second youngest figure skater ever to win a gold medal and first olympic athlete from russia to win gold at these games. finished ahead of her teammate yevgenia medvedeva, also nearly perfect performance. going into tonight, two-time champion had to be considered favorite but she must settle for silver. no medals for americans in this event, including fremont's karen chen. 18-year-old
