Another injury? What a bummer! This has not been Johnny's year. How depressing for all this bad luck to hit him in an Olympic year. I'm impressed he hit two triple Axels while having back pain. That takes grit. Kudos to him (shades of last year!) for fighting and not quitting.

His spot in the draw for the SP is excellent, however. A clean program should easily put him in the final flight for the freeskate. And he doesn't need to worry about a quad in the short. I dearly hope that all the good luck he's had with the Swan program will carry him through in Calgary.

Cautiously optimistic,
