Welll, Evgeni Plushenko's comeback bid is off to a solid start today, despite the fact that he doubled an intended triple jump. He still had a quad and looked pretty strong. He's about seven points ahead of his nearest competitor, Takahiko Kozuka. America's Johnny Weir made some mistakes and finds himself ten points out of first.
