It's simply untrue that she doesn't look skinnier than before. The change has happened since the Olympics. Compare this vid of her Oly exhibition with her FS at NHK:

Olympics, see spin at 3:24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gki8u...embedded#at=31
NHK, see same spin at 2:02 http://www.examiner.com/figure-skati...ee-skate-video

At the Olympics, she was slim but strong. She had thighs (mirabile dictu). Now her legs are just sticks. It's scary. It takes away any pleasure I might have in watching her.
