Lysacek was first of the final group to skate and was able to pull off an almost flawless routing but deemeded 'safe' by skating experts. Lysacek did not attempt the difficult quad jump that Evgeni Plushenko did.
Plushenko put on a dazzling routine with several extreme jumps and thought he would be far ahead on the judge's scorecards.
