Johnny Weir takes a year-long hiatus

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...tion=si_latest

The decision this week by Johnny Weir, now 26, to pull out of the upcoming skating season might seem like a career ender, especially given his range of outside interests that run the gamut from fashion shows to reality TV to random acts of outlandishness. An Olympic or world title is likely out of his grasp and there is more money to be made performing than truly competing.

But Weir is an unapologetic Russophile. He skated to his practices at U.S. nationals in a Russian warm-up jacket, trading das and nyets with his Russian coach Galina Zmievskaya, who once taught his idol, Oksana Baiul. He is like an adopted son when he travels to Moscow or St. Petersburg, and Russian astronomers recently named part of an asteroid after Weir, in case he fancies a holiday visit to part of the asteroid belt one day. It does, after all, present a fine pattern of sequins.

But Weir is also a determined competitor and it would kill him to sit on the sidelines and watch the 2014 Olympics in Sochi from a broadcast booth or coaching position. Here is a bet he will jump and spin at the chance to skate on Russian ice.

U.S. Figure Skating Announces Title, Release Date Of Film Commemorating 50th Anniversary Of 1961 World Team Tragedy

Colorado Springs, Colo. – U.S. Figure Skating announced the title and release date for a film project that will celebrate American figure skating while recounting the story of the 1961 U.S. World Figure Skating Team that perished in a plane crash on its way to the World Championships.

The title of the film – RISE– encapsulates the vision of the film as a celebration of the sport of figure skating as it chronicles how the fall of a team gave rise to the sport. The film is scheduled to premiere nationwide Feb. 17, 2011. Further details regarding the film's distribution and premiere will be released at a later date.

The film chronicles the sports’ growth in popularity through victory and tragedy, featuring various luminaries of American figure skating and highlighting how similar their passions and ambitions were – and are – to those on the 1961 U.S. World Team.

    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.
