I feel a nightmare coming on ....
Johnny Weir arrives at US Nationals with a still-injured foot and further aggravates the injury during practice. He manages to get through the short program but falls apart in the long program. After falling three times, he aborts his long program - 2003 deja vu.
Timothy Goebel arrives at US Nationals with an injured back and a body that is all out of alignment. He struggles through practices and skates a short program that is on par with last year's short - terrible and full of falls. He withdraws prior to the long. After consulting with his physicians and physical therapists, all of whom advise him that he will never be able, physically, to land consistent quads, he announces his retirement from competitive skating.
Michael Weiss arrives at US Nationals uninjured, but he has terrible practices. He falls on his triple axel in the short, falls on his quad and the triple axel in the long program, yet wins the US title.
Matt Savoie arrives at US Nationals nursing a hip injury and falls several times in both programs. He wins the silver medal, nonetheless.
Ryan Jahnke arrives at US Nationals uninjured, but he falls on his triple axels in both the short and long programs. Still, due to the disasters that fall on Weir and Goebel, and the poor skating displayed by the rest of the men, he wins the bronze medal.
At this point, I wake up. Whew!!
