Q: Hey Johnny. Love your skating, it's absolutely exquisite. Just wondering, who are your absolute favorite skaters from each discipline?
A: Irina Slutskaya, Evgeny Plushenko, Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze and Anissina/Peizerat.
;D
I might've missed something, and it's a interesting read, not only about Johnny, but also to get some background info about skating (so that's where the zippers on costumes are! ) and COI.
Enjoy!
Q: Hey, Johnny! From the moment I saw you skate at nationals and found out about your personality, you became my role model! Just want to say thanks for being an inspiration. I also saw you performing with COI in Providence and would like to ask you, who do you spend the most time with on COI, meaning who do you connect with most on the tour?
A: So far I have spent the most time with Irina Slutskaya, Marina Anissina, Tatyana Totmyanina, and Rudy Galindo. I connect really well with all of them.

Q: Hi Johnny! You are one of my favorite skaters! My question is I have heard through the grapevine that alot of U.S. skaters are competing for another country. This is so cop out don't you think? The people in my mind are doing it because they couldn't make it in the U.S. What's your opinion on this?? Good Luck this season
A: I actually have two students who have recently switched countries. Jenna Syken competes for Israel and Kati Hadford competes for Hungary. I think it's a great way to get back to your roots and also get some international experience. I don't think it's a cop out at all as long as they believe they're doing the right thing. Of course, moving to a country who is not strong politically in figure skating can be a challenge, but look at Marina Anissina. She left the most dominant country in the world of ice dance, Russia to compete for France who had very little success at the world level and she's a world and Olympic champion. That's certainly not a cop out.
