Thanks for the article. Not to quote Dick Button but she's such a darling. I'm in her corner and I'll be pulling hard for her this season!

Nice article! It didn't slam other skaters - and it was nice and balanced.

Jenny has been through so much the past few years. Her mom's battle with breast cancer lasted so long, think of the strain Jenny was under all this time. And then her mom's death, on top of the hip injury... I'm wishing her the best this season, because she deserves it!

Poor girl, she's had a terrible time -- but she's got real fight in her! I hope this is the start of a wonderful season. I'm dying to see her make that nationals podium.

Nice article. Thanks for posting it. And its only reasonable that she would need some time to deal with everything that has happened to her.

I love Jenny's skating, her characteristics as a skater. I've always loved how she asserts her own soul, her own style, out there (I also love that about Sasha and A.P.), and I hope she keeps that up. She does skate from within, its her most stellar quality -- which was one reason I was so upset when she started to look like Kerrigan!

It was lovely to see her skate so well, and to light up the rink.

The more I follow skating on the internet and read various reporter's stories, the more I respect Jo-Ann Barnas. I really think she is the best reporter out there.

Having gone thru a similar thing as Jenny....it took me 3 years to allow myself to cry after my mom died....I respect her for her re-dedication to skating. I hope it continues to pay off.

What a wonderful article about Jenny. I thought her performance at Skate America was inspired! Count me in as one of her fans! I think she will become another "American Sweetheart," if she isn't one already!

Aww! She seems like the nicest person ever! I'm rooting for her to make the World Team this year...FINALLY.
