“I'm proud of what I do, and I'm proud of everything I've put out there. Everything I say, skate, wear, whatever. If it's out there for people to see, I'm happy with it. I'm proud of it. I hate falling on TV, and I hate falling in competitions, like anyone does, but I'm not going to do a program to compromise my ideal of what it should be, or what it should look like. So if putting a quad in would mean that I have a 50-50 chance of falling, that's not very good odds; I'm not gonna do it. But if the quad, I've landed every one in practice all week, it's 100 percent perfect or 90 percent of the time it's great, then I'll throw it in.
I don't know if I'm back to the point where I'm putting quad in for the Olympics yet. In addition to being a perfectionist, I'm very much into the feeling, and sort of the mystical thing, and having your aura be all good to do all of this stuff. So it's going to come down to the wire, the last minute, as to what I decide to actually put in the program, which is risky in itself. Because I could be out there trying to decide what I'm doing as I'm skating, and that's a mistake. But as long as I can roll with it, and still maintain an idea of what I would think would be a perfect program, then that's what I'm gonna do.”
我想这解释了为什么他迟迟不在正式比赛中用四周,这个完美主义者,恨在电视上摔倒,恨在比赛中摔倒,如果不是一周的练习中四周都100%完美或者90%棒极了,他就不用。

越来越觉得,Weir这个小孩是很有个性很有独立见解和思想的。
如果再给他一些时间,和一些运气,相信他会成为一个文化偶像,那要比成为一个奥运冠军更难能可贵,但也更重要。
