That is good Joe - but the "verdict is still out" whether or not Kimmie has nerves or not. ???And YuNa will win if nerves don't get her,
Miki Ando will win if nerves don't get her,
Kimmie Meissner will win if nerves don't get her,.
Joannie Rochette will win if nerves don't get her.
Sara Meier will win if nerves don't get her.
And Julia Sebestyan will be winning if there is a total meldown of the above.
Well, now you know my gold prediction.

That's playing it safe. You're not a betting man, RD.in response to the above:
Yes, maybe, Yes, No, No and NOOOOO
Whether you call it nerves, pressure, or even stage fright, since every sport has players who get jittery, the bottom line is to complete the thought and say:That is good Joe - but the "verdict is still out" whether or not Kimmie has nerves or not. ???

And I think if she skates at Nats with nerves of steel, you will then say that the nerves will get to her in Worlds, and you will continue saying this all thru 2008.I agree, it's too soon to tell. She hasn't been the favorite before, but we'll find out after this year's Nats and Worlds.

Your two buzz words for skaters you perceive as possible winners and you do not what that to happen are HYPE and PRESSURE.
Well, I'm not afraid. Mao will win worlds.
Try the youtube for Rachael Flatt. It's kind of scratchy now probably due to excessive use but it will give you an idea of this lady's potential. Ignore the fall. It's irrelevant when breaking in new boots in a 'c' competition.I haven't seen Rachel to know whether she's consistent or not,
