Posted on Wednesday, March 19th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

Kimmie scored a 57.25 in her short program, at the Figure Skating World Championships in Gotenberg, and currently sits in 9th place.

Kimmie leads all Team USA skaters as Bebe Liang (52.81) and Ashley Wagner (51.49) are in 10th and 11th place right now.

Though she is 7 points out of the lead, Kimmie was very pleased with her performance. Here is a quote:

“I don’t care at all. I am just so happy. … This is something I can be proud of.”

I agree. Skating a clean program is definitely something Kimmie should be proud of!

Italy’s Carolina Kostner (64.28) holds first place followed by Mao Asada (64.10) and Yukari Nakano (61.10) of Japan.
