I think Plushy was genuinely hurt and I also think he wanted to continue competing because he wanted that gold medal. He seems very humble this Olympics and I can't see him being this calculating especially because Russia doesn't have another male skater to replace him.
For just a second, I actually thought Jeremy was faking to gain Plushy-esque sympathy but than I saw his face and realizes he was for real.
I do wish that Russia had a backup ready to go though. He knew he was hurt after the team event. Would it have been legal for them to sub in Kovtun after that event? Plushy had not been able to practice fully since that event finished!
I heard that the Russian Federation missed the deadline for being able to put in a substitute skater but I didn't hear when the deadline was. The whole thing is screwed up big time. But how thrilled am I that Jason Brown is in the to six? YEAH :)
