wether or not it was technically more difficult is I guess irrelevent to my arguement anyway since it was the presentation marks I disagreed with. I must admit the Bielman spin is one of the things I love the Russian for. I did think the American's jumps were as well performed as the Russians tho, if not better, he was so relaxed about it all. He looked natural. I thought Pluschenko looked tense

  Mmmm, I don't think it is entirely fair to say Goebel's program was 
  technically more difficult.  I have heard this, but I don't buy it.  
  True, Goebel had 3 quads, and Pleshenko had 2.  But Pleshenko did a 
  Beilman spin and some other head-touches-the-skate spin, and he's the 
  only guy in the world who can do that.  Also, I think he gets better 
  height on his jumps and skates with a great deal more speed, which is 
  reflected in both marks.  I say that even though I personally didn't 
  like Pleshenko's choreography as much as I liked Goebel's.  

  Of course, the Russians have promised me a fur coat if I will say 
  nice things about their skater.  :-)

  coats *inside* a warm auditorium)
