Also to Momjudi, Evan has either been injured or ill the past two seasons at Worlds and the Olympics, or has everyone forgotten? Evan had a stress fracture in his hip 2004-2005. The flu that he had at the Olympics, where he jumped from 10th to 4th, turned into a bacterial infection, but he went to Worlds and took the bronze medal again while still on medication. He also has nagging, chronic bursitis in his hip, which caused him to withdraw from last season's GPF. He came back full steam 6 weeks later at Nationals and we all know what happened there.
I hope both skaters are healthy and uninjured. I worry all the time about the health of all of the skaters. The level of difficulty they skate these days is very dangerous. They all have had stress fractures. Johnny's stress fractures was when he was 16. He should be over it now. The undiagnosed mono didn't seem to curtail any other of his activities, although it certainly would slow down his training. If he had any sense, it would have slowed him down elsewhere also.
My very last statement on JW is this: I am very tired of hearing all of the excuses being made to defend him. JW needs to defend himself with his skating. Perhaps when I see that, at the same level all the other skaters in the world are striving for, then, and only then, will I have some respect for him.
