Indeed Ravensque. Lots of pressure on Kaetlyn's shoulder. I hope she knows how to deal with it and not let it get in the way. Just do what she has trained to do and enjoy herself. It's her first World and anything less than 10 is an achievement. Go Katelyn go.This poor girl has a lot to contend with being the only Canadian Female skater there, and trying to get 2 spots for Canada in order to get one of the other promising young skaters Worlds and Olympics next year...........What a challenge she has ahead of her.........This kid seems to have nerves of steel, and a joy of skating rarely seen.............I think she can do it. I sure hope so.
Kaetlyn gets a Worlds sendoff by some young men in the mall. Very cute!!!!

Excerpt:
We asked medal hopefuls to dish on their summer workout regimes and share their best exercise tips for our readers. This week: Kaetlyn Osmond. Like many Canadian teens, Kaetlyn Osmond will head to the mall this summer – only instead of goofing off at the food court, she’ll be gliding and twirling around West Edmonton Mall’s ice rink, her main training venue. The 17-year-old Canadian women’s figure skating champion, who finished eighth at the World Championships this year after a breakthrough season, will be fine-tuning two new programs that she hopes will get her to her first Olympic Games. She’ll also be improving her fitness off the ice, with weekly sessions of Pilates. But come the weekend, she says, she forgets about skating – which means Carrie Underwood tunes, hanging out poolside with friends and “being a normal teenager, I guess.”
