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.

Flatt is definitely not the U.S. champ that Michelle was.

[MsPelicanus]

being more honest the Asian girls Yuna and the other one dont look that great!

[MsPelicanus]

geez you American bitches are still trashing a perfectly lovely very good figure skater again. Why all the hate???Jealous??

[pelicanus11]

Geez give the poor girl a break. She OBVIOUSLY CAN SKATE WELL in order to get into the Olympic team!!!!!! Damn jealous bitches!!

[pelicanus11]

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!!

[d2rsplayer]

You guys are assholes... Just shush since none of you could what she can

[gentrysnavat]

They should change her name to Rachel FAT! .. I mean look at those thunder thighs!

[jrob1130]

i like her smile:)

[cherrygirl016]

c'mon how can she be a terrible skater? she may not be as entertaining as other skaters, but she made it to the Olympic- sh'e obviously not bad!!

i think she's really cute

[TheHolysalchow]

Wow so much haters...She does look like a toad though....her skating sucks of course..

[cbarragan9]

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!
