Sickening. THe media was rooting for Michelle Kwan to get the Gold, but she fell on her a-s instead.

I know what you mean. I was watching last night & it was sickening the way they kept hyping up the Kwahn girl. Give me a break. I guess I always root for the underdog. The way they were praising her & hyping her up I was hoping she didn't get any medal at all!

I've never been a Michelle Kwan fan, NEVER! When Tara kicked her assgry in Japan 4 years ago, all the media did was talk about how the Gold was Michelle's for the taking ... I just loved it! So, here I was again, hoping for another USA teen to teach Kwan that nothing is your's for the taking dearie ... nothing! I kept my fingers crossed and just delighted in Sara's glory! I just couldn't stand the way the media, once again, acted as though the gold belonged to Kwan alone! I hate when the media does that, as they did with the Rams all season long this year! HA! When it comes down to it, it always goes to who wanted it and earned it the most! Move along now Kwan. anyway ... that's what 'I' think!

MSNBC showed footage of a press conference and Michelle had two medals on her neck the bronze and the one given to her by Peggy Fleming.
How cheesey.
Nothing to see here folks, move along in an orderly fashion.

Wonder if Kwan would have had so much media support if she weren't Asian?

Please do not gripe about Kwan. She has brought much to the sport. Most of all good sportsmanship. She is the one who raised the bar so high and though she is sad about losing I am sure she is happy for Hughes. All our girls deserve gold.
