Piel said:Kimmie IS the World Champion and finished higher than any other U.S. skater this season. She deserved two skates more than anyone else, especially for U.S. audiences. This is such an exciting time for her, it's fun to get to see it.

And the Cohen fans?Red Dog said:You Kwanfans are easily amused...I mean satisfied.

ladybug said:I think they interviewed Michelle after her first skate so they didn't show the interview. Maybe that was the same for Sasha.
RD - I understand your backing up Sasha. I don't think you were part of that group who wanted Kwan to retire, and I understand that group is having second thoughts that we just may be seeing Sasha in Vancouver (if she gets out of US Nats.). It seems two strikes going for a third. I hope to put a new thread on what the members of GS think about going for a third or in Kwan's case a fourth. I don't buy that onedayatatime.Red Dog said:I agree with a poster on another thread who said that many of the same Cohen fans who were mad about Kwan continuing to compete are now reconsidering since their favorite has expressed interest in continuing to three. At the same time, though, Kwan was a dominant skater at the time so more people wanted her to leave to "make room" for other skaters. You could say that for all veterans, though...i.e. that spot Cohen took up on the 06 worlds team could have been given to Katy Taylor who I'm sure would have loved to go, unlike her, and gotten some experience. Kimmie and Emily would have kept three spots, anyway. It goes on and on.

But that was not my point. My point was you wrote "You Kwan Fans...." that implies you were saying ALL Kwan Fans. That's a no no in guidelines. The only clarifier to use is "SOME Kwan Fans". which is what I should have wrote instead of being sarcastic with Sasha.
