I voted for Michelle, although she only competed in three competitions as opposed to the 7 Sasha did. I would have put Sasha first had her name been on the ballot. I realize that she has had a lot of problems this year but what she did do earned her many medals and kudos. Great year for her!
Well, I don't think anyone was far and away the most consistent this year. Sasha (for Sasha) wasn't bad at all, averaging 5/6 triples a performance which is quite good. Michelle was great, with only that splat on the 3lz at Skate America coming to mind, but I agree with Realtorgal, she did only do 4 competitions compared to Sasha's 9. Shizuka was much improved consistency wise, but she seemed to have a rough time with keeping it together in the SP and I think that kept her from a probable medal at the GPF and maybe even Worlds. Onda started off very well, but poor girl, all that focus on the jumps ultimately left her out of the loop. Neledina! Ooh, if she didn't make me incredibly sad to see such a competent jumper lack so many basic skills, I'd say she was great. But, she isn't consistent at all with the basic skills and her jumps alone aren't enough to warrant any prizes or distinctions as of yet. So, I'd probably say Sasha, but only because she competed in so many events and won 5/9. LOL, but hard to say, Michelle went 4/4!
<em><strong>I really think that Sasha wasn't really all the consistent, Her long program performances were 4, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6--she often had falls in each of her programs. Shiziku Arakawa was probably the most consistent throughout the year, landing 6,7,6,6,5,6,5,6 during the course of the season. Michelle she was consistent but she did not compete in many competitions. I give this one to Shiziku...as you were..</strong></em>
