No dear - a skater with an Olympic gold medal and no World title means that
they just managed to win one competition.  Big deal.  The Oly gold isn't
worth any more than a World gold - it's just marketed to people like you who
think it is.  Cases in point - Kurt Browning  - 4 world titles.  Elvis
Stojko - 3 world titles and 2 Oly silvers.  And how many World titles has
Kwan won now?  Five??? or is it four?   I wouldn't say these skaters are
nothing without Oly gold - but we know you would - but don't bother - I
already wrote it for you.
