I think you meant flatteRing?
she needs to work on her rounded shoulders.

probably because of the 'seriousness' of the event... personality gives way to steely resolve?
I certainly agree with you. I was just thinking of the possibility that Rachael and Alissa could earn 13 points at Worlds. Your expectations of 1st-4th are certainly expected, but the battle between Ando, Suguri, and Lepisto are athletes who have shown not-so-good days at every event.I'm totally expecting only 2 Olympics spots for ladies. With Asada, Kim, Rochette, Kostner, Ando, Suguri, and Lepisto on the ice, it will be difficult for Flatt and Czisny to combine and finish 6th and 7th on a world stage, particularly Alissa, IMO. It would be the same story with any of the current US ladies.
I have this nagging suspicion that the one of the reasons why Rachael doesn't seem to get the score is because of her looks?
This is really a shallow reason but lets face it, Rachael is not the prettiest girl out there.
Does that allow judges, USFSA, media, and the fans to dismiss her performance more easily at a subconscious level?
OTOH, Alissa's teeth stick out, so I wouldn't call her beautiful.
Beauty is of course, a matter of personal taste.
The most beautiful currently active skater.
Don't agree on Meier :no: Maybe because I know lots of girls who look like her, clean and neat and proper. But then again I also think that Lepistö is more stunning than Korpi.Female: Sarah Meier
Male: Maxim Trankov
Agree on Trankov though. Which brings us back to the calendar...
If it was based on looks Irina nor Sarah would have ever won anything.
Oh, I think Irina's beautiful, esp with shoulder-length hair. Ever see any of her wedding pictures?
Even the mature Kimmie to me is certainly attractive but not outstanding, so when someone like Joubert comments on her good looks, it surprises me.

And I've heard it reported that Sarah is attractive in person -- people have said she looks better than she photographs (or films). ??
