How Evan won the gold.

Where did Evan win the gold?

... in Vancouver, of course.

Okay, okay. I'm sure anyone who's been following the Olympics has heard Plushenko complain. Plushenko says the quad is undervalued and he should have won based on it alone.

Where did Evan score the points to win?

Let's compare their moves side by side. You know, the way they replay the skiers side by side. I've reorganized their moves so we're comparing apples to apples. They scored the same artistically so Evan won on the technical scores.

( With that quad Plushenko earns a solid 3.2 point lead. )

( Uh-oh. Now Plushenko only leads by 2.24 points. He's catchable. )

( Lysacek takes another nibble out of Plushenko's quad. Plushenko only leads by two points. )

( Lysacek has taken him on the footwork by a full point. Suddenly, Plushenko only leads by a point. )

( They're dead even. Plushenko's extra points for the quad are spent.  )

( Plushenko has inched ahead again. He's got the lead. By half a point.  )

( Lysacek is now in the lead by three tenths, 0.36 to be exact. It's soooo close. )

( Lysacek pushes ahead by 1.06 points.  )

( Lysacek widens his lead to 2.46 points. )

( But that only inches Plushenko up 0.2 points. Lysacek still leads by 2.36 points.  )

( Lysacek still leads by 2.36 points. All that's left is footwork and spins. )

( As the crowd stands, Lysacek racks another half point to his lead.  )
