Olympic Skater Goes Faux--for Now

he is as HEARTLESS as hitlers nazis the ONLY difference being his CLOSED MINDEDNESS is with nonhumans. still a very sick heartless human.

I really don't think that Weir dismissed the fur debate as silly he seemed to be discussing his Olympic performance as a whole and placing costume low in importance relative to his actual skating.

Well I just saw on the news that he decided he's wearing it after all. So I guess he just BS'd to get people to leave him alone and then decided to wear it anyway. I hope his evil a fails. Because for someone who says he supposedly knows exactly where fur comes from to decide to wear it anyway you have to be evil.

This is an animal rights board!

Thankyou Ralph and Jade for correcting me regarding when Paul Wylie won his Olympic Silver medal. I stand corrected Wylie won the Silver at the 1992 Olympics. I remember that Paul Wylie absolutely nailed his triple axel combo and then his choreographic interpretation of the music earned him the highest scores for artistic impression. Since the 1992 Olympics the quad has become mandatory for the men. Unfortunately Weir lacks a consistent quad. I think that Weir will be very lucky to nail a quad in his free skate at Vancouver. Also the new scoring system favors the technical elements of jumps. But that is only my opinion. Yes Weir has a very good chance to win the gold provided that all the other male skaters don't do quads. Actually my specialty is the Ladies event. Only one Lady has a triple axel and that is one of the Japanese ladies. Uh uh uh .... yes! I think she will try her triple axel in her long free skate if she comes in third in the short program. But if she comes in 2nd or 1st in the short program and the score is quite close to the South Korean lady then I think the Japanese lady will omit her triple axel in the long free program. But I could be wrong if the Japanese lady nails her triple axel in the practice sessions in which case she will surely attempt her triple axel in her long free program. How about Flatt's chances of winning the gold. My prediction is no way. The South Korean lady and the two Japanese ladies are just too too strong. And if the Canadian lady does a great short program then she has a great shot for the Bronze if one of the two Japanese ladies make an error and falls on a jump. I don't take Flatt seriously. The oriental girl who took second at U.S. Nationals will do better than Flatt at the Olympics. Flatt's artistry is horrible and her "line" is nonexistent and her spins are very bad. I think the top four places will go to oriental ladies. Flatt's total score of 200.1 points at U.S. Nationals was a futile attempt by U.S. judges to influence the international judges at the Olympics. After seeing the performances of the South Korean the Canadian the Russian and the two Japanese ladies in the competition in Japan last November 2009 I think the Japanese ladies will get the Gold and Silver at the Vancouver Olympics. Yes artistry does have a huge impact on the judges in the Olympics for the ladies. The South Korean's present long free program is weak on artistry in terms of choreography and choice of music and choice of costume. In addition she will be nervous as the result of being hounded by the South Korean press for the past year. At the Tokyo competition last November she missed a jump in her short program and fell on a jump in her long program in addition to making several other mistakes that she said she made. In her press interview she said that she was nervous. Even so I think she will get the Bronze at the Vancouver Olympics because she has so much talent. Hope you all enjoy the figure skating competition at the Vancouver Olympics and don't forget to watch the Dance Competition.
