Torino, revisited

[reet]

Today is the anniversary of Johnny's short program in Torino - February 14, 2006.
5 years ago on Valentine's Day, he competed on Olympic Ice for the first time and skated The Swan to a personal best score of 80.00.
Happy Valentine's Day! ♥ ♥ ♥

It's been FIVE YEARS, Reet. *___*

I know. >_>
*thinks gloomy thoughts*
Just push me to my grave why don't you.

Nah. I'm only kidding.
I love that it's been five years.
I love that you're still using that icon. *_*
It's such a wonderful icon. sigh

Oh thank you, this is marvellous! What truly hideous hats the US team had to wear that year. As well as the gorgeous swan pics I love the one of Johnny with Boz (and Johnny's coat particularly!) and it's fascinating to see the team photos, maybe I'm imagining it but I think Johnny looks quite uncomfortable in a lot of them.

haha You don't like those hats? xD The Vancouver hats were cuter, it's true.
The one with his grandma is sweet as well.
lol I love team photos. I once even saw a video on youtube of the US figure skating team inside the athlete's village in Torino. I dunno who posted it or whether it's still available. But I love that stuff.
But yeah, it's been documented that he's not a team player. lol

Nostalgia indeed. I love that you included those articles. That performance was so magical!

This really wasn't meant to be a sad post. :D
He was very victorious and perfect that day. One performance like that, on a world stage, can do a whole lot for you. :)
