Frau Muller (too polite to write what she did when Sasha fell....)
nope, I have a little more self control...
I was happy for Kimmie, but not because she beat any particular skater...

Well I did not jump up and down when Kimmie's scores were higher than
Sasha's I was in shock. Not because Kimmie outscored Sasha but because of Kimmie's high numbers. I knew then that probably no other skater could beat her. It was a bit of a let down for me because after Sasha's messed up program I really thought Fumie would win. Kimmie deserved the win but I can't really say that I am happy about it.

Well, no biggie. Some people are happy because Kimmie won, others because Sasha lost. Same outcome, different spin.
I think those people have the right to their opinions. Although it's not PC, cheering when a skater falls is not illegal and IMO shouldn't necessarily be condemned. (I'm talking privately here, not at a competition just so you know.) However, that said, there's no need to rub it in (in other words, develop an agenda to lower said skater even further).

That's right - I was wishing for either Kimmie or Joannie or Fumie to win. Love all three of them. I've never cared for Sasha - find her a bit arrogant - but do wish her well, as a human being.

You are not alone!!! I am SO glad that somebody finally showed Sasha where she should be.
I couldn't watch the victory ceremony, so tell me PLEASE what was Sasha's reaction on Kimmie's victory and Kimmie's reaction on Sasha's skating????

I was happy for Kimmie, but sad at the same time that Sasha had another meltdown. I may not be a huge fan of Sasha but I still would like for her to do her best.

I was actually surprised that Sasha finished so low, not about the mistakes. After years of watching favorites & old timers on their way to the big pro-circuit in the sky being held up, I just assumed that Sasha & Fumie would finish first & second ~ in whatever order...
After the Olympics, when Kimmie expressed how pissed she was with herself for not nailing her program (always the sign of a champion in my opinion & experience...) I totally expected for a strong finish at Worlds... but Gold? Absolutely not... Biggest shocker of the season to be perfectly honest...

Since you couldn't see it....
Kimmie changed out of her figure skating costume, and dressed up as Glenda - the "good witch" of the North. (it was a HUGELY poofy pink thing, with a tiara and Big Hair to boot). She forced Sasha to dress up in all black, with a pointy hat and green make up. Then Kimmie proceeded to throw water on Sasha, where she promptly melted into a little black puddle. Kimmie also included some gargoyles flying around just for dramatic effect.
Does that story make you happy? Geez. If Sasha never wanted to put skates on again in her life I wouldn't blame her.
Congrats to Kimmie for putting together the 3 solid performances it took to win World's. She strikes me as a tough competitor, and I can't wait to see more of Kimmie in the future.
Congrats to Fumie - World Silver Medalist!! I have always enjoyed Fumie's skating, and team Japan is really tough. It's tough to even MAKE the World Team. I applaud Fumie for the competitive hutzpah it must take to not only make the World team, but make the podium.
Congrats to Sasha. To read what some people say, you'd think that was a horrible competition. Many MANY skaters would LOVE to have skated like you did, and gone home with a World Bronze Medal.
Congrats to every competitor. We whine, you perform. Kudos to all of YOU.
