"A tremendous amount of potential, I think we'll see a lot of her in the future... can't help but get the feeling we're watching a future World Champion" !!! Oh yes, indeed!! Those comments really made me smile!
4.8 is ridiculous but 5.4 for technical merit and 5.2ish for presentation are in fact about right for her at this point. She was already quite good but still had maturing and growth to do. It was amazing how much she had improved by only next year when she came 4th at worlds and probably should have medaled.
How rude and ignorant you are Getreal! You know nothing about skating. It's well known the reason she was marked so low because her hair was in a ponytail and she wore no makeup. The judges even told her coach this. They made these changes and she started to win with the same elements.

Really should have been a world medallist the year after with her 2 flawless programs, but she made the judges pay for the next decade ;).
In just two years she would become the World Champion.
Lol at Paul M. blathering on about the last 30 seconds. Meanwhile, Michelle nails a lutz and toe loop to finish the program.
Not so far future, fast forward two years later.
5.2?5.4?4/8?5/1????
poor referees...

5.4 is about right for this skate. She had neither the polish, power, or flow out of her jumps for higher than that yet. 4.8 is ridiculous.
Infantile, should still be skating the juniors.

Mean spirited!! She just won World Juniors and was moving up!
