After surging into the lead after the short program in the men’s figure-skating competition, Plushenko the russian skater, proceeded to turn up the heat on American rival Evan Lysacek with a series of barbed comments that will further fuel a heated showdown set for Thursday night.
Their news conference shaped up as a verbal boxing match, which quickly turned into a one-sided smackdown reminiscent of Ivan Drago vs. Rocky Balboa in “Rocky IV” – without the fighting back.
Plushenko gleefully poked fun at Lysacek’s refusal to incorporate the quad jump – figure skating’s toughest and most exciting maneuver – into his program.m
Ok ok so this is not world war 3 between the US and Russia and the American guy is not even talking back, but it would be funny if Evan Lysacek started talking about the russians guy's mama.
