Yes. I actually (gasp) agree here! Well, I wouldn't call it a MAJOR upset, though- although it would be a surprise to many skating fans.

She had an awesome skate at Japan Nationals, and earlier today I rewatched her performance at 2004 Worlds. It was wonderful. She skated with a lot confidence and fire. If she has similar performances at the Olympics, I don't know, you may get your wish.

Does it matter what the US media treats their stories? Does the Russian media treat Irina differently than other national skaters?slutskayafan21 said:Ok you are right, but do you think the U.S media/announcers/insiders would treat it as a major upset if it happened?
Yet, no Kwaniacs whinning why Michelle does not earn some ruble or some endorsment from Russian enterprice.euterpe said:You'd better believe the Russian media treats Irina different from the other skaters! Irina is much bigger in Russia than Kwan is in the US. She is a megasuperstar, especially now that she is the OGM favorite.
