Well, One of those young girls (which the U.S. has four of) is bound to skate well under the pressure at the Olympics. We're just giong to have watch them grow and mature.

By the way,not trying to be rude or anything
but how come Tara Lipinski didn't ever have that problem on tour and stuff?
-
Like she said her PERSONAL life.That means she doesn't wan't people to know about it or assume what it was that was troubling her.How do you know it wasn't something else?

i think kimmie showed that her weaknesses and her strengths i think since she switched coaches to mr.callaghan her skating is now back on track and i think hes helping her to try and develop an artistic side

O yeah how many triples axels have you done lately? When she first came on the scene she didn't really have her hips which change your balance ALOT, I got them and my jumps went funny but now after alot of practice they are now bigger and loads better.

I worry that these young girls like Mirai and Caroline and Rachel in 2 years will be having the same problems that Kimmie is having right now. Even Michelle Kwan had problems when she was about 16 due to her gaining weight. And 2 years is the winter olympics.
It is so hard to watch Kimmie struggle. She filled such a void for U.S. figure skating when Michelle left and Sasha seemed to crumble in major competitions. She really did carry women's skating on her shoulders.
Now we are witnessing yet another changing of the guard. There are so many young talents coming up the ranks and she will have to find a way to use her mature body to her advantage and improve her artistry. She has to work if she intends to pose a threat at the Olympics in '10.

I think Kimmie got robbed on her Artistry department. She is clearly is most skater with beautiful artistry. Those younger are not up their yet. She should have given more point for her artistry. It should be about 59-60 range.
