Red Dog said:"Everyone" is being used here as a generic term. Maybe they don't refer to (Cohen's mistakes) as a "meltdown" but they will say that "she blew it", she "could have won", etc. which basically leads to the same thing in my book: They expect(ed) more from her. "They" represents the people of the skating forums and the commentators as well.
At last the truth then - so by "Everyone" you mean "you" and by "meltdown" you mean "blew it"- no-one has said she's had a meltdown...saying that someone blew it and saying they had a meltdown are two very different things. One could argue that Pluschenko "blew it" in the SLC Olympics...he blew his chances of gold by falling on the 4Toe in the SP...did he blow it? Yep i think so, did he have a meltdown? Not at all - he fell on one jump. Same with cohen - if she has one mistake or two in a world competition - did she blow her chances of winning the gold? Certainly, did she have a meltdown? Let's see she stepped out of a jump and had a bobble elsewhere - certainly not!
