After 11 years of Medals, Michelle was denied one in Moscow. Some skating fans are delighted with this happening; others are in tears; still others like me, and apparently Dick are annoyed with her for her choices after the 2002 Olys. (Dick gave a few jabs at Marshalls; I want to give a punch.)
What can be done, if it is not too late.
1. Will she really get the CoP message now?
2. Will there be any 3x3s in the competition and not just in practice?
3. Other than the trade mark change of edge spiral, will there be any other Moves in the Field?
4. Will there be any transitions leading into elements particuarly jumps?
5. Will there be any GP events this coming season? Are they necessary?
6. Will Kimmie beat her at the next Nationals.
7. How much ground does she need to gain to be competitive with the present top three Worlds?
8. Can Michelle win the Olympics without doing anything about the above and rely on her traditional presentation?
(One has to think that the judges are looking for big tricks. In my opinion, the PCS scores are an after thought.)
