Even so, I'd be a little disappointed too....but at the same time really excited to win the silver medal at nationals and be headed to Tokyo!!!

After all, Kimmie has won Worlds, and seemingly is more appreciated by the public. Not by ME of course, but I'm just saying.

She accomplished her goal of moving up the podium and she's probly satisfied with silver but this will motivate her to keep getting better and maybe next year Em will be National Champion

Anyone who is competitive and works that hard at anything is likely to be mad/upset/angry/jealous if someone is deemed better (even for just one night). She knows she could have one...but she also knew the fall probably cost her too much. Or maybe Emily's thinking "That could have been me in that Subway commercial!" :angry: Random note: I never thought of it but after looking at the picture a second time...does anyone else think it kinda looks like Emily has a mullet in that picture?
