I found the overall tone of the article weirdly negative. It seemed like the only two skaters the writer really, truly likes and admires are Evan and Emily. Even the view of Kimmie seemed pretty down and critical. And the take on Belbin/ Agosto was downright harsh. Hasn't Ben had some injury problems?

Funny how Evan's injury got mentioned, but not Johnny's. He's had a run of rotten luck WRT injuries over the past couple of years, but it seems like nobody ever cuts him slack. This article makes it seem like he's passed his prime and is already beginning to fizzle out. What Johnny really needs, IMO, is some time to rest, heal, and train. By his own admission, he's been playing catch-up all season. I think a case of ordinary fatigue is being exaggerated into terminal career burnout.

I hope every skater who was dissed in this article gets out there and has a fantastic performance, Johnny not least of all. :)
