For Michael Weiss, that time appears to be a long, long way off.
Bravo!!! It's his decision. Only time will tell whether the decision was good or not.

BronzeisGolden said:I've really become more of a Michael fan the past 2 seasons. It isn't really because of his glorious skating, but more for his drive and dedication. He is a grown man with a very adult life with very adult commitments (marriage, children, extended family, etc.), but he goes with his heart and keeps plugging away. He has never skated cleanly in all phases of a competition....I think that is what he is waiting for....and so are we. I'd love to see him have a Wylie moment at either Worlds or the Olympics.
What she said! Although I have enjoyed Michael for close to ten years now...not always enjoying his skating, but liking HIM.
It seems that I'm the only one who actually liked the choreography we saw in last year's Henry V SP and the patriotic medley LP. While not as good a CoP technician as Weir or artist as Buttle, Weiss' programs did have good transitions. What hindered him was his continuing battles with 2-footed quads, skidding takeoffs on triple axels, and skating which did not seem nearly as inspired as it should have been for a LP ending with the triumphant Battle Hymn of the Republic. I imagine that in the hands of a more confident and consistent skater the shoot-the-duck into the triple lutz, straight-line footwork, and spin combo would have been a quite good finale.RealtorGal said:WHEN is he going to realize that his wife is at best a mediocre choreographer?
