Johnny + Nike: Just Do It!

---

Kayso I'm just popping up for air long enough to shriek at anyone who'll listen quietly note that HEY NIKE IS ACTIVELY SEEKING AN OUT GAY ATHLETE TO SPONSOR, according to a recent report in Towle Road, quoting from Bloomberg, and JOHNNY IS ACTIVELY INTERESTED, as is apparent from his tweeted photo above. 

Obviously this is a match made in sponsorship heaven. Plus, the guys have asked for fans' help in capturing Nike's attention and showing them that a partnership with Johnny is exactly the opportunity Nike has been looking for:

"Believe in Yourself"

Johnny at his first Rostelecom / Cup of Russia practice 

on November 8—before the short program, 

before his injury, before he had to make 

the excruciating decision to withdraw 

from both his Grand Prix events.

To close out the week, we have the first set in a huge series of practice picspam from the lovely and generous Elena Vasileva. I was going to edit these down to just one set of highlights from the entire series, but as I was clicking through all 190+ shots, I was so drawn into them that it felt as though I were there, following his every movement on the ice, spellbound, as always.
