Evgeni Plushenko's long, delusional journey continues. Just days after the silver medalist for men's figure skating denied that Evan Lysacek is the true champion of men's figure skating, he has apparently awarded himself a platinum medal.

Johnny Weir responds to critics with calm, classy demeanor
By Maggie Hendricks
Last week, American figure skater Johnny Weir was the subject of controversial statements made by Australian and Canadian television commentators who took a swipe at his manhood as he skated to a sixth-place finish.
This week, Weir addressed the criticisms at a news conference, joking that he grew out his beard just to prove his manhood.
Joking aside, though, Weir answered questions about the commentators' critiques with class and grace. He did not ask for an apology; instead he championed free speech and said that he wouldn't want these men fired.
"I hope more kids can grow up the same way that I did and more kids can feel the freedom that I feel to be themselves and to express themselves," Weir said.
Weir has been the subject of criticism for much of his career. His jokes about illegal drugs drew the ire of the conservative skating establishment, and the use of fur in his costume for the U.S. championships angered animal-rights activists.
The criticisms must have given Weir a thick skin. He has shown nothing but a calm face and responded in good humor to those who tried to tear him down.

U.S. Figure Skating announces 2011 film project
Documentary to commemorate 1961 world team tragedy
http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article. ... essrelease

(12/09/2009) - Colorado Springs, Colo. -- U.S. Figure Skating announced plans for a documentary film project that will celebrate American figure skating while honoring the 1961 World Team that perished in a tragic plane crash. The film will also be used to further the mission of U.S. Figure Skating's Memorial Fund, which was established in memory of the 1961 team to support U.S. skaters.

"U.S. Figure Skating has a great history, and through this film we will have the opportunity to share it with audiences around the country, and the world," said Patricia St. Peter, president of U.S. Figure Skating. "As we approach the 50th anniversary of the loss of the 1961 World Team, we are undertaking this film project to preserve the memory of those who have influenced generations of American figure skaters."
After an extensive search, U.S. Figure Skating has commissioned Lookalike Productions to produce the film. Founded in 2002 by twin sisters Lisa Lax and Nancy Stern, Lookalike has earned 16 Emmy Awards for its television and film productions.
"We believe Lookalike Productions is the right choice for sharing these important stories and effectively communicating the impact these individuals had on the world of figure skating," said David Raith, executive director of U.S. Figure Skating.
Research and planning have begun for the film, with production scheduled to begin in early 2010. The projected release date of February 2011 coincides with and commemorates the 50th anniversary of the U.S. World Team tragedy.
"We are honored to be chosen to produce this celebration of American skating," Lax said. "One of the most remarkable things about sport is its ability to fulfill the dreams of both athlete and spectator."
"This will be a film that focuses on an equally central and essential truth: One person's dreams can be fulfilled by another's," Stern said. "The dreams interrupted on Feb. 15, 1961, have not gone unfulfilled, they are realized by all who share them -- and give rise to the dreams of generations to come."
This will not be uncharted territory for Lookalike, as its past projects have led it to work with some of the most decorated skaters in U.S. Figure Skating history, such as 1968 Olympic champion Peggy Fleming.
"Their passion for accuracy on every subject they choose is obvious, but, most important, they understand how to take an audience on an emotional journey," Fleming said. "I am proud to have been one of their subjects as well as a colleague."

Why I am glad that I can least watch the Worlds this year online - wonder how many skating fans are going to know it is not going to be shown on TV this year and will know it will be online and when and where - guess I will just have to spread the news and hope other skating fans will too.
