	Welcome to U.S. Figure Skating
		During his career, Plushenko has faced strong competition from skaters such as Alexei Yagudin and Brian Joubert, and he has been forced to work hard to stay on top.
		Plushenko first caught the attention of international skating fans when he won the 1997 World Junior title (December 1996).
		In his repertoire are several extremely difficult elements, such as a triple Axel into a triple flip, and a quad-triple-double combination that earns loads of points in the new scoring system.

		Plushenko went through the season like a locomotive on a mission, mowing down the competition at every event.
		He landed his famous quad-triple-double in every program, and as he neared the end of his dazzling free skate, sixteen thousand audience members rose together in awestruck admiration.

		Plushenko, who won the silver in Salt Lake City after coming in favored, almost surely would have won his fourth global title on home ice in Moscow last year if a groin injury and other miseries hadn't forced him to withdraw before the long program.
		Unless Plushenko has an uncharacteristic meltdown, the race is for second and third and all of his rivals know it.

	2002 Olympic Figure Skating Results - Men's Figure Skating Highlights
		Yagudin's free skate was slightly conservative in that he performed only one triple axel compared to his competitors' two, but it was nearly flawless nonetheless with two quadruple jumps and a full complement of six triple jumps.
		With a quad toe-triple toe combination, a solo quad toe, a never-before-done triple axel-half loop-triple flip combination, and a solo triple axel, Plushenko had a tour de force opening that would be enough to inspire fear in any of his competitors.
		Gutsy as the attempt was, the step out of the loop plus a later double salchow in place of a triple salchow left Plushenko with fewer clean triple jumps than his compatriot's conservative effort.
