THE SCRAP MEDAL for Looking Most Like The Villain from a Nonexistent 80s
Movie About Figure Skating goes to silver medalist/mullet enthusiast
Evgeni Plushenko.
If Ivan Drago from Rocky IV and the bully from Karate Kid had a baby, it
would look just like this guy. Can't you just see him sneering from the
sidelines while synthesized drums provide background music to C. Thomas
Howell or a young Patrick Dempsy practicing the moves that will
eventually prove Evgeni's undoing?
I went looking for the picture that would most fit my idea of Plushenko
as a prissy, overconfident, bullying creep but you know what I found? He
looks exactly like that in EVERY PICTURE. He's like Draco Malfoy's
big-nosed Russian figure-skating cousin. From the 80s.
