And those who dance well are not very good skaters - bless them.

Kyran has spent years learning to 'emote' but still looks clumsy; bull, china and shop spring to mind.

How refreshing to read comments from someone who looks at the skating and is not seduced by the jazz hands and facial gymnastics.

I tried hard to understand this post and I think that eventually I got most of your drift, though not all of it.
What has she done or said to make you think that Beth thinks she is good.
Doing well in gymnastics? Beth is the most medalled gymnast Britain has ever produced: World champion, European champion and Olympic medallist - if I could claim those titles I think I too would think I was a pretty good gymnast.
"She feels she is better than Everton else." What on earth does this mean?

Agreed.
