The medals won at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic this year have rolled in and, as expected, have created quite some excitement. For the U.S., Olympic medal making news this year highlights winners such as Evan Lysacek, winning the Gold medal in men’s figure skating. This is a big achievement for the U.S. as the former and quite intimidating Russian gold medalist, Evgeni Plushenko, has seemed to eye and own the Gold medal hands down. After all, he won the Gold medal at the 2006 Games and the Silver medal at the former 2002 Games. In addition to that, he is a three time World Champion, a six time European Champion, a four time Grand Prix Final Champion and eight- time Russian National Champion! The news is that Russia is ‘outraged’ over his loss, believing that Lysacek stole the Gold from Plushenko as a result of poor judging.
