For most teenagers, their “sweet 16” is a milestone birthday. For Kimmie Meissner, however, sweet 16 is a good description of her World Championship winning performance in 2006. After finishing fourth at the Junior Worlds the year before, at age sixteen she easily won Senior Worlds the next year with a brilliant technical performance. Besides watching her execute six different triple jumps, the pure joy in her skating is infectious. This performance was likely the highlight of her career, and also a highlight of the 2006 World Championships.
