I was at the Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games back in 2002 when Alexei Yagudin won his gold medal, but I had already left by the time they had the exhibitions, so I missed the big reveal of his secret identity:
In retrospect, his being a Jedi Master explains an awful lot ... :-)
I just love this guy. He and Ilia Kulik have to be my favorite skaters so far this century.
Yagudin because I just love his music choices and routines and he's very powerful on the ice.
Ilia because OH MY GOD he can pull is leg up behind him like a girl and pull it all the way over his head! hahaha. When I saw that I was just like OMG LIMBER! haha!
Why the hell the Russian judges think that they need to cheat when they have competitors like this really eludes me.
