what is time4change64 talking about, im an ice skater and i no how hard skating is and how much effort you need to put in to win a competition, just face it this little girl a very good ice skater and you can't take that away from her, and i have been to hundreds of competitions and they don't place bets on children

Thanks. Did you see Lauren's latest video? I put the link above in Video responses. Check it out.

these kids do put effort and there is nothing bad about watching these videos! i agree with HabboDJScarlet! this little girl didn't do anything bad! She just went on ice and put all her effort in her skating and i bet you time4change64 you don't even skate!!!!!!!!!!! because if you had to put skates on and start to skate better than her that would probably be impossible! so just think about it and never write a comment again unless you are going to be nice! AND AGAIN JUST THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your perspective.

It is just terrible that these retarded kids are forced to compete in these things for the enjoyment of normal people. I even understand that there is gambling on these events. Its not much different then dog fighting events. You people involved in this should be ashamed of yourselfs

[dmiller722]

I suspect you are just being antagonistic intentionally, but just in case you are being serious...no one has forced Lauren to compete. She loves skating which is apparent and she is a Global Messenger for Special Olympics. My guess is she'd blow you away in a competition if you ever had to put on skates.

thats great that people make the special olympics for kids with disabilities so they can follow their dreams :)

[dilahk927]

u must be very proud of your little angel...God bess her skating dreams and may she win more and stay happy.

@time4change64 you know, how would it feel if you were called retarded, ya i know these kids have problems but it's just plain rude. How could you compare a person to a dog? You should feel ASHAMED!

@otakgood Yeah it is. I sang it for my talent show in 4th grade! :-)

@chloebeth2 skating isnt hard, and if you put everything into skating it so easy to win.
