I can't believe the unfair judgemental nasty comments that are typed here about poor Rachel. Its usually bitchy females doing this. I bet none of you can stand on skates let alone skate!!!Bloody nasty bitchy COWS!!!Get a life!!
she obviously has talent, how else would she get to the olympics? sure shes not the most graceful skater but shes so solid and technically consistent! you have to appreciate her jumps, shes not my absolute favorite but i completely respect her as a skater. all the people criticizing her arent anywhere near her level of skating let alone the olympics. and if you dont like her why are you watching the video? stop hating on her!
ok she's not the most talented. she's not sasha, she's not michelle. but she's pretty good for going to the olympics! and what a smart girl too. imagine having that schedule!
she may not have the talent, but she has the dedication. which is what skating is all about.

I think Rachael is a beautiful skater. If you don't think so then you need to stop searching her videos. I mean, if I hated someone, I wouldn't be watching their videos. Common sense people!(:
Rachel is 3 times smarter than nagasu though and remember that skaters such as Kim and Asada rarely go to school in their teens. Rachel goes to school everyday and performs better than the average students and wins a US champion in figure skating. It is hard to find as talented a kid as Rachel.
If they were competing at Scrabble that might matter, but Rachael being smart doesn't make up for being such a lousy skater who only gets anywhere because she works the system.
I think she has a good talent. But she doesn't have a greed for success, I guess. Now Nagasu's future is more brilliant than her. But I wish for her to be better in next season.
she might be a good skater, but sadly she looks fat and old next to those asian figure skaters. i thought she looked older than 30. its time to stop eating burgers and chips.
I think the medals for the olympics this year were fucking wack! Just my opinion though. They look like they were cooked in an oven all wobbly looking and shit!
@kimyunalmao I'm talking about the medals and said it was my opinion, so have your nice hot cup of shut the fuck up you fucking dildo sucking ass ball ramming fuck jaw bitch! And this is AMERICA all day you hating piece of shit. Fuck your face!
Ok, so it's not like she's the worst skater in the world, or even in the US but she definitely should not have done that well at the Olympics. She's not a pretty skater and she's no fun to watch. Her performances tend to be robotic in that they have no life and no spark that makes her special. Personally, I think that she is just a product of something with no talent being pushed her entire life to do something that she really is not that good at. She may be ok, but will never be awesome.
OMFG look at me both my parents are fucking loaded, I have been spoiled rotten my entire life and my daddy paid for me to get molded into an olympic skater. I am going to attend Stanford!... Seriously? stanford? Come on bitch that was impressive in the '80s and hardly classy, might as well go to boulder. Who fucking cares where you went for you undergrad work. Have fun with your 15 minutes of fame! Really glad you strengthened the stereotype of all Americans being snotty bitches! KUDOS!
@beerinmybelly - wtf man. stanford is one of the best schools in the US. and how does she come off as a snotty bitch?! is there something i missed? i'm very confused...
Rachael has dedicated her life to this and I am so proud of her for pushing through and going to the olympics so young. Keep it up girly, us Coloradoans think you are amazing!
well she may not have the best technical elements but what amazes me is how she puts her personality in her programs when most other skaters have very serious programs.
I think it is nice to see a healthy, normal sized female in figure skating...she is an amazing skater, plus she's still in school. That's more dedication than most people have. I'm glad she's doing so well.
I think until you can do what the figure skaters do, you should shut up. She is not fat. I am glad she is not a pre-teen, anorexic looking athlete. She does have grace. I am sorry for and pity Sasha Cohen fans who cannot get over the changing of the guard. I think it is amazing what the figure skaters do and you should cheer them rather than demean them.
she's a royal Bitch in person. she's immature, and is gonna have another fit on national television, and nbc wont be able to cover it up this time. she has no artisrty. i don't care what she looks like, it's her attitude thats ugly. her name fits her well too....
how the FUCK would you know.... were you there sitting next to where they sat waiting to get judged? no. cause if you were you'd know. and why would andrea joice ask her in her lp interview about it??? "i was dissapointed in myself" BULL FUCKING SHIT.......... whose the fool now, cause you obviously dont know shit
you know her? I noticed one thing after the olympic short program last night. she is really getting pushed forward but Mirai did a lot better than Flatt last night. Are her parents really rich or something? There's no way Flatt should have been ahead of nagasu. She's a good athlete but I think in a few years no one will remember her that much.
Lets see....cow on ice, pig on ice, Rachael FAT! That's really, really, really mean! Who are you guys to talk about her like that! Give me a break! Your a bunch of idiots who are FAT yourselves! sweetkitten111 was right you guys probably think up these insults to look cool! GUESS WHAT you sound like retards that came from a COW of a mother!

It must be so easy and make you feel so superior to sit behind your computer monitor and mouth off rubbish on youtube videos about people you don't know. She's doing what makes her happy.

@sweetkitten111 You rock! If you hadn't have said that, I would have! bitchyru is a pig! I bet if she/he tried any sport she/he would suck at it and then who would be the one made fun of now? Your a good person!
bitchyru. I can assure you I am no loser and I have great looks of my own that I would never give up for your farm animal features. Sure your attractive but only to farm animals. What I find funny is that your proud of that! Let me guess, your a stuck up little brat who says she is 18 but is really some 5th grader. Typical for a funny character like you!
Rachel - you're great and a wonderful role model...and this is a small thing in comparison to everything else, but pleeeaase bring back the white skate look in competition. Those stockings covering the skate make skaters look so much less elegant - the white skate is so classic and looks so much better with the dresses. The stocking look is too frumpy and orthopedic for the ice - it's sad to see it becoming such a trend. Bring back the white skate please! :0) Good luck to you in all you do!
@kimmijrockdork , where I come from we don't have 500lbs people./In US that seems to be pretty standart...It's all the sugar you eat, just so you know.
I'm sorry dumb ass but I see plently of other people in other countries that weigh 500 pounds dont act like you dont cause you do and you are one. Thank you dumb ass :)
wow I wouldn't be talking right now cause as far as I can see the U.S. is in first place and leading by 7 medals! So why dont you pay attention to people in your own country and stop trying to demean people who work ten times harder than you do.
She's a remarkable skater!!!! She can actually land her jumps and actually has some meat on her bones!!! She's not fat i have no idea why people call her that!!!? She is a contender for olymoic gold and she is my favourite skater!
At figure skating competitions, scores are given for technical elements and points are also awarded for program components. The total score given to figure skaters for the program components is called the component score. The judges give points on a scale from 0 to 10 for program components.
Wow i can't believe the awful things people are saying. she poured her heart into her performance and for people to sit here and make fun of her weight is INSANE! Shes the only one who didn't do a two toed landing and to be honest, i think it's refreshing to actually see a normal girl on the ice. And i know we all have our favorites, but now that its decided, shouldn't we just be supporting the girls who are going to bring home the gold for the USA and not bickering about who's skinnier?
sasha has a grace flatt doesnt unfortunately. flatt seems to have more agility though but still i am not a huge fan. i think she needs to work alot more on her grace and flexibility.
Would you guys stop posting stupid, negative comments on this video? Who cares if she looks chubby, we're all different. BESIDES, can you do a triple flip? Have you entered the US nationals, and gotten 2nd place? EXACTLY, SO SHUT UP.

Only is US can someone so fat become a FS champion. She needs to lose at least 15lbs to be allowed to even TRAIN . Grotesque! Lacks any grace whatsoever and her movements are totally clumsy.

Fuck you you ugly nasty cunt...I happen to like Rachel Flatt and AM GLAD ANOREXIC SKANK SASHA COHEN ISN'T GOING, SHE DOESN'T DESERVE TO...LIED ABOUT AN INJURY SO SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SKATE IN GRAND PRIX AND STILL COULDN'T MAKE THE TEAM AFTER BEING HELD UP IN THE SP WITH A TWO FOOTED LANDING ON HER COMBO...FUCK YOU BIGWADUPHERCUNTIE!
Yo "sashalovr"! how about you stop posting these absurd comments. When's the last time you were in the Olympics? No one cares what Rachael may or may not have said. After all she lost under a stupid technicality that anyone would have been pissed off about. Do you not realize how much you are just embarrassing yourself? Seriously go get a life bro. You're pretty creepy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@bloomandkaulitz , are you blind? Look at Sasha Cohen-the symbol of grace, beauty, elegance and then look at this obese potato sack. She doesn't even have a waist line FGS! Moves like a tractor!
not to mention her racial comments after the s.p. @ "nips" and "russians" not being american... i dont have this on video wich if i did i'd be TOP NEWS but nbc asked her @ flipping out at the l.p. and she sheepeshly denied it and said she was dissapointed in her skate.... check my seating on flickr and tell me i couldn't hear shit... it's the same name. all you supporters, just wait till she embarrasses the U.S. on worldwide television. go nagasu! and wagner, wich should be there, i'm sorry
i wish i could make a $10,000 bet that whatever happens.... she'll not only be forgotten in 10 years. but she won't be doing one of the most daring comeback attemps like sasha attempted at 10 years over the age. sasha's courageousness, flexibility, artistry and most of all, good attitude will not only never be forgotten... but will be legendary forever
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she's so fat that her skating looks somewhat like pig on ice. but let's face it. those azn bitches don't deserve to be skating along with her, as they're just pure monkeys...
She is far from chubby! You should be ashamed of yourself. Are you just saying that because the morphology of her face (a gift of her genes) happens to give her a rounder face?! She looks like a normal, healthy, athletic young woman! What a refreshing change! Every time I look at Sasha Cohen, I don't care how graceful she is, I get anxious that she's going to fall over. That is not a good thing! We should be congratulating her and wishing her luck. Petty people on here...
lol no, Rachael Fat is a total douche bag, "Bla bla bla, everyone elses score were inflated, it's not fair I was in 3rd after the short program" what a crazy bitch, and her annoying laugh.
Sasha is a breath of fresh air. Her falls are masked by the excellence of her SKATING.
Ok I am a bit appalled at some of the comments on this page [and several others involving Rachael Flatt]. Sasha Cohen isn't going to be around forever guys. These up and comers deserve a shot too. And unfortunately, the jumps and technical components earn a little bit more in the scoring system now. Cohen's artistry is wonderful but she has continually had problems skating clean programs.
I'm ashamed that Rachel Flatt's clunky skating is representing the US right now! No artistry in her skating at all!!! Such ugly skating! The only thing she has going for her is consistency in her jumps (and even that I am not impressed with). But her spins are terrible, her flexibility is just abismal, and her overall presentation is not worth watching!
Obviously figure skating is something without Sasha Cohen. One athlete doesn't "make" a sport. She can make it more popular, yes, but "making" a sport? Not so much.
And, I must ask, if Sasha has IT and no one else has it, why hasn't she won an Olympic gold/world gold/multiple national titles?
Rachel Flatt is only the current focus of our dismay. She's very admirable - and deserves a lot of credit. HOWEVER, it seems obvious that because of the scoring/rules changes someone skating from point A -jump -skating to point B -jump is the future of Women's skating! That's boring - additionally its dangerous. I give you poor Tara Lipinski. a poster girl for 16 yr old sport injury junk heap. Next step - teen skaters on steroids!
It seems like every time there's an up and coming US skater who's very good jumping wise, but doesn't match up to the artistic standards that Sasha has set. Kimmie Meissner got similar comments as well.
You can't blame the skaters for having so many jumps in their programs - it's necessary for them to remain competitive. It's similar to gymnastics - the scoring system changes and thus the athletes have to adjust.
because sasha's artistry exceeds placement or fucking titles. and beyond athleticism sasha went around the entire rink signing autographs. flatt, the worst attitude that's ever hit the ice. i didn't know this till i made eye contact and said hello 5 feet away from her and got a cocky nothing. then i saw her refuse a little girl an autograph and make her cry. then she denied being mad about her s.p. judging on national television. the girl's a disgrace and an embarrassment to the US. BREAK A LEG!
and unfortunately, artistry only gets a skater so far. I've loved watching her skate exhibitions - there's no pressure for her to do jumps and land them. I've cheered for her competively as well. I just don't understand how she can have this IT factor that no one else has and not be able to win the major competitions.
In terms of Flatt's attitude, I didn't see it, so no comment. But if you support US Figure Skating at all, I would hope that you would support the girls going to the Oly's.
Sasha makes Rachael Flatt look practically flat and boring. No substance. Sasha has energy, grace and pureness. Flatt may have energy, but she's awkward and she just doesn't have all the creative edge, that Sasha has. Sasha has artistry, Rachael just has the move, but with very little artistic expression. And Rachael just has the sharp edges but with very little control. And Flatt doesn't show any musical creativity like Sasha does.
Wow! I'm amazed at the comments on this page - the majority of you are saying that Women's Figure skating has actually been severely hurt by the new rules/scoring changes. You're saying that the programs have lost artistic feeling and GRACE.
You're saying young girls being asked to perform multiple triple jump passes is actually dangerous!
I agree 100%, you're absolutely and tragically right!
I think they need two categories in figure skating one for the younger skaters and the other for the more mature skater. They push these kids at too young an age to do to much.
If by "raising the bar quite a bit", DBIII means jamming programs so full of jumps, gestures and gimmicks that you can barely discern a real program,I suppose the bar has been raised. Too many skaters have tried that in the past, before the bar went up. We barely remember them, and with good reason. And "in her time' is insulting and reveals no sense of history. It's rather like saying that Mozart was a great composer in his time, but the composition bar has been raised.Greats remain great.
If the judging isn'tfix for yu na the was it is now ,Racheal shoud finish 1st or 2nd ,Ithinkshe can get 1st,Ashley will be right up there to,I say Flatt 1st Yuna 2nd and Wagner 3rd.
being more honest the Asian girls Yuna and the other one dont look that great!

wow I wouldn't be talking right now cause as far as I can see the U.S. is in first place and leading by 7 medals! So why dont you pay attention to people in your own country and stop trying to demean people who work ten times harder than you do.

The five components are:
•Skating Skills - skating ability
•Transitions - movement between elements
•Performance - style, carriage, unison
•Choreography - quality of the program's choreography
•Interpretation - a skater's expression and style figure skating is consist of two things: technical elements and
What about Flatt's performance and interpretation?::))))))
Figure skating is not only jumps:))
Methamphetamine36 1 year ago
At figure skating competitions, scores are given for technical elements and points are also awarded for program components. The total score given to figure skaters for the program components is called the component score. The judges give points on a scale from 0 to 10 for program components.

Wow i can't believe the awful things people are saying. she poured her heart into her performance and for people to sit here and make fun of her weight is INSANE! Shes the only one who didn't do a two toed landing and to be honest, i think it's refreshing to actually see a normal girl on the ice. And i know we all have our favorites, but now that its decided, shouldn't we just be supporting the girls who are going to bring home the gold for the USA and not bickering about who's skinnier?

Only is US can someone so fat become a FS champion. She needs to lose at least 15lbs to be allowed to even TRAIN . Grotesque! Lacks any grace whatsoever and her movements are totally clumsy.

She is far from chubby! You should be ashamed of yourself. Are you just saying that because the morphology of her face (a gift of her genes) happens to give her a rounder face?! She looks like a normal, healthy, athletic young woman! What a refreshing change! Every time I look at Sasha Cohen, I don't care how graceful she is, I get anxious that she's going to fall over. That is not a good thing! We should be congratulating her and wishing her luck. Petty people on here...
samt3579 2 years ago 2
lol no, Rachael Fat is a total douche bag, "Bla bla bla, everyone elses score were inflated, it's not fair I was in 3rd after the short program" what a crazy bitch, and her annoying laugh.
Sasha is a breath of fresh air. Her falls are masked by the excellence of her SKATING.
Hail2TheVictorsBaby 2 years ago 4
Flatt's program wasn't perfect, but it was techincally difficult. She's one of the few women in the country even doing a triple-triple combination.
Carolina20Forever 2 years ago
Ok I am a bit appalled at some of the comments on this page [and several others involving Rachael Flatt]. Sasha Cohen isn't going to be around forever guys. These up and comers deserve a shot too. And unfortunately, the jumps and technical components earn a little bit more in the scoring system now. Cohen's artistry is wonderful but she has continually had problems skating clean programs.
Carolina20Forever 2 years ago 2

heyimkristin 2 years ago
I'm ashamed that Rachel Flatt's clunky skating is representing the US right now! No artistry in her skating at all!!! Such ugly skating! The only thing she has going for her is consistency in her jumps (and even that I am not impressed with). But her spins are terrible, her flexibility is just abismal, and her overall presentation is not worth watching!
EyeMAbrain 2 years ago
What's figure skating without Sasha Cohen? NOTHING!
Honestly, Sasha could fall on all of her jumps and she'll still look better than Rachael or any of these young skaters coming up.
Sasha just has IT, that no one else has
Hail2TheVictorsBaby 2 years ago
Obviously figure skating is something without Sasha Cohen. One athlete doesn't "make" a sport. She can make it more popular, yes, but "making" a sport? Not so much.
And, I must ask, if Sasha has IT and no one else has it, why hasn't she won an Olympic gold/world gold/multiple national titles?
Carolina20Forever 2 years ago 3
@Carolina20Forever
Rachel Flatt is only the current focus of our dismay. She's very admirable - and deserves a lot of credit. HOWEVER, it seems obvious that because of the scoring/rules changes someone skating from point A -jump -skating to point B -jump is the future of Women's skating! That's boring - additionally its dangerous. I give you poor Tara Lipinski. a poster girl for 16 yr old sport injury junk heap. Next step - teen skaters on steroids!
railman55 2 years ago
It seems like every time there's an up and coming US skater who's very good jumping wise, but doesn't match up to the artistic standards that Sasha has set. Kimmie Meissner got similar comments as well.
You can't blame the skaters for having so many jumps in their programs - it's necessary for them to remain competitive. It's similar to gymnastics - the scoring system changes and thus the athletes have to adjust.
Carolina20Forever 2 years ago
Dangerous, yes. But sport evolves [again, gymnastics] and as it does, people go with it.
And truly, skaters on steroids? Let's leave that one to baseball please.
Carolina20Forever 2 years ago
because sasha's artistry exceeds placement or fucking titles. and beyond athleticism sasha went around the entire rink signing autographs. flatt, the worst attitude that's ever hit the ice. i didn't know this till i made eye contact and said hello 5 feet away from her and got a cocky nothing. then i saw her refuse a little girl an autograph and make her cry. then she denied being mad about her s.p. judging on national television. the girl's a disgrace and an embarrassment to the US. BREAK A LEG!
sashalovr 2 years ago 4
and unfortunately, artistry only gets a skater so far. I've loved watching her skate exhibitions - there's no pressure for her to do jumps and land them. I've cheered for her competively as well. I just don't understand how she can have this IT factor that no one else has and not be able to win the major competitions.
In terms of Flatt's attitude, I didn't see it, so no comment. But if you support US Figure Skating at all, I would hope that you would support the girls going to the Oly's.

Sasha makes Rachael Flatt look practically flat and boring. No substance. Sasha has energy, grace and pureness. Flatt may have energy, but she's awkward and she just doesn't have all the creative edge, that Sasha has. Sasha has artistry, Rachael just has the move, but with very little artistic expression. And Rachael just has the sharp edges but with very little control. And Flatt doesn't show any musical creativity like Sasha does.
waddleduckie1 2 years ago
Wow! I'm amazed at the comments on this page - the majority of you are saying that Women's Figure skating has actually been severely hurt by the new rules/scoring changes. You're saying that the programs have lost artistic feeling and GRACE.
You're saying young girls being asked to perform multiple triple jump passes is actually dangerous!
I agree 100%, you're absolutely and tragically right!

I think they need two categories in figure skating one for the younger skaters and the other for the more mature skater. They push these kids at too young an age to do to much.
lilyanneisme 2 years ago
If by "raising the bar quite a bit", DBIII means jamming programs so full of jumps, gestures and gimmicks that you can barely discern a real program,I suppose the bar has been raised. Too many skaters have tried that in the past, before the bar went up. We barely remember them, and with good reason. And "in her time' is insulting and reveals no sense of history. It's rather like saying that Mozart was a great composer in his time, but the composition bar has been raised.Greats remain great.
