johnny is definetly a refreshing new face and i cannot wait to see what he develops into with more experience. i think he's going to be truly, as dick would say, first rate

It's so nice to read unsolicited hype of a skater.

Johnny may well be the saving grace of US Men's Figure Skating. It's really no surprise to me since I picked him out of the lineup at 2002 Nats as the only US skater in the mix to actually skate basics.

I hope he continues and makes a good showing at Worlds, and maybe, just maybe, get a medal.

Nice article--but isn't Michael W. a THREE time U.S. champ and not two, as stated in the article?

Thanks for posting this, MissFlick. I always enjoy Joanne Barnas' atricles. She write a lot about local up-and-comers for the Detroit area, too.

I am not fan of Dick, but I enjoy his comments at Nationals. I think he tends to be more attentive and kinder at Nationals then he is at International events.
