The boy won!

And I'm very happy about that. Admittedly it was a lousy performance, but he didn't fall and it's the only time I've ever been able to watch Plushenko without having fits and kittens that he's going to fall. It was wierd, it was like he knew he didn't have to push it to win, so he didn't. So he wasn't going to do anything ridiculous. It was like the coronation of a king.

To all his opponents various - seriously, the guy does make mistakes, you just have to push him. Being able to land your own jumps might help in that regard.

The medal table makes for fun reading - USA, Russia, Germany - big powerhouse countries, followed by Austria and Estonia - tiny little countries. This makes me very happy also.

he's very talented, but not so interesting this time - phoning it in. Still, always worth watching.

I'll be keeping an eye on that little japanese boy, too

Was he the one that was dancing to the Four Seasons in the long programme? BBC was being spectacularly useless when it came to identifying and naming people.
