Kimmie Finishes 7th at Worlds
Posted on Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 6:35 pmHot off the presses is news that Kimmie has finished 7th overall at the World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.
She did fall during her free skate, but performed well enough to move up 2 places from where she was after the short program. Japan’s Mao Asada took the gold from Italy’s Caroline Kostner, who settled for the silver. South Korea’s Yu-na Kim rounded out the podium with the bronze.
Bebe Liang finished 10th and Ashley Wagner 16th.
Team USA will not get the 3 spots for the 2009 World Champs in LA, that they are accustomed to. The top 2 girls’ finishes needed to add up to no more than 13 in order to maintain 3 spots. As you can see, the total was 17, so only two Americans will be on the 2009 roster.
