Johnny says he's not a Diva, but he really is! --------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny Weir is a diva, after all. How else to explain Weir’s drop from second to fifth and medal-less at the men’s figure skating? Weir blamed his performance on the bus schedule being changed, causing him to get to the arena later than he wanted. Then he flopped.
"I missed the bus. They changed the schedule," Weir said. "It was every 10 minutes. Today it was every half-hour. I was late getting here and never caught up. I never felt comfortable in this building. I didn't feel my inner peace, I didn't feel my aura. That’s why I was so scared. Inside I was black."
Unfortunately, this is how divas react -- change one thing and they can fall apart. To be clear, Weir did not arrive late. He arrived at the arena 40 minutes before his skate; he usually gets there 30 minutes earlier. "A half hour means putting my outfit on, peeing twice and adjusting my skates," he said. "The costume is hard to get into. I have to squeeze myself in like a sausage." This is why I love Weir; the guy's hilarious even when explaining a screwup.
In the end, though, Weir was like many 21 year olds who can make mistakes by careless inattention. I would have thought someone in his position would have an army making sure everything was taken care of, especially the bus schedule. “It was never brought to my attention [the bus schedule] would be changed,” Weir said. “I guess it’s my fault because I didn’t bother to ask.”

从这两段话看,diva翻成“天后”还是不太对啊
