The way she flails her arms around is not very attractive.  Grace is not her strong point that is for sure.

Much better program for her. But that footwork sequence. I'm not sure who was having the seizure - me or her!

me thinks that the men are better now.....

Her jumps are Ok because she has the best coaches in the world.But they have no quality. And no matter how much choreography they give her she does not have grace. HAH !!!! And it did look like she was having a SEIZURE during all her footwork.

GO RACHAEL!!! AMAZING. JEALOUS PEOPLE, COULD NEVER MATCH UP. NEVER!

I'm personally just not a Rachael Flatt fan. I don't think her skating is pretty or graceful and a lot of her jumps are under rotated (no artistry or tech). She's just not really very good. Her layback and catch-foot spins are really just not good at all (and it's not entirely her fault because she has back problems). Her footwork sequence is pretty good if you only pay attention to her legs/feet. Call me crazy but arm flailing isn't particularly pretty or graceful looking in my opinion...

@joebarrish Lol! :D

@macerface Exactly. And plus at her level, you can't really be fat at all. She trains really hard just like other skaters, and they don't gain weight when they are in training. Skaters burn so much calories an hour, and we gain leg muscles, especially including the gluteous maximus.

@filipinoICEsk8ter i agree, shes definitely not fat. people are too damn critical. she HAS to know how to keep herself healthy being a us champion. you dont get there eating donuts. some people just gain weight when going through puberty, and her genes probably attribute to her not being a stick either. i'm the same way as her, i was never a skinny girl when i was competitively skating. point is, who cares if shes not as skinny as most other girls, thats not what makes the skater.

Even though Rachel has a injured ankle ,still in order to compete with the japenese and china she's going to have to lose 10 pounds to equal there height to weight ratio,she'll be able to spin quicker .but boyfriend wise ,her figure is Great now ,the off season she can gain the weight back.I still Love the way she's skates ,especially when she starts to go into her spins ,she dips down and looks like she's going to fall.
