Once again Kimmie proves all the haters wrong and shows how competitive she is vs the best skaters.
These results reinforce the fact that no one is invincible in figure skating despite how much exaggerated hype surrounds them. That can only be a beautiful thing in my eyes.
And with Meissner making mistakes, it's doubtful that she'll be able to pull off any kind of upset.
Mao hasnt even won Worlds yet. There are 2 women who own World titles and she is not one of them. She lost 3 of her 4 significant international events last year, and lost to all of Ando (twice), Meissner (once), and her only acknowledged rival Kim (once). Yet people talk about her as if she is unbeatable and talk about how many world medals or world titles in a row she will pile up already.
This is her 2nd short program score under 60 this year, and this one was even lower. I agree with you on exagerrated hype, Mao is great but she is also exagerrated hype personified at this point.
world title or not, I still consider her very dangerous and one of the top two competitors (the other being Yuna Kim). I'll never count her out.
I think Dube & Davison and Johnny Weir have both shown this season that NO ONE can be counted out. Mao Asada is far from being the Evgeny Plushenko many people make her out to be.
Wow, Miss Cleo is that you?

That was uncalled for - just because a person is not "over the moon" for Kimmie does not mean they are "Haters".
I respectfully ask the moderator(s) to either supply a strongly worded statement against such speech on this MB or delete this post. We can agree to disagree but I come to this MB expecting that such nastiness won't be tolerated.
