2010 Winter Olympics: Men's Skating "Fashions"

Sports

Photos from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver of men's figure skating fashions, Feb. 2010.

What's up with the fashion - or stunning lack thereof in men's figure skating - at the 2010 Winter Games? Sure, the Olympics brought back the Skeleton event a few Games ago but we think Kevin van der Perren of Belgium misinterpreted the memo.

Somewhere, director Tim Burton is thinking "Yeah, going with scissors? Good move." Evan "Featherhands" Lysacek of the United States inspires something -- though not fear, necessarily -- in this get-up.

There's almost something refreshingly in-your-face about the way Evgeni Plushenko of Russia sticks with the classic men's figure skating "nouveau Fat Elvis" look. Almost.

You know the Olympic skating "fashion" is out there when a purple vest and lavender shirt combo is literally the most understated outfit featured. USA's Jeremy Abbott looks conservative compared to his competitors in the short skate.

Disco didn't die. It skated in the 2010 Winter Games in the short program of Czech Republic's Tomas Verner.

Think Pink: American skater Johnny Weir? Well, he's just got a style all his own.
