Lysacek确定不上四周，可有消息称Weir可能想上四？http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/sns-ap-oly-fig-weirs-quad,0,6881512.story
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir is considering bringing back a quadruple jump in his free skate for the Vancouver Olympics.
Weir rarely has used the four-revolution jump, although he did a quad toe loop in the 2008 season, when he won a bronze medal at the world championships. That was the last time Weir was a factor in a major international competition.
He said after last month's U.S. championships that he wouldn't be doing one in Vancouver. But his coach, Galina Zmievskaya, has urged Weir to begin practicing the quad, and he says he is proud of "the clean one" he did during Monday's run-through. That quad had a funky landing, though, and when he tried three more, he popped one into a double and the others had only three revolutions.—— 原来是教练老太让他上四。据说周一练习中曾有一跳成功，但其他均失败。
Still, it could be in his repertoire for Thursday's free skate; the men begin Tuesday with the short program.
"What do I have to lose?" asked Weir, who won his third consecutive American title in 2006, then finished fifth at the Turin Games after being second in the short program. "I'm not a favorite for a medal here. If I feel like doing it, I will do it."—— Weir觉得自己目前没什么可输的了，反正也不被看好，因此要是感觉还行就上四周。
Weir's strength always has been his presentation, which can range from lyrical to avant garde to outrageous. No American skater has matched persona with performance the way Weir does.
The jumps? Well, they are there because they have to be. They've never defined Weir, and they never will.
So his toying with the quad is newsworthy, and he recognizes that.
"I want to skate the way I can skate and not worry about missing a step or a jump or doing something stupid like a double loop," Weir said. "I want to go into autopilot out there and do everything I have been trained to do.—— 仍然觉得double toe是“很愚蠢”的东西（同感），只想尽量发挥。
"This was my first practice after I had a day off (Sunday), and so Galina said, 'Let's jump a little bit.' I did every triple jump at the end (like) what we always do at home. Then Galina said, 'OK, try the quad,' and boom, I did a clean quad." ——周日之后首次训练，结束时完成了每周三周跳，最后Galina要求做一个四周，而且还成功了。
Most of the top competitors in Vancouver will do quads in their free skates, although fellow American Evan Lysacek, the current world champion, has eliminated it because it causes too much stress on his left foot. U.S. champ Jeremy Abbott will attempt a quad, as will defending Olympic gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko and Turin silver medalist Stephane Lambiel. The quad long has been a staple of 2007 world champion Brian Joubert's programs.
That's fine by Weir, who is more likely to devote extensive brainpower to the sleeves of his costume than to thinking about the quad.
"I want to win over people's hearts and minds," he said. "I want people to be transported away when I am skating." —— 只想正常发挥，赢得观众。

General Weir
Johnny Weir hasn't tried any quads in competition this year, but he's thinking about putting one in his free skate in Vancouver. "The day before yesterday, I did a long program run-through at Trout Lake [practice rink], and Galina said, 'let's just try it and see how your legs are,' and boom a clean quad," he said. "I took yesterday off, so my legs were too heavy get around one this morning, but I'm going to try it again tonight. What do I have to lose? I'm not one of the favorites for a medal." We've known Johnny for years, but we never knew he was such a World War II buff. He's passing time here not by watching himself on Sundance's Be Good, Johnny Weir, but with a documentary on Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. "It's all about the behind-the-scenes deals; it's so interesting. They're all fighting against Hitler, and I think that's kind of applicable to the situation here. Everyone is at war." ——Weir在奥运村中，看二战资料消磨时间：关于丘吉尔、罗斯福、斯大林的逸事。他认为这都是“幕后交易”，大家都在和希特勒斗志斗勇，该种局面也可以用在FS上。
So which one of the three does Weir most identify with?
As we crossed our fingers that he wouldn't say Stalin, he answered, "Oh, I'm Lady Gaga." ——那Weir认为自己和谁最像呢？斯大林？不，他是Lady Gaga。 |
