Wow, what a great attitude. Maybe I shouldn't be so pessimistic (realistic?) about Caroline's GP propsects, just to cushion the disappointment later on. Maybe I should feel excited about *her* chance to beat the big guns, too. You know research says that happy people tend to be overly optimistic, whereas depressed people tend to be more accurate in their predictions of the future? (see what realism gets you? nothing but depression!)
Go Caroline, show them all how it's done!
Truly! If you are a competitive athlete, naturally you want to test yourself against the best. I would be very disappointed in a skater who said, please don't make me skate against the world champion -- just match me against the small fry and let me squeak into the finals.
What if she makes the Olympic team? We won't be saying, oh dear, look at all those good skaters our poor Caroline has to face. We'll be saying...
Go Caroline, show them all how it's done!
