2008 US Nationals Results:

Johnny Weir wins Silver

In an unprecedented result, Johnny and Evan Lysacek finished with the same overall score -244.77 but because Lysacek had the higher free skate score, which is used as the tiebreaker, Johnny wound up with the Silver medal in the Mens Championship event.
