For all of you lucky enough to get the Sundance Channel, it looks like you’ll have an interesting series next year. "Black Swan Rising" is going to debut in 2009 and it’ll follow Johnny Weir as he skates toward the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
I think Weir is the perfect subject for a television show like this. Since it’s on Sundance it will hopefully not be just another exploitative reality show – maybe it'll be a bit more of a balanced documentary-style presentation. And Johnny seems very open with interviewers and television crews, so he’ll probably be right at home chronicling his road to the Olympics. I’m very excited about it and a little bit jealous…but perhaps the show will be looking for a recent journalism school graduate with documentary experience to join the production team (hint, hint!!!).

Unbelievable. I pay $200+/month for cable and Internet, yet I don’t get Sundance. Where is the justice in the world?

I don’t get it either! I’m moving soon though so hopefully my next cable provider will include it, I know I’m going to want to watch the show.

Nope, philliesnation, that is not a woman in the photo. It is most definitely a man. He also happens to be a three-time National champion, a World medalist, and an Olympic athlete. How about showing a little respect?

Thank you Brandi, I could not have said it better myself…

Besides, if nothing else, the title Black Swan Rising clearly denotes his masculinity.
