I beg to disagree. As for her technical skills, in case you haven't been reading the papers, the media has been on her case for not upping the ante. Oh yes, they praise her for her artistic presentation but they hammer her for her jumps which they consider not as difficult as let's say, Irina or Sarah. You must remember however, this is figure skating not figure jumping and there are other elements other than the jumps that are taken into account. Like what all skating experts will agree on, she has the overall package. But not last night.....

I have a lot of respect for Kwan and what she has done for skating. However, I also thought her choice of music and her outfit (ick!) last night could have been more inspiring.

Congrats to Sara Hughes, who skated and looked like a champion.
