CHICAGO (SNARKY) –- He may lack a sequined outfit like Johnny Weir and he probably couldn't land a triple-axel to save his life, but Chris T. feels at home on the ice as any figure skater in Torino, Italy.
That is why the news of a torn knee ligament and an Olympic dream deflated was so crushing to the Chicago man.
During a preliminary skate at the Millennium Park rink, T. fell awkwardly injuring his knee. His skating partner and girlfriend, Nina G., was unhurt in the Valentine's Day fall.
An MRI at Northwestern Memorial Hospital yesterday revealed a severed meniscus and other related damage to the T.'s right knee.
"It appears as though my Olympic figure skating career is over before it ever really began," said a decidedly-heterosexual T. as he iced his leg. He continued with the ubiquitous Seinfeld quote: "I'm not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that."
