Discussing weight issues is a legitimate topic when it is related to sports (many have weigh-ins.) Weight is something that can be controlled. I work periodically to keep mine under control--have just lost 8 pounds with more to go. So I speak from experience. And I know that any good coach will discuss this with his figure skaters. If not, he is remiss. Emily is very attractive--and I agree that she should not be classified as fat. But as said earlier, there is probably an ideal weight for any skater, and it is up to his/her coaching team (which hopefully includes a physician or physical trainer) to advise. I would like to see Emily in condition to skate her very best. After all, she is world class and extremely popular with skating fans.
P.S. We know what happened to sister Sarah following her Olympic win and how it seriously affected her jumps....Enough said, from me!!!
