With all that talk about her confidence, I think we now have an answer. That said, I hope she's not counting on the system to reward her. Kwan will still win if Cohen flubs and leaves the door open, IMO.
The hype begins. She's already plastered on this Olympic preview issue. I knew it.

The constant media attention on Kwan is something Cohen does not find distracting to her own skating. "I am used to it by now. It happens every year [with people saying], 'It is title No. 7, No. 8, No. 9.' It is usual. That is what nationals are about," Cohen said. "She is going in defending a title. She is a very strong skater. She has won five World and nine U.S. titles. But this year with the new system, I think things will be a little different. I have improved and hopefully everything will turn out a little differently."
