http://www.usfigureskating.org上的新闻，关于weir的：
Weir had a disastrous practice Friday morning, but in his short program he still opened up with a triple Axel. It looked like all would be well.
Then he suddenly fell.
“I fell on nothing,” Weir said. “I have no idea (what happened). I think I went a little crazy with my arm and knocked myself over. It was funny. I wanted to laugh when I got up, but it's competition and you can't do that.”
He said he was tired.
“I slept three hours since I have been in St. Petersburg,” he said. “That can play a part when you are trying to be a good sportsman. It is rough out there.”
However, he pointed out that a number of the U.S. athletes who qualified for the Grand Prix Final have had difficult seasons.
“It has been a very rough year for the Americans who have made it here,” he said. “In general Tanith, Ben, Evan and I did the entire tour through August and had no time to prepare. It is not an enviable position but at the end of the day we have to pay our bills so we do the tour to make out money.”
星期五（短节目这天）早上的时候weir的练习显得非常惨淡，但短节目开始他还是做了一个三周半，看上去一切都会好起来。
然后他突然摔倒了。
“我没什么感觉”weir说“我不知道（发生了什么）。我想我的手臂姿势有一点狂乱，把自己打倒了。比较搞笑。起来的时候我都想大笑，不过这是比赛所以不能。”
他说他很累。
“自从来圣彼得堡以来我才睡了三个小时，”他说“当你想做一个好选手的时候这会有一些影响。事情很不容易。”（weir的家乡和圣彼得堡有8小时时差，虽说比赛时间相当于家乡时间上午11点，但是训练可是家乡时间半夜里。一般来说倒时差是以每天一到两小时进行的。）
他指出部分进入大奖赛决赛的美国运动员进入了艰难的赛季。
“这一年对来到这里的美国运动员来说很不容易，”他说“一般地说，Tanith, Ben, Evan和我整个八月都在巡演，没有时间准备。这不是一个令人羡慕的职业，我们要给自己买单，所以我们要巡演来挣钱。”
