Well, what they did say was something like "Johnny skates for himself alone, maybe that is the secret of his charisma. When he says he is not skating at Worlds for a medal we actually believe him. He is a wonderful skater, it's already known what he can do, and he is just 21. It is always a pleasure to watch him." They were down-to-earth about the facts though and said before the points were shown that Sandhu had a quad-combo (did he? I skipped him :p ) and so would be ahead of Johnny. They also mentioned that "one has to show a quad if one is up for a medal".
But whyever was there no mention of the pain he was suffering? I thought that has made the news! That has to be considered to give Johnny full merit! :31
