millbank Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Kind of wish Buffalo media would have spoke up more. Her parents are from Buffalo and moved to Baltimore area. Much has been said about Sasha Cohen and then Emily Hughes as Emily took the place of a very special American Skater Michelle Kwan, Kimmie Meissner was in the middle and not as much said about her. She did place second to Cohen at the Nationals and is only 16, very much just a very young , young lady. Its special to see such folks excell. Here is Leo's article Roth Meissner is a Baltimore gal. I know this because the local media won't STFU about her. 609320[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I thought they said Hughes was now 17....which means legal in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 16 of the 24 have already skated. Results can be found if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD., but does most of her training at The Pond in Delaware (UofD campus) I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was in the Philly airport for more then 5 minutes or if they drive down I-95 through the city, Philly tries to attach that person to the city. Training in Delaware. That is how they are making the connection. Delaware is close to Philly. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGPopgun10 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 So nobody else knew about her before you did??? LAMP! LAMP!! 609286[/snapback] Not on this board. Woo. Emily Hughes is on now! A girl who doesn't look like Sasha. Thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Such Blasphemy. The future is ahead for these young ladies though all three. Hard to imagine how young ladies at sixteen years old would feel in such a situation, both Kimmie and Emily will be better for it next time around. Not on this board. Woo. Emily Hughes is on now! A girl who doesn't look like Sasha. Thank god. 610119[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Poor Sasha....falling on that cute little ass during her routine. Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Poor Sasha....falling on that cute little ass during her routine. Maybe next time. 610169[/snapback] Did you know she leg presses 400 lbs? Too bad, she skates a clean program and she crushes that lifeless Asian chick. Even though she didn't blame her leg injury, I think it was clearly that when she came off the ice and said she couldn't jump high enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbh10128 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 While she's no Tanith Belbin, Sasha appears to have some talent beyond figure skating. Look at pic #33 608489[/snapback] that japanese chick is hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 OK, so let me make sure I read this article correctly. This girl was competing in Olympic figure skating and during her routine she fell down. Twice. And then they gave her a silver medal for falling down twice? Questions: Did the gold medal winner only fall once and then everybody else in the entire competition fell down 3 or more times? Was I unaware of the fact that I was actually reading about the Special Olympics? How in hte hell can you fall on your ass twice at the world's most presitigous figure skating competition and be considered to have had the second best performance? Why does the way figure skating is run always remind me of the way college football is run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long program, Sasha's performance (minus the two falls) is light year's better than the rest (except for the Bronze medalist). Her flexibility is sooooo great that whatever she does just looks so much better than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbank Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I must admit it would be something to see some of you twirling around the ice in a dress Maybe I should.
