That's interesting, because for me, the first thing I noticed about Meier is the beautiful, expressive grace of her arm movements.
Kimmie actually SAID that??
I'm not sure if that bothers or amuses me. Perhaps a bit of both!
What is Emily Hughes' music?

Me too, and the finger positions. I am working up a new FS promo / intro for fun and the first thing I used was Sara's start with her arms and hand movements.
I keep wondering what she might have meant by this??? Eager to please and do anything for attention not caring where it comes from - like "guys are Dogs"??Kimmie actually SAID that??
I hope it was not meant as looks, that would lower my opinion of her - well maybe, she was young and kids can be cruel. Also regreting what is sometimes said.
No RUMOR
Kimmie ,Katy Taylor and Jessica Houston sat in front of us in Dallas 2003 for the Senior events. They had just won the Novice medals.We got to chatting with them and was asking what skaters they liked and they sais Michelle and Sasha. We asked if they liked Sarah since she had just won the Olympic Gold the previous year and they all said NO! She skates like a dog. We then asked about Emily and they all said that she skated like a dog too. Just children having fun.

I bet Kimmie is sorry now that she was so friendly and unguarded with the fans back then. I don't think she expected that something she threw off in childish high spirits would pop up in a negative context on the Internet three years later.

I am sure she might regret that just a tad, but if that is the way she felt - I don't think it is going to hurt the sport. Just anyone thinking Kimmie was mature at an early age. Well I guess she is a "really" girl after all.
Makes me wonder what Sasha may have said about Ira a time or two that didn't get on camera???
Everybody is entitle to a controversial comment in the sports word once and a while:agree: I would imagine that if Sarah and Emily got news of that comment, there was an apology shortly following. Emmie looks like she could "take care of" Kimmie with out to much problem. "Look string bean, you want to see a dog become a vegetarian???"
nah, I think it's a good laugh, actually. But I couldn't imagine it coming from Kimmie- at least on camera or within earshot- right now. But if it was 4 years ago, that's totally different. Much younger.
I dunno, I sort of see Kimmie as the new Michelle- in the way that she's always smiley and cheery and putting on her "best face" for the camera, when deep down inside they both are cutthroat competitors. The old "I just want to skate my best and have fun" type of thing. But we know that's all just horse manure- for the most part.
I don't recall many "dagger stares" from Meissner but during the Olympic short program that was pretty close.
This may be true, but if you watch backstage Kimmie and Katie are still right next to each other even though Katy has bombed bigtime this year and are laughing and chatting. Girls will be girls and Kimmie is still just a little girl checking off her moves as she does them.
and how true that is.
Isn't it a bit premature to say Katy has bombed big time *THIS YEAR*? It's only Nov. and US nats has yet to come around.
Well I'm just disappointed in her performance this year after her win at the end of last year. Nationals is the end of the year except for worlds.
cheer up, it ain't over till it's over. US Nats is still a couple months away.

To see some great choreography and wonderful use of arm movement - check out Toller Cranston's programs on Youtube. Toller had a real sense of body movement and relation to figure skating. Toller is just fabulous to watch even after all these years. Makes one realize what is lacking in today's programs.
Kimmie and Katy have been competing against one another for many years and became very good friends, and they are still friends today. That's rather unusual at high levels of competition. Sarah was never friends with either Michelle or Sasha, and Sasha herself once said other (female singles) skaters were competitors, not friends.
Well, you've also got that Kwan-Slutskaya relationship going there. They seem to be casual friends as well (or maybe just friendly with each other??)

This to me is not an important thread about skating but sobeit.
We go through life with being friendly and in the course of that way of life we develop some friends, and sometimes, close friends.
Every team mate on the Mets is friendly with the others but not necessarily, good friends. Common sense.
