Vancouver 2010 is no different according to Verrecchio, and "the message coming from the men's figure skating competition is that 'boys will be girls and girls will be boys,' and if you buy into all the hype, it's positively delightful!"

In a column that is sure to stir the passions of his readers both pro and con, Verrecchio points to what he called "an unspoken competition-within-the-competition in which many of the male figure skaters seem to be trying – be it through make-up, hair-dos, mannerisms or costumes - to out gender-bend the next guy."
