My understanding is that Plushenko pulled out so late the other Russian skater didn't have time to prepare.

31 yrs old seems quite old for a figure skater to be competing for an Olympic medal, to many younger stronger skaters.

The other skater was not chosen to skate after a competition for the spot. Reasons given were his age and his experience and skill.

Reasons given were among his age? really? Since when has Russia been shy about the age of their Olympians ha, thats funny.

I can't wait to watch tonight. I am rooting for Yuzuru Hanyu. He was great last night. I like Patrick Chan, too.
