It's not difficult to understand how Lysacek won.
1. Lysace's programs were more technically difficult than Plushenko's, even without the quad. Lysacek was the first skater smart enough to backload his programs and bank up the extra 10% on a lot of elements. Now, everyone is doing it! Traditionally, Plushenko put all his heavy tech elements up front and just coasted through the last 1.5-2 minutes of his program. Because Lysack's base value was higher in both programs, and he skated flawlessly with zero deductions, he beat Plushenko on the technical mark, even without the quad. They were essentially tied on PCS with Plushenko only having a 0.1 advantage there. So, no one can say Lysacek's victory was a subjective one or that Plushenko was "robbed". He wasn't. Mandatory base points and the extra 10% add up, and they did just that for Lysacek.
2. Eight years ago, the guys who were able (and there weren't many) were mostly doing one quad in each program. In those days, it wasn't difficult for a challenger who skated flawlessly with zero deductions and no quads to defeat a defending champion who landed a couple quads but with other mistakes. At that time, the quad toe Plushenko was doing was only worth 10.3 points, while a triple-axle, triple-toe was worth 12.8 points, and Lysacek had a 3A+3T and a 3L+3T in his LP. He also got higher levels on his footwork and other elements.
3. Plushenko was seriously out of shape. It must be remembered that after winning gold in Torino, Plushenko went into semi-retirement. Between 2006 and 2010, he didn't skate in a single competition. In fact, the ONLY competition he skated in prior to the 2010 games was Russian Nationals. Now, I don't care how talented someone is--if you don't use it, you're going to lose it. How could Plushenko think he could come back after four years of not skating competitively and walk right into the Olympic games?! His lack of conditioning showed. His jumps were very crooked in the air with wild landings and a wide swinging leg on one. A couple of times, only his muscle memory kept him from falling. To all those who don't know how to add up base points and understand why Lysacek won, I say, "Go back and compare Plushenko's LP's from Torino and Vancouver. His performance and conditioning is markedly decreased in 2010." Even so, the judges did NOT hit Plushenko with the -GOEs he deserved, while at the same time, they showed Lysacek almost no +GOE love that he should have earned. In the end, Lysacek won that gold all by himself with no help from the judges either in +GOEs or PCS. He won it basically on base points alone, and he totally deserved it.
4. Plushenko knew he hadn't done enough to win. I always tell people who bitch about Lysacek's win to watch Plushenko's Vancouver LP and pause the video after the camera gets a close-up on him with his arms over his head during the applause. You can tell by the worried expression on his face he KNEW what he laid down wasn't enough to win, even with the quad...and yet, he somehow still expected it. Such an entitled narcissist.
5. Lysacek's gold also is NOT the first time a skater with no quad defeated a defending champion who landed one in each program. Two years BEFORE Vancouver at Worlds 2008, Canada's Jeffrey Buttle defeated France's Brian Joubert, who landed two quads but with other errors, while Buttle with no quads had two incredible skates. Watch it. Buttle is amazing and deserved his gold, too. Yet somehow, certain people lost their minds when Lysacek won gold in Vancouver. The bottom line is that Plushenko seriously underestimated the competition and overestimated his capability after four years off going into the 2010 games. He thought he could sail right in there and walk away with the gold like 2006. He expected his reputation and not his actual performance to do the heavy lifting for him, but he wasn't counting on a better and smarter skater with a strategically planned program skated flawlessly defeating him that night. His ego got the best of him.
Even in Sochi four years later, the top guys were still only doing one quad in the SP and just two quads in the LP. That's it. Men's skating didn't become quad heavy until Nathan Chen hit the scene in 2016-17 and forced all the guys to try and keep up with him. Now, you simply can't win without two quads in the SP and at least 4-5 in the LP...but back in 2010, it was a VERY different story.

This still gives me goosebumps. He's such a lovely skater and this program was amazing. I miss skaters skating to classical music now. Scheherazade fit him so perfectly. And I was so happy for Frank Carroll.

I get this was 10 years ago, but Kostornaia would've taken this men's event if her current self was there.

Yo era fans, fans de Plushenko y me sigue gustando. Pero un día allá por 2017 dije voy ha ver a este niño que ganó en Sochi ( no sé porque me resistía a ello y siempre lo pasaba por alto ) y bueno lo vi y desde entonces cambio todo , para mí ,.
Lo dijo Plushenko hay un antes y un después se Yusuru.
Este chico que ganó en Vancouver no lo volvía a ver no sé que le pasó.
Además la vigencia del japonés !!!! ( casi 10 años !!!!) Increíble.
También me enamora la versión del hombre de la máscara de hierro por el ruso ( no sé escribir bien el apellido ).

It's almost 2018 and I still absolutely cry seeing this. I was lucky when I got to see it live... That was being there for history!

The world will remember him as the one who stole the gold from Plushenko.

I don’t think quads should define a performance... the man CAN do quads but he had to mind a past injury and had to play his cards right. And it meant he gave more time for artistry which I think is sorely underrated and kinda missing now... skating is as much art as it is sports. I always appreciated that balance in Evan’s performances.

Midori's Scheherazade in 1990 world is more dynamic and the height of her 3A is higher than him.

No importa qué tan bien lo hizo. En el corazón y en recuerdo quedó Jhonny. Y el vídeo completo con la ovación de la gente y lo que transmite, lo muestra todo!
