That's the reason Hughes is with SOI? Of course it is, that's the reason why ALL skaters get invited to SOI: medals, being box office draws or both. Hughes is not an exception, quite the contrary.hockeyfan228 said:If Sarah Hughes didn't have an Olympic gold medal and wasn't a box office draw, IMO her younger sister would have had a better chance to be cast in SOI.
It's one thing to criticize the skater because of her skills and another one to criticize the weight (and do you really know how much she weights?). I think ticket buyers have the right to criticize her skating if she doesn't stand up to the expectations. But by focusing on the skater's weight? Is that the real source of people's disapointment? If so, that's a little sad.
