Sure - Mother Russia will claim the prize! Is a poem about PLushenko? Really - no one to stop him from 'growing' and ‘excelling’ even more. The drugs make him feel like a god which is why, when he dreams of his 'victory lap around' Saturn, he feels like he 'owns the Solar System'. Saturn's icy rings have 'different compositions', a reference to chemicals and drugs. He also feels 'angelic', as well as god-like, meaning he has no feelings of guilt about his cheating. The poem is written with irone, I suppose?
No, it's not about Plushenko. Plushenko doesn't use performance enhancing drugs. It's about a fictional world famous Russian ice-skater who is unstoppable because he cheats not because he is truly the best - the 2 shouldn't be confused. There's irony, symbolism and a bunch of other stuff in this poem. But thank you for your comment.
