Wait, what?
He did. He didn't win the silver medal, he got the magical platinum medal reserved only for quad jumpers.
The medals themselves link up to the Sochi 2014 games website.
Love this quote from the news part of his site:
This Olympic silver is a real victory for the champion who's done the impossible - he is back proving he IS the best!
Huge thanks to Yahoo's Fourth Place Medal blog.

That seals the deal.
OK, I have now officially lost all respect I ever had for him. That’s just sad.
He is cool.
I love Evgeny. He is too cool. Seriously compare his 2006 Olympic performance with Evan’s 2010 winning performance. He is in a much higher league than Evan. If there was any justice, his short program mark would have been higher and would have made up for his shaky long program.
