I have never been so inspired by an athelete as I was watching Sarah Hughes last night. She was simply supernatural and deserved the Gold without a doubt.

PS: I thought the NBC commentary throughout the night was dreadful. The focus on Michelle Kwan's "loss" was in poor taste and today I see twice as many news photos of Kwan's falls as of Hughes brilliant performance.

Does anybody know if NBC is going to re-broadcast the event at any point? I'd dearly love to record the whole thing.

What about John Rocker?

Mike Tyson?

OJ Simpson?

Kurt Warner going from stocking supermarket shelves to Super Bowl champion is a hell of a story too.

I totally agree and she was such a sweet and gracious winner. Michelle Kwan disappointed me - there was just something not very gracious about her - she almost had an attitude that she deserved the gold even before hitting the ice.

BTW doesn't Sarah Hughes look like she could be Reba McIntyre's daughter?! Looks just like that woman - but a younger version!

And yet TWO judges had her ranked FOURTH, behind Cohen and Kwan who both fell during easier routines, and behind Irina Slutskaya (sp?) who turned 3 triples into doubles and had a bad slip on a landing.
