However, Phillips’ Olympic ambitions were derailed when she placed 45th all around at the 1987 World Championships. Marta Karolyi told USA Today in 1987 that Phillips “has had some problems with her weight, mostly because her heredity is not the best. Her mother is quite heavy”. National team coach Greg Marsden speculated that Phillips may not have been well prepared for the Worlds: “Kristie was wholly not prepared. She wasn’t physically prepared. I had calls from her mother complaining Bela was not preparing her and what could she do[…]at the world championships, I sat in a room with Kristie and she cried because she had given her heart and soul for two years, helped him maintain his reputation and media exposure and now he had abandoned her.”
