Michelle's artistic programs are always wonderful to watch. Her gracefulness on the ice is unmatched. However, like you stated she's never been a very athletic jumper.
I'm very interested in what the verdict will be today.
Sarah Hughes deserved the Gold in 02, and Kwan should consider herself lucky to have pulled Silver after her dismal performance. I was very chagrined that flash in the pan, one and done Tara Lipinski beat her in 98.
I really like Sarah and think she has a great chance at the gold. She's a very humble young lady off the ice too.
Tara Lipinski was annoying off the ice and over-animated on the ice, but she proved what it took to win gold.
Sarah is not competing, she won the gold in 2002 so two American teens have beaten Kwan for Olympic gold. Sarah's little sister, Emily won third in the Nationals and Kwan didn't skate because of a groin injury but yet she wanted a spot on the American team and she bumped young Emily off the team. Kwan has two chances at Olympic Gold and she failed. I think it is time to let someone else skate. I also don't appreciate Kwan's attitude.....she thought she should decide whether she was well enough to skate.
