US Nationals WTF?

Jan 28, 2008 23:34

I don't pretend I know all the nitty gritty stuff about figure skating, but what the hell happened during the US Nationals Figure skating Championship? Johnny Weir and Evan Lysacek were TIED. And yet Evan wins? Because of some obscure rule regarding the Free Skate? Johnny had the skate of his life, posted the World's highest ever short program score, had the same mistake on the quad like Evan and still he didn't win?

WTF?

I mean okay, Johnny missed his 3rd jumping pass, but still Evan got higher technical scores considering his landings were not perfect? I do not fucking understand this!

Of course I love Johnny and will defend him to the highest levels, and in my world, Johnny Weir just won his 4th US men's title.

The best quote of the whole thing comes from Johnny: "I have three; he can have two."

Yes Johnny that's all he's having. Next year you're winning this by a wide margin. Because these things just shouldn't ever happen to such a beautiful person as you.

johnny, figure skating, rant
