was but who fell less times. I miss the times Yagudin competed.

After the competition I was able to watch the rebroadcast at my hotel and was flabbergasted at the announcer's commentary.

Plushenko is overflowing with Charisma and Kulik is unbelievable at interpretations of music especially the "Blues". They all are jaw dropping...gifted men. I feel lucky to witness their talents in our generation. It's like being alive during Beethoven's time and witnessing him play his music. I feel we all are blessed by their presence on Earth for whatever time they have here.

Правильно, - в пролете, без медали, по ребяческой глупости. И никто не узнает, сколько сил нужно было Плющенко, чтобы без всякого психолога собраться после дурацкого падения в короткой программе и так блестяще откатать произвольную!
