Figure Skating Rivalry Pits Athleticism Against Artistry
They are the best figure skaters of the U.S., and this is the only thing what they share. Actually, these two skaters, Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir differ vastly, from every aspect.
One stands 6 feet 2 inches, wears panther black, the other weighs an avian 125 pounds, favors sequined swan outfits and coyly brushes off patter about his sexuality. Evan Lysacek skates with precision and adrenalized power, wants figure skating in the X Games while Johnny Weir who is asked if his eyelashes are real and announces that they are,.adores skating’s operatic performances. To sum up the difference of the opposite types, Evan Lysacek is an athlete who was once hockey player and Johnny Weir is an artist who causes the people’s assumption of being a gay by judging his personality and his package, calling music the most important part of his sport.
And as a result of the big difference and disagreement between the two skaters, they do not like each other, but they both have their fans backing faithfully their athlete and artist.
