^^Have you read that last few posts? Posters were assessing the performances of Jeremy, Evan, and Johnny. I merely responded to those concerns. YOU are the one who is being ridiculous.
Prob b/c there's something about his skating/ personality that doesn't attract tons of fans. To me, he is a phenomenal example of how someone with a zero natural talent but with very strong work ethics can achieve anything in life.
Just to put things in perspective, compared to everyone who ever takes skating lessons, anyone who achieves a double axel or passes the US senior tests (which require other skills) is easily within the top 10-20% of natural skating talent, combined with work ethic.
Anyone who makes it to the world medal podium is far far above that level. So anyone who stands out from that elite group as even more talented is truly exceptional.
Having less talent than the once-in-a-generation exceptionally talented stars is still a far cry from having "zero natural talented."
Someone with zero natural talent or bottom 10% would probably get stuck and quit before achieving a single axel.
I can't put everybody on my ignore list (ppl like mods), and I wouldn't want to do that.
Anyway, here is my contribution to this Jeremy thread: Miki Ando and Carolina Kostner are very pretty.
Uh, I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at. That was not a sleight on Jeremy. I'm supportive of Jeremy as well. Maybe, he might be better than Evan. However, we've only seen Jeremy do well at some competitions and then fold at others, as he did at GPF. Evan, however, has won 2 major international competitions. His scores are in the same league as former Olympians, whereas we don't know if Jeremy's phenomenal score 263 can be repeated in international competition. Jeremy and Evan are about equal in my eyes.
Regardless, I think US men have a very strong team going into Vancouver and have a very strong chance of medalling. I'm not picky as to whether it will be Jeremy or Evan.
Really, is this your own personal thread?
This thread was created partly in support of the American men going into Vancouver. I'm sure for many Americans it's not either/or as to who they would support in Vancouver.
Uh, no. This thread was created entirely for one specific skater. Check again.

What's interesting about that is, the only way you would know this is if you tried to do it -- probably over and over. '

while in competition mode his Lp has not grown on me(i love the sp)
I started this thread so a few of you would have a place to trash Evan

Now i need plush to skate in gala to bad romance and all my skating dreams will be fulfilled.
Thank you senorita. It's the sanest comment on the topic. I would add some people can not deal with a topic that is not about the ladies, and worse if no numbers are involvedPeople just we tend to remember the last skate and in the last skate Jeremy was awesome and won over Evan .
Dont compare scores from different competitions, gpf had only 6 skaters and the only one with quad in sp and lp was last. Marks were inflated there as they were in Euros also. No conclusions.
Lol the Isu ranking is hilarious!
Jeremy has only to skate as well at the Olympics as he did at Nationals. Remember Paul Wylie? He hadn't finished any higher than 10th at Worlds before the 1992 Olympics, but he skated his way to an Olympic silver medal.
I don't know why everyone is so down on Evan. His scores this season are phenomenal
He doesn't deserve those scores.
Say what you will about him, but he won the GPF fair and square. He's a tough competitor and that's his main strength.
