Johnny Weir Withdraws from Grand Prix Final Due to Injury
by Sal Zanca, Special to U.S. Figure Skating Online.
(12/16/06) - The U.S. Figure Skating Team suffered another blow to the hip, literally, when three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir withdrew from the men's event Saturday morning at the Grand Prix Final, about six hours before the competition.
“Yesterday in the short program I landed a triple Axel and it was perfect,” Weir said in a statement from the organizers. “Then I stepped forward and all of a sudden I had fallen. It (the hip) started to hurt later and it got swollen. This morning when I woke up I felt like I can't walk. I can't pull in the leg to jump.”
Weir landed a triple Axel early in his short program and then had a fluky fall shortly thereafter doing nothing. He got up and completed a triple Lutz-triple toe after that but then doubled an intended triple flip.
U.S. Figure Skating team doctor Joseph Zabilski examined Weir on Saturday and found similarities between Weir's injury and that of Evan Lysacek, who withdrew Friday.
“He landed on his right hip,” Zabilski said. “He had some swelling and stiffness overnight when he got up this morning … very stiff and very painful for him. It was a direct blow to the side of the hip. This morning he tried to loosen it up. He came out for his warm-up and could not take off and land his jumps very well.”
Zabilski compared Weir's injury to Lysacek's.
“It was on his (Weir's) takeoff leg as opposed to Evan's landing leg, He (Weir) had trouble pulling his leg in for rotation,” Zabiliski said.
Weir is a clockwise jumper while Lysacek rotates counterclockwise as the majority of skaters do.
“We determined that he (Weir) probably would not be able to jump. This is more of a bad luck type of situation. Both were feeling good up until that moment,” Zabilski said.
He also said that Lysacek's condition had not worsened before the two-time World bronze medalist left St. Petersburg.
“I looked at him this morning. He was able to walk relatively comfortably and didn't need crutches. We had them ready. I watched to see how he was walking and how he is moving.”
But still he was cautious about Lysacek.
“It may take another day or so before we know the full extent of the injury, but it certainly does not appear to be getting worse,” Zabilski said.
短节目那个摔，本来以为没什么呢，没想到这么严重，隔夜就肿了，和Lysacek情况差不多。短节目里面他还接着做了一个勾手三周接后外点冰三周，后内点冰三周做成了两周。今天早上起床时，他说走不动路，医生说伤到了起跳腿（Lysacek伤到了落冰腿），一时跳不了了。另外医生说Lysacek情况基本稳定，但定论还为时过早。Weir在比赛前6小时决定退出。（美国冰协本来趾高气昂，说他们的运动员最多，现在就这么惨淡收场。日本冰协也类似。）
