I hope the skate gods answers your prayers and there is a Russian sweep. That will teach the Americans a good lesson for going against their own, meaning Sasha. You should be proud of what you have not what you had. She is your only hope for a gold medal. Why not support her?

RD didn't say that he wanted a Russian sweep just that he expects it to happen.

Piel,
Sasha is not in the spotlight and never has been. The USFSA only promotes one skater and its been that way for years. If they expect the international judges to take her seriously they need to show their support. I can see why Tara has bad feeling about her experience with the USFSA. They play favorites and I blame them for her problems with the press--she is on her own there.

Peggy here was her chance and what did she do? So what are you complaining about?

Say what you want about her skating Kwan was a great ambassador for USFS and they knew and appreciated that. Just how did USFS fail to promote Cohen? She got her share of GP assignments. What did they not do? Once SC won the national title they replaced kwans pic on their banner with Cohen as they should have. One more time...all Sasha had to do was beat Kwan at nationals and she would have been on the banner sooner. Why do you begrudge Kwan so much, did she pee in your cheerios?

Sasha has said more than once that she loves being in the spotlight. She has recieved her fair share of press.

OK, here's the deal in a nutshell.
and they'll say the method of training wasn't good enough, etc.

Sandra Bezic will say that too, since she knows everything.

I thinki it is a good strategy for Sasha. She does get distracted and when she hyped, she doesn't do as well.
