This was on the cover page of Times Union Sports section (Albany NY main paper):
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStorie...55&category=SPORTS&BCCode=&newsdate=2/19/2004
The article main feature is the lack of guys in figure skating in the northeast region.
I read with interest the latest discussion in the Worlds thread on how general public in NA views figure skating. Not to defend Youarewhipped (and I certainly don't agree with most of the comments/statements she made) - but the article does point out that the general public sees FS as a "girly" sport. It is very sad, in Europe it is not viewed that way.
The link doesn't show it, but fondly enough, Johnny Weir photo was a part of the article (in addition to this local guy Morrow, and Sinek and Handra - who coach in the area).
Again, I am just a messenger, so don't assume I feel the same way or that I support youarewipped comments that Johnny should change his style.
Cheers, Yana
