Don't really know if Johnny's really hurt or not but it seems he has other interests (modeling etc,) and skating isn't a priority anymore. I just wish that if his heart isn't in it anymore he would step aside and give someone else who's working and training hard a chance. I know there are skaters out there who would love the chance to be on the podium at Nationals.
If that someone waiting in the wings is working their butt off and still can't beat a johnny who doesn't have skating as a priority anymore then they don't deserve to be on the podium full stop. This is a competitive sport after all , people don't step aside to let others through - if you want it, beat them.
I think Johnny's doing just fine - he's doing modelling etc now that he has a lot of exposure as an elite skater which is good - skaters reitre at what...mid to late 20's...he still has 40 years of a career to get in after that and he's made no bones about saying he likes the world of fashion. I think he's doing just fine.
