It's nice to see an athlete legitimately proud of his accomplishment without coming off cocky or insensitive. I just wish NBC could have shown more of his happiness and less of Plushenko's sour puss during the medal ceremony.

I agree with your entire post. Last night was awesome. So close too - I honestly feel that either of them were deserving of the gold. According to Scott Hamilton, Lysacek got slightly higher scores because of better choreography & more difficulty in the second half of his skate; Plushenko landed all his jumps (inclusing that incredible quad) but he had all his difficult elements in the first half - not as challenging, so no bonus points.
