[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And please, 10th at Four Continents?  No one cares about Four Continents one week before the Olympics, least of all, the skaters who aren't going to the Olympics.)[/quote]
If you don't care, why go and skate miserably? Become ill or something. Going and skating like you don't care? That's not what champions do.[/quote]

You go if you want multiple Grand Prix assignments next year.  And Mirai does.  I haven't seen her short, but I did watch her long program at 4CC.  Yes, it was a little flat.  Nothing awful, no major mistakes.  It's happens.  World class athletes sometimes let disappointment creep into their game.  Peyton Manning certainly did in the Super Bowl this year, and I would never argue that diminishes his greatness as a quarterback.  They have talent, work ethic, training, financial resources, and even luck in amounts I'll never have.  They have it all.  No doubt.  But they're also human.  To paraphase Evgeni Plushenko, they're not robots.[/quote]
No one says they are robots.  But when they fail or don't perform up to the standards of excellent, there is generally a recognition that a particular athlete didn't do well.  It's not a reflection on their personal value.  It is simply a recognition that skater A, B or C did not perform well in competition A, B and C, and was judged as such.  You seem to resist that.
