I don't think it's anymore "laughable" to say that people who see her medalling or even winning as it was 4 years ago when the Sarah contingency said she would not only beat Sasha in the standings but win the whole thing (ok so there was a smaller number saying that than MK fans but still).
I like Meissner but really what has she done compared to Sarah Hughes going into 2002? Hughes was a reigning World bronze medalist, and 2 time GP final bronze medalist. Meissner is a skater recently out of the juniors, who has not even medaled in her GP assignments, who gets PCS scores a full 1.5+ per category lower than her competitors who plans difficult jumps but is not consistent with them for 2 programs. I dont see her situation going into Turin as being Hughes-like at all.
