Definitely agree with the first paragraph. Quality over quantity goes for training, like it goes for most things in life. Imo, making the right decisions at the right time triumphs just working hard.
I agree with most of the examples, from my limited knowledge of those skaters. I do think, for instance, Baiul did pretty well considering her circumstances. Yeah, she didn't accomplish as much as her talent allowed. But her talent was undermined more by things she couldn't control, imo. (Then again, maybe I'm giving her more leeway than I should because I love her skating).
I've heard this before about Johnny. Was he really that talented? Other than starting late and still succeeding, what's the indication that he's more talented than other middle-pack skaters?
(Sorry if I'm bombarding you with too many questions)
