Thanks
I'm not antiSasha at all. What I found interesting from the comments is that she is hoping for a medal of any kind if she doesn't get the gold one. That, to me, it a different side of Sasha. It appears that she is losing that feisty aspect she once had. I had kind of liked her feisty ways.millie said:Orchid, as you call it usual blat, I think that Sasha's fans appreciate her candid responses to the questions that were asked her. I get a feeling, from the previous post from you about Sasha, that you have strong negative feelings towards Sasha for some reason. I know their are fans and non fans of skaters but you seem to use very strong and mean words whenever Sasha's name is mentioned.I thought about biting my tongue and not responding to your posts about Sasha but couldn't.

Millie, I totally agree with that. But I blame the interviewer for asking such insipid questions. It seemed like he didn't really know or care anything about figure skating as a sport.millie said:"...I think that Sasha's fans appreciate her candid responses to the questions that were asked her."
attyfan said:Maybe Sasha is beginning to believe all the "Irina has it in the bag" posts. I think her attitude -- a medal of any color -- is mentally more healthy than the "it has to be gold". How many people do you know who have Oly medals -- of any color?
I’ll bake cookies, cakes, and soufflés, even truffles.
The gold medals of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games have long since been conceded.nymkfan51 said:I can't remember an Olympics where the gold medalists were so set in stone, even before the competition.
