I'm not sure what you mean by so much influence? Influence over what country her daughter skated for? She is the nicest parent by far I have ever met in figure skating. If you're talking about her naming me Team Mom, that's not really a thing. Too bad or maybe I could get credentials.oh, she really is a beautiful woman. when Sofia switched to Philippines, I wrote here somewhere that she was the best transfer of the season. I still think so, although at the time I thought the Fed had a good eye. but why does her mom (uh, it's not good)... so why does Precious Tongkoso much influence? (I'm not saying it's bad, I don't know the conditions)
