that's what I thought. Evan, as far as I know, hasn't been with SOI since his Olympic win.
I am a fan of neither Evan or Johnny but I have a feeling in time Johnny will be more remembered than Evan, even with Evans Olympic and World titles. I also think Johnnys future as a show skater is brighter, once Stars on Ice goes under (and it will soon) Evan wont be in demand anywhere. Europe, Asia, and even Canada, dont give a toot about seeing him skate, and he is no draw there.
Evan is tall dark and handsome.

Everyone knows he's a hard worker ... but I just can't see past that tan. :disapp::scowl:
Me either, but I think Evan is going to be just as popular or in demand as Johnny b/c of his competitive cred. People want to see big name skaters, and though Evan is not at all my favorite skater (far from it b/c I don't care for his style of skating), there are lots of people who like him well enough to buy tickets.
Many outside the U.S probably have already forgotten who won the last mens Olympic Gold.
And the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that...
Considering every half serious skating fan in Europe and Asia knows the names Plushenko and Yagudin like the back of their hand still your point would be an epic fail.
Yes. He's more in the Alexei Urmanov range. He did his best work on that one important night, but I doubt that any of his performances are on anyone's "I'll Never Forget" list the way that, for example, Yagudin's Man in the Iron Mask is.
I'd agree that Evan or better to say his olympic win won't be as remembered as Yagudins or Plushenkos... but hey, I don't even think that's mainly his fault - if someone says 2010 Olympics, I instantly remember this awesome, awesome ladies event!
Lovely ladies with lovely performanes... the men's event as a whole couldn't stack up at all. In 2010 it was definitly ladies night :yes:

I am delighted for the half serious skating fans of Europe and Asia! :yes: As for the U.S., I will try an experiment. I will ask the next 50 people I meet if they can name the last four Olympic gold medalists in men's figure skating. :agree:
