I think if the top 3 guys fell down twice and Johnny threw in a quad and skated perfect they STILL wouldn't give him a medal. The judges, the media seems like they are all trying to marginalize him, JMHO! Funny though that this morning his SP video was the most viewed video on the NBC Olympics site.

I thought Johnny was great in the SP. I didn't catch the jump error but it's clear on the protocols. I agree his second mark should have been stronger. I think it was a reaction to his style and costume by a group of very conservative judges.
I do not enjoy Evan Lysacek's skating (prepared to duck and cover now LOL). He overexpresses often making the movements jerky, particularly his footwork, and skating should never have a jerky quality to it. I also find that he uses his arms similarly, particualrly in his FW sequences in the LP, and it is distracting. The arm movements should complimnet the footwork, not distract from it.
