"It's an unenviable position when you're feeling the worst you've ever felt in your life, trying to prepare for something so important,'' Weir said.
"It may sound like an excuse but you also have to imagine that Michael Jordan also has an entire team of people around him,'' Weir said. "I'm a single, sparkly boy standing in the middle of the ice by myself. I see no comparison between Michael Jordan and myself in that respect.''
Weir was asked why he competed here if he felt so bad, since he could have asked for a waiver.
"I believe you should fight for your place on the team,'' he said.
But then he said no one should care that he lost the fight.
"I hope they do overlook what I've done here -- not completely -- and foresee how prepared I can be for worlds,'' he said. "I didn't skate well but I didn't embarrass myself, either.'' |
