points in the free skate and 258. 33 overall (全部的)-a surprising 27.12 points ahead of the silver
medalist. Four years ago,19-year-old Plushenko lost to his teammate and took the silver medal at the
2002 0lympics. This time, the three-time world champion took his first Olympic gold medal home.
"This game is mine, for no doubt (毫无疑问)," Plushenko said after the event. "It was my dream
when I was 4, I saw a competition and said to my mom,' I have to be there.'I said that I wanted to be
an Olympic champion. Now I have all the titles (头衔) and I am really very happy."
