由于种种原因,Weir取消了2月13日在莫斯科举行的“Tarasova六十岁生日庆祝演出”。
Weir在官网留言,对不能成行表示遗憾,向买票的俄冰迷道歉,向老太太道了生日祝福,同时也隐晦地解释了其中的原因。
Hello everybody. I am very sad to say that I will not go to Moscow to perform in the Tatiana Tarasova Jubilee show on 13 February 2007. I have been planning on performing in the show for Tatiana Anatolievna's birthday since December. I was very sad to find out that I wouldn't go. Due to new policies within my federation, I am unable to perform. Everyone tried their best to get me to Moscow, but it isn't fair to treat me differently than the other skaters on the US team. I am very sorry to all of my fans who have bought tickets to the show. I wish I could perform for you, but I suppose we will have to wait. Thank you for your support and for supporting Tatiana Anatolievna's show. Please enjoy the show and wish Tatiana Anatolievna a happy birthday from me. I will be in Russia as soon as I can to perform for you all. Spasibo, spasibo, spasibo! -Johnny
Weir说,不能参加这次演出他感到非常难过。去年12月起他就开始为演出做准备,但到现在才发觉自己无法成行。而原因便是美国冰协内部制定的新政策。Weir还表示,在这件事上美冰协对他是“特例特办”,言下之意就是如果换成其他选手根本不会是这个局面,所以他觉得很不公平。
同时,Weir的官网已有了更新。“二月热词”出炉,新的手记也已发布。在手记中他也谈到了这次不能赴俄演出的原因。
I am supposed to be doing a show in Russia next week, but I am still unclear about going or not. I didn't compete in the Four Continents Championships so my federation thought I shouldn't go to Moscow to perform in a show. I am still unclear about everything, but I know everyone is trying to reach common ground, Russia, USA, myself and all my peeps. In related news, Four Continents. I chose not to go as soon as the event ended in Spokane, it was mainly my coaches decision. I need new skates and competing one week after Nationals, in altitude, is hard and I prefer to be ready for Worlds and be healthy. I have done Four Continents once in my career and I didn't have Worlds after, so I know I made the right decision. In the last four years I haven't even considered doing the event because the timing is usually so rough, just after US Nationals. I have no regrets about that event.
Weir说,因为他没参加四大洲锦标赛,所以美国冰协就没允许他到莫斯科参加演出。
他说还没完全搞清楚是怎么回事。虽经各方努力,但美冰协还是未允许他赴俄参演出。他放弃参加四大洲赛主要是他教练的意思。全美结束后他要换冰鞋,4CC的比赛地又在高原,在这样的情况下还要连续应战对他来说很不容易,所以为了身体健康,也为了全力备战世锦赛,他选择放弃4CC。他还说在以往几年,全美结束后他都不参加4CC,只有一次,他没参加Worlds的资格,所以参加了4CC。基于此,Weir表示并不后悔放弃4CC。
手记里Weir还谈了他全美的情况,他参加Heatherette走秀的情况,还谈对那场臭名远扬的脱口秀的看法。他期待着自己能在东京世锦赛能有好的表现。全文译文会由我或其他网友在稍后送上。

我想怎么网上一直没Weir到莫斯科的消息呢,大概是没去。刚才上网看消息,果不其然。起先我还一阵窃喜呢,心想大少这回总算觉悟了,但了解其中的原由后却开始担心起来。一来,退出演出并不是Weir的意思,其实他还是很想去的,说明他的主观认识并没有提高;二来,貌似这次是美国冰协下了禁令,所以Weir才没能成行。而且听他的口气,美冰协是有意针对他,换做其他选手,冰协根本不会阻止。
其实他说的什么换冰鞋,连续应战,高原地形,统统不是理由,更不能成为借口。Lysacek,Bradley都是连续应战,而且马上都要参加Worlds的,不都参加4CC,而且比得不错嘛~~
有点担心Weir,如果他的成绩再消沉下去,又老和冰协对着干,我真怕美国冰协会封杀他~~
