Men’s Figure Skating competition happened last Tuesday night and what a competition it was! The men competed hard and strong. After the short program, Pleshenko of Russia was leading the way with 90.85 points. Not far behind was USA’s Evan Lysacekand and Japan’s Daisuke Takahashicame. Lysacek was just .55 points behind Plushenko with Takahashi another .05 back going into Thursday night’s free skate. Patrick Chan, representing Canada was still in the loop.


Since the three’s scores were pretty close, it set up the an exciting skating competition for every fan of every country to see. During the long program, Russia’s Plushenko did a quad but it wasn’t enough to sustain him the gold and Lyscek ended taking home the gold for team USA. Patrick Chan routine only got him up to two spot(fifth place).
