Bebe, Kimberly, and Emilie and of course, all those Japanese Ladies. Are there any other real contestants besides these two nationalities?shine said:Well, even though this is already her 5th Nationals, but remember she's only 16! I think the age limit for singles is 19? And if you go to the USFSA site, you'll see that her, Emily Hughes, and Kimberly Meissner (I don't think I've liked a team this much ever) have been named to the Jr. World team.

What exactly are your rankings? You may fall into the category of podium ranked skaters only. Some consider the top 10 finishes for ranking and others, like me, think about the last 6 to skate with the six just before the last as being the one's to watch in future. Bebe is capable of fitting in my kind of ranking.Red Dog said:I thought she had a good Nats this year. Before, I couldn't see what all the hoopla was about on her, but now I do. However, I don't think she'll really get up there in terms of ranking. She'll just be someone cool to watch in the meantime while we wait for the favorites But of course I could be proven wrong. But that hasn't happened yet
Joesitz said:Yeah! I love Bebe. She was one of my early predictions for making a name for herself. However, I think she got a bit too tubby lately. I would like her to lose a few pounds.

Emily Hughes in person is bigger than your average skater, but she looked disproportionally big on television, as if somehow she got Kimmie Meissner's extra 10, too.chuckm said:Emily Hughes is also rather stocky, but she is much taller than BeBe (5'5" to BeBe's 4'11"). Both are powerful skaters.
