[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have never been a fan of Tara, even when she was a teen.

I feel now she focuses overly on the technique when her technique wasn't very good as a figure skater. She could land the jumps, but they weren't very high and she skated like she was still on roller skates which is where she started her career.

I feel she gives off teen vibes and she is living the childhood she didn't have because she was so busy skating....she comes across as very superficial to me.

I miss the days when Dick Button and Paul Hamilton did the commentary, they were more insightful and intelligent in their assessments.[/quote]
I’m guessing you are over 60 with your reference to Dick Button (who is deceased and stopped Olympic commentary in 2010). This happens in every sport, there comes a time where the older commentators retire to make way for more recently retired athletes who have more insight into the current state of the sport and are more recognizable names to the audience. Tara and Johnny do a great job. [/quote]

I’m not the PP, but you seem to be implying that there is something wrong with being over 60.  Do you hope to never reach 60?  Or are you going to be DIFFERENT kind of 60 year old?[/quote]
