Article about Evan and Johnny

I came across this article about Evan and Johnny. I thought I would share it with you all.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The more Evan Lysacek tries to downplay his rivalry with Johnny Weir, the bigger it gets.

They're the two best male skaters the United States has, and two of the best in the world. They're chasing the same medals and the same titles, glories that can't be shared. And at a time when the United States is searching for new stars, their back-and-forth on the podium is the best thing going.

But getting one of them to acknowledge it, Lysacek in particular, is tougher than a quadruple jump.

While there's no animosity between the two — "I'm not going to beat anyone up or hit someone in the knee,'' Weir said

Oh Johnny

That still leaves room for a wedgie ;-)

"(Coach Frank Carroll) says, `Mind your own business in every respect of word,''' Lysacek said. "Don't think about anybody else. The less energy I spend thinking about somebody else is more energy I can put into my own skating, and that's where I want my energy to be.

Just concentrating in a competition on his own work, skating, is great strategy, in my opinion.

It is also implicit admission of their long-lasting bickering. It makes the drama even more interesting. Keep on fighting brothers!
