Didn't I read that she put on a few extra pounds and the men in SOI were complaining too heavy to lift? Well, too much weight for solo skating will not win me over either, but then again I do not watch show skating.
Ever notice how whenever sarah hughes comes up - someone must call this remarkable young woman fat? Isn't it enough that she won the olympics, successfully competed for years at the highest levels, not only gained admittance to a top school but also graduated and by all accounts is a true role model - but the conversation moves to how three men had to pick her up? Maybe they're just wimpy... This weight obsession drives me crazy...

But look at the video footage(if you or your friends recorded it) of Sarah Hughes' last full ice show tour("Stars on Ice") where she was indeed quite overweight. And she was indeed lifted by three men. Or you can see the still photos at www.scratchspin.com
Ughhh, she was NOT overweight! She developed into a HEALTHY women's body with breasts and hips.
Her breasts & hips are not the issue. It's her legs that appeared overweight.

I just saw pictures of Sarah graduating from Yale. She looks great and happy. Really nice to see. I'm curious to see what she will do next. Does anybody know?
Are her legs bigger compared to her amateur skating days? Sure. Are they overweight? Absolutely not. She was two years removed from elite training, probably having the time of her life in University and getting back on the ice for a fun skating show. She looks happy and healthy in those pictures so that is all the matters.
I can't imagine Disson looking to hire [Emily Hughes]. She is not entertaining to draw viewers into the arenas or turn to on the TV channels, imo. Let us see what she can do at Eastern Sectionals. If she skates well, I will be the first to welcome her at US Nats, where at the moment I am looking forward to seeing: Caroline; Rachael; Mirai; Kimmie; Wagner, Czisny and, of course, Sasha.
since I do not follow 'show' skating unless there is nothing more on TV for me to watch. . I like competitions between individuals (Golf,Tennis, figure skating, Diving, etc.) as well as the New York Mets,BUT if Live from Lincoln Center is on, that's what I'll watch (or even attend). Disson is just not that mind grabbing.
btw, Disson shows are thematic. No?
