This weekend saw Spokane, Washington host the U.S. Men's Figure Skating Championships that in large part determined which men the United States would be sending to compete in the Vancouver Olympics next month in Vancouver, Canada.

The top three contenders were all past U.S. National champions and included Evan Lysacek, Jeremy Abbott, and gay fave Johnny Weir. Going in, Lysacek was considered the favorite, but both he and Weir finished behind Abbot who racked up a total of 263.66 points followed by Lysacek at 238.63 and Weir at 232.09 points. U.S. Figure Skating officials also chose the three to represent the U.S at next month's Olympic games.
