Canada needs a number of things to improve its results. One is definitely more competition opportunities with finals,but the problem goes further. Canada needs to stop propping up its "chosen" lady. We have a good example right now. Whether her skate was good or not,Amelie Won and Cynthia didn't,and Cynthia behaved badly because she expects to win in Canada whether she skates well or not. For years,very good ladies have beaten their heads against a sure thing and have moved on to pairs or out of the sport when they could have been at the top of the heap.Im hoping that Amelie knocks the wind out of the queen at 4C and that next year Katelyn and one or two others come rocketing up and knock both out of the arena. The problem starts at the provincial Sections and continues right up to the top levels of Canadian skating. If our ladies were continually forced to meet the competition this wouldn't be happening.Isn't it ironic that the US champion changes yearly depending on her skte while ours go on forever however she skates?
