Now that Kimmie's won the world title, do you think she'll be back?
Doesn't every skater have to handle pressure? Why single out Kimmie? She has a full schedule of competitions ahead of her: Campbells; Two GPs and most likely a GP Final; Marshals pre Nats; Nationals and then on to Vancouver.Kwanford Wife said:I didn't know she'd left...
But I agree with Tonichelle, the question isn't will she be back but how will she handle the pressure.

How many other US skaters will have that kind of schedule next season? and whatever they do will they not have pressure in doing just that?
Which skater(s) do you think will handle better with Mao and YaNu in Vancouver?

Whoa toni. NOT ALL OF THE US considers less than gold is lousy. I and most serious fans appreciate the podium finishes. I was quite pleased to see Fumie with silver in Calgary as well as Evan with bronze. And if you noticed the worried face of Sasha after Elena skated, she was worried about the bronze.Tonichelle said:anything_for_skating - in the US media handling pressure is EVERYTHING. They will be as hard on her as they were to Sasha for failing to meet the media's standards of excellence. Anything short of Gold in the US means that you are a lousy athlete in the media's eyes. That's a ton of pressure that I'm sure Kimmie will be aware of in due time.
not snide, just asking if you were... I was confused by what you said.Joesitz said:Was that pointed at me and was it a snide remark?
