Did Michelle Kwan compete in this event?

[JNagarya]

@getrealandsee You should know, in view of the fact you pretend your hatred of Kwan is instead expertise -- pretend, because that "expertise" is based entirely on hatred of Kwan, who you don't know, and libeling judges you also don't know for awarding her her wins.

When will you be insulting our intelligence, also, by smearing the vast majority of skating fans who gave her countless spontaneous standing ovations, even at her practice sessions, without having to be bribed?

this is truely amazing , loving every second of this program. it is no wonder Irina Slutskaya is a record breaker.

[adrenalinecoma]

nice performance! I also love the music. anyone knows what it's called? shame on me, as I haven't happened to catch it since before.

and I agree, well done jumps overall! as I am one who knows nearly nothing about them and usually can't tell differences between good/excellent, can see she does them very well!

@adrenalinecoma

I believe the music is entitled "Ah, Natasha". I have had no luck locating it online as I too love this music. It's wonderful.

[xlutskaya]

perfect 3 lutz+2toe to start.

Her excelent technically ability allows her to attempt the 3salchow after had missed the first one, 4 seconds before!

She seemed to be in good shape. I'm intrigated because she changed the planed 3flip by a 3 toe.

Her 2axel was perfect as well as her 3 loop.

She's amazing including the combo at the end and repeated the 3salchow combined with a (little shaky) single toe to make this one account...

AMAZING SPIN

Not a sophisticated perforemance, but an enjoyable one. Great, easy looking jumps and some gorgeous spins- particularly the layback at 1.10 and the final combination spin.

I like her hair as it is now! And I would prefer two pony tails for this Russian folk-inspired program. Love Irina all the same!

[anibeth39]

I agree, she looked adorable with that hair in a pony tail. Its too bad she had it cut off, but thats what she had wanted. We can't force her to keep the way she used to look.

[kwadruple]

did she leave out the flip?

[sebringkidd]

what happen to her hair now? she should of kept it becuse now she looks like a boy
