It’s true that It’s her nose that is famous!

Rachael Flatt is probably the one to beat at nationals. Unless Caroline Zhang fixed her mule kick, she doesn’t stand much of a chance medaling at worlds. I think U.S. fans were expecting Zhang and Nagasu to take over by storm after watching Asada and Kim dominate the field as soon as they transitioned from juniors to seniors. Except, while Asada and Kim have lived up to their potential, Zhang and Nagasu have not. They’re still quite young and have years to improve, but I’m not sure they can get their act together by 2010.

“Even one strong year of figure skating skills just isn’t going to make you suddenly able to do solkow and other kinds of jumps. I just can’t see how Triple can be really about figure skating; she’s break a leg (and her luxury nose ono!!) if they tried to be authentic.”
You summed it up for me. It’s just going to be a stupid love story mixed with some skating. I wish I could let it go, but it’s so frustrating to see them take something so serious right in front of them and turn into a silly love story. I’ve said it before, they can tell their love story, but why drag figure skating into it? I bet they could tell the same story with any other sport. She could be a golfer, swimmer, basketball player, archer, curler, whatever and it would be the same story in each scenario. I know they went with figure skating because of its current popularity, but damn, it’s just going to add more stress and pressure on the real figure skater! I guess Kim Yeon Ah could be flattered by this, but by raising more interest into the sport, it means that much more pressure on her to do well.

Actually it would be awesome if there was a drama about Michelle Kwan. Especially if Sasha gets to play the villain. Heh. Fall much Sasha?

I’m still in fear of what kind of effect these figure skating dramas will have on Kim Yeon Ah. The dramas couldn’t have come at a worse time. They’re going to air in the season leading right up to the Olympics. One year and one month from now and we could be witnessing an Olympic first, just like Park Tae Hwan showed at the summer Olympics.

Dramas about figure skating which we all know are inspired by the recent success of Kim Yeon Ah, it’s all going to add some kind of pressure and stress to this 18 year old girl and it’s all going down right before the Olympics.

Man, couldn’t they have waited until after the Olympics?? Koreans don’t need a fake story about figure skating, they got the real deal right in front of them!

Or maybe I’m just stressing out too much because I’m a worried fan of Kim Yeon Ah.. but doesn’t this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQO8eVV8n3Q look so much cooler than anything we can expect from the fake dramas?! That’s the real stuff, guys! There’s your story and it’s real too! It’s happening right now. Forget those fake copycats.
