You almost have to admire the tenacity.

Evgeni Plushenko, the Russian figure skater with the bad 1970′s ABBA-eque hair and badder attitude who made all sorts of bitch faces while on the podium receiving his SILVER medal, and then went on to say that it wasn’t figure skating he didn’t get a gold in, it was dancing (bitter much?) has now managed to top himself.

On Plushenko’s official website, he shows that he won silver in Salt Lake City, gold in Turino, and platinum in Vancouver.  Wait, platinum?  Yes, completely unwilling to concede he came in second to the USA, Plushenko has decided that he won a non-existent medal to appear as if he came in first to those unfamiliar with Olympic standing or just plain stupid.

Way to make yourself a laughing stock there bub.  Enjoy your imaginary platnium standing from the 2010 Winter Olympics.
