That is certainly possible. It is also possible she did not care. I was a bit of a smart aleck weirdo growing up and could easily see myself rather enjoying being the werido who was in the K&C alone... i may have liked having my own spot light so to speak.
I'm curious about this, too. I'm actually rather upset at seeing that. Maybe Emily didn't mind? Seems really odd to have a JGP with young girls, and have 'rules' force one to sit by herself in the K&C. Still, it was a very unusual thing to see.
I too am wondering whether it is possible(??) that Emily preferred to be alone -- given that her own coach could not be with her.
Emily is eighteen years old -- and I believe at that age, if I were in her shoes, I myself would not have wanted anyone with me unless I was completely comfortable with the person. Having nobody would have been better for me than having someone with whom I was ill at ease (because I simply did not know them well enough), no matter how good the person's intentions. (I do think TZ would have had only the best of intentions, for example.)
Last year Elizabet Tursynbaeva sat with her mom in the K&C while Orser was busy with another skater (Netta, IIRC), but maybe there was a rule change this year
Thx, Lydia . So hmmmm ... I wonder whether one of Emily's parents traveled to Slovakia ... or whether the rules have changed or ???
Again, Emily is eighteen years old, which is older than some of the other skaters, so who knows?
... But I thought that most of the time, there was a team leader for a USA delegation to international FS events. So even if the one coach was busy with the skater about to skate, I agree that SOMEONE should have been with Emily.
True that USFS has a team leader. But that's why I was wondering how strict the rules are.
Or maybe the thing was that Emily felt that being alone was the lesser evil than being with just anyone under the sun, so to speak.
Anyway, congratulations to the medalists . Esp. Vivian .
