You just totally summed up Emily for me! I remember at Nats this year--I turned on the TV in the middle of her short program and I remember thinking "Wow! Who's that? She's just on fire!" And then I realized it was Emily. She's not always the most technically solid skater, but you never get the feeling she's out there punching a clock.
Unlike some people...Sasha should decide whether she wants to be a celebrity or a skater. I think she really enjoys the celebrity stuff more. A few fewer Oscar parties and more focus on skating and maybe she wouldn't wipe herself out so often.
And I hope this finally shuts up some of the skating fans who were saying "The Olympics won't REALLY count because the one who'd be guaranteed the gold can't be there because of the age rule." Sorry, if Mao were really all that and a bag of chips she'd be World Champion. Heck, she'd be on the podium. Enough, already. Give that jumping bean time to grow.
And on the subject of unitards, death to unitards. 'Nuff said.
