That was the first time I ever saw her distraught.
More Quotes from John Nicks:
I think it was obvious that the standard of skating tonight was not particularly good. Particularly not as good as the short programs where we had a lot of good runs. The new scoring system is so demanding and so different, I've taught for 45 years and in the last two years I've had to re-do my whole philosophy and thinking.John Nicks
Not that they don't have wonderful skaters, but when I look at the results from some of the junior competitions, I'm not seeing the depth now that I used to see. So I have a question as to when this current crop of Russian skaters are finished whether they'll be as strong. Originally, the (Soviet) system was to assign a wonderful coach to perhaps one or two wonderful competitors and government would reimburse the coaches. Once that was removed, there was anticipation that this method wouldn't continue to produce any good skaters. So far it's been wrong. We'll see in the future.

I thought she still had a chance (after her imperfect program). I've been around a long time, seen a lot of mistakes made. I think it's obvious the standard of skating overall was not particularly good, definitely not as good as the short program.

I think the visit to the East Coast helped her. She worked with two very wonderful coaches.
