Russian Plushenko beaten in men's singles Olympic figure skating

catalog printing

VANCOUVER, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Russian Evgeni Plushenko failed to defend his Olympic men's singles figure skating title here on Thursday, edged by Evan Lysacek of the United States by 1.31 points at the Vancouver Games.

The world champion Lysacek thus came out the first Olympic gold medalist of the event for the United States since the 1988 winner Brian Boitano.

Japan's Daisuke Takahashi took the bronze medal, which marked the Asian country's first ever Olympic medal in the men's figure skating.

Skating to "Tango Amore", Plushenko, who just came back from retirement this season, nailed a quadruple-triple toeloop combination, rather than the quad-triple-double combination he had planned, before jumping six triples and landing shaky on two of those.

The routine scored the 27-year-old 165.51 points, making him slipping to the second at 256.36 overall.

Lysacek, who was crowned the world champion in 2009, scored 167.37 points in free skating for a accumulated 257.67 points overall, after skating first in the last six-skater group and completing eight clean triples to "Sheherazade".

The result, of course, could not satisfy Plushenko, the three- time world champion of the earlier last decade.

"I'm happy with my programme, but not happy with the result," said the Russian, who claimed his sixth European title last month with the same routine. "I was sure that I had won my second Olympic Games. But this is the new system, the quad is not valued anymore. Apparently this is what figure skating needs today."

"As I said, I'd accept any result and a silver is great, but nevertheless it was a defeat today," he added. "I did everything the right way."

Asked whether he would announce to retire, just as he did five days after winning in Turin four years ago, Plushenko, with three medals after as many Winter Games, said: "Maybe this was my last competition, but we'll see."

Even his rival Lysacek gave him some credit. "I thought that he looked great. He had a great skate. It wasn't about gold, silver or bronze for me. That was a great skate," said the 24-year-old American.

Turin silver medalist Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland had his hand touching the ice on his opening quadruple toeloop in Thursday's free skating and scored a total of 246.72 points to finish the fourth.

Home favorite Patrick Chan, who's only 19-year-old and the 2009 world championships' silver medalist, was the fifth in his Olympic debut though he fell on a triple Axel.

Japan's other duo Nobunari Oda and Takahiko Kozuka were respectively placed seventh and eighth, though Oda stumbled badly on a triple loop and had to stop to fix his right skating boot. He finished seventh on 238.54 points with two points deduction for the incident.

Russian Ustyugov wins gold in biathlon men's 15km mass start (updated)

The 24-year-old Russian rising star finished first links of london in 35 minutes 35.7 seconds, followed by Martin Fourcade of France in 35:46.2. Pavol Hurajt of Slovakia won the bronze in 35:52.3.

Ustyugov, a soldier competing in his first Winter Olympics, shot a flawless program and sprinted away from the pack after the final shooting session to win the gold.

It seemed that he could not believe he had won the gold after skiing past the finish line.

"It hasn't sunk in yet. I still don't understand that I've won the gold," he said. "Honestly, I wouldn't even have dreamt that I would be here."

Fourcade, 21, missed two targets in the opening stage and another in the final round to ruin his chances of catching Ustyugov.

"The beginning was hard," said Fourcade. "I missed two targets in my first prone and I say: 'Now it's finished and I can't go on the podium.'

"But I kept fighting because it was the Olympics. If you say you can't (go on the podium) everybody looks at you. You have to fight and it got better and better for me. I could see all the other athletes were tired. Today was a tough day."

Hurajt, who claimed the bronze after leading for much of the race, collapsed at the finish after completing the race.

The 32-year-old veteran was satisfied with his results, especially his shooting performance.

"I knew before the start that the race could be very fast and I knew I had to make 20 out of 20 shots to do well," he said. "When I managed to hit all the 20 targets, I was very happy and I knew I had a chance for a medal."

The Pompey midfielder believes he is performing to the peak of his powers as links of london he readies himself to take on the Potters at Fratton Park tomorrow.

The Blues are eight points from safety going into this weekend's Premier League fixtures, and know they have to close that gap if they are to have a realistic chance of turning around their season.

But Avram Grant's men head into the game boosted by last weekend's 4-1 demolition-derby win over deadly rivals Southampton in the FA Cup.

They are winless in the league in 2010, however, and have picked up just two points from their past seven fixtures.

Pompey meet a Stoke side in form too, with Tony Pulis' side unbeaten this year a a run of nine games.

They may be performing, but they will be taking on a flying midfielder in O'Hara.

The on-loan Spurs man has been delivering top-drawer displays week-in, week-out for the Blues this season.

The 23-year-old has been pleased with his performances and believes they have been unsurpassed in his career.

And despite Pompey's troubles, he has no regrets about joining the Blues
O'Hara said: 'I think I am on top form.

This is probably the best form
I have been in in my life, to be honest.

'I'm really playing well and I feel I'm consistent in every game. As a midfielder you want to be consistent every week, so that's pleasing.

'I want to add a few goals to my game, but I'm enjoying my football.

'I'm playing every week and the fans are great with me. What more could I want?

'I want to play and it's a fantastic club.
'I wanted to be here for the season and come back.

'There is a lot of history here and Portsmouth have been in the Premier League for seven years now.

'I'm playing Premier League football every week. Why wouldn't I want to be here?'

O'Hara has called on Pompey to continue the devastating counter-attacking which put Southampton to the sword last weekend.

Grant's side smashed in four goals in 19 minutes after a tactical change from their manager.

The Israeli focused on exposing their opponents by sitting back and then using Pompey's pace to hurt them.

O'Hara feels that is the way the Blues should be playing every week.

He said: 'When we hit teams on Replica prada wholesale the counter we can hurt sides.

'That's how the top teams play. With people like Quincy, Nadir and Aruna we have so much pace and power. There is so much energy in the side. That is how we should be playing every week.

'We should be hitting teams on the break. We should be soaking up pressure and then countering.

'We looked devastating playing that way in the second-half last weekend.'

LUCKNOW: With three tiger deaths reported from UP and Uttarakhand over the past ten days, new year has started on an ominous note for the big cat. Even as investigations into the cause of death are still under way and officials predictably rule out foul play in at least two cases, experts feel that warning sounded off by the minister for forest and environment Jairam Ramesh could be coming true sooner than expected.

The minister had recently expressed concern at the dwindling number of tigers in India particularly in view of 2010 being declared as the year of tiger by China. At least 60% of tiger parts - bones, nails, claws, skin etc are said to be finding its way into Chinese market and other south Asian countries - Nepal, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand the most conspicuous among the group. What spells doom for the desi species is wide margin of profit which makes the deal extremely attractive to both parties. UP with its boarders opening into Nepal has over the years become a thriving conduit for the flourishing racket.

To Chinese it is pure and simple good economics. "Life of a captive tiger, like those reared in the Chinese tiger farms, is reported to be 20 years. Expense incurred for its upkeep is 1,000 dollars per annum which works out to be 20,000 dollars during its total life span. As against it a carcass procured from the Indian poacher/ smuggler could cost a sum as paltry as 200 dollars sometimes, claimed Sujoy Bannerji, deputy conservator in the ministry of environment and forest. Even during normal times the trade was brisk, but this year it could touch a new high, he feared.

Specially as apart from making the right noise, the government is doing precious little for the survival of the big cat. The issue of a special tiger force has been hanging fire for over one year and none of the states have been able to show any results so far, said CCF, Awadh, CP Goyal. Though UP, he said, could spring a surprise by taking a lead, he added.

One positive factor that could go a long way in tackling the cross-boarder smuggling is the compilation of an all-India data bank of suspected poaching and smuggling network by the Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI), said chief conservator of forest UP BK Patnaik. The information gleaned from different states and coordination will be a huge relief to zero in on and track down the offenders, he claimed.

This specially as the offenders have long arms. According to records with the Karnataka forest department, poachers caught in Rajiv Gandhi National Park which incidentally has the highest tiger density, are known to come from places as far as Madhya Pradesh, claimed BK Dixit, conservator of forest research, Karnataka. The exercise could come as a life saver to the species.

The importance of intelligence collection cannot be over-emphasised. We are not Replica fendi wholesale interested in counting the dead tigers, reiterates Belinda Wright, head of WPSI. Each tiger death needs to be properly investigated and must not be relegated to an official blame game. With so few tigers left here, each life she added, is precious and the clock is ticking.
