Platinum? At Vancouver?
The media jumped on that, and screenshots of it are already all over the Internet. However today, a visit to his website from an American IP address shows the text that proclaims “Platinum of Vancouver” to be gone. The medal itself is still there, but nowhere does he say anything about being awarded a platinum medal.
It appears that the idea for his platinum medal came from RTR host Alexei Popov, who presented him with a symbolic medal and said: “You already have one gold and one silver so here’s a platinum medal for you,” Popov told the skater. “You are the real champion.”
