His feelings hurt at being snubbed by the US Olympic figure-skating hierarchy and not given a chance to make the team (they did not even tell him when the trials were taking place) and suspecting that time is running out for him to get a medal since he will be 50 by the 2018 Olympics, Will Ferrell goes on late night TV to show the world the routine he was planning to perform if he had been at Sochi, complete with the costume. It looks to me like he coulda been a contender.

The lack of a triple jump would have weighed against him.

Hilarious!
Wasn’t he in the movie Blades of Glory, where he played a figure skater?
shari says

In this day and age, he needs a quad to really make it.

Sadly the Olympics and skating authorities have some pretty backwards and misogynist as well as homophobic rules -- read this earlier today :

which kinda sinks the Blades of Glory movie idea at least for the time being.
