Sasha has no major title

RD - Are you saying hype is ok for Sasha but not for MK?Red Dog said:Nothing shocking or earth-shattering in that statement.

There's a nice concise bio of Sonia in last issue of Blades. In fact there are quite a number of concise bios of many female skaters including Jaqueline du Bief who invented the Illusion (that's the spin that looks like a windmill).SeaniBu said:Why no mention of Sonja, and Joe why did the signature go away? I liked it, it was really inspiration on a certain level. I am not sure, but she may have been the first to turn a athletic career into a Hollywood one. ?

You can't forget that for the past 3 years you did nothing but scream HYPE at MK and mostly based on what you read on the Boards, not from any real publicity.Red Dog said:Where in my statement could I possibly have said that? Anyway since you brought it up: I think a little (keyword here: LITTLE) bit of hype to generate interest is OK. But it's when it goes overboard (and it becomes a marketing ploy) that I get sick of it. Maybe a day before the competition or the day of the competition it's fine, but when it starts weeks or months in advance that's when I have a problem with it. Doesn't matter who the person is.
And let's not hear about a lot of baloney pressure and hype in the future. All skaters get hyped; all skaters have nerves when competing. End it all now and discuss the actual skating.Red Dog said:You know better than I do that I was referring to the pressure that she would face come these Olympics. Not related to hype at all, unless something suddenly changed. Some fans really need to just leave the past in the past.
