Great program. Just so you know this isn't her Worlds Exibition. This was skated at the 1998 Hershy's Kisses Challenge. The final competition of that Olympic Season. You may want to change the name.
wish she should've try for gold one more time but she happy of what skating has offered her over the years and it going to be awhile before someone in the US has the presence on the ice like Michelle has every time she steps on the ice....always number one the hearts of all your fans.
I hear a lot of persons saying that Cohen's spiral is better then MK, i liked michelle's spiral more. I think overall Michelles spiral had more control and was more versatile. MK was able to do those tight turns and had so much more control.
and of course, it was more a part of the music...the feeling of it.
ita with ya! cohen has a great split in hers though and the speed is pretty good but it's just not like michelle's. i seen pics of sasha recently during a skating show (michael weiss' i believe) and she really drops her back now in her spiral.
thanks, i am glad you agree. And is it possible to have your legs split apart too much?.. I don't think it looks that great when the leg is parallel to the ice. Especially if the body is leaning too much forward..I did see the video you mentioned. YOu are right, she is leaning too much.
it might look wierd if the free leg is way the hell up there like a charlotte spiral and the back was up and not dropped. now that crap would look really strange. what would cause cohen to drop her back the way she does now? it's almost like emily hughes spiral, where she's so dropped down that her hands are almost touching the ice. oh and to answer splitsnspirals question it is a pro-am and it was a hershey sponsored event.
When Michelle skates, you can really feel the musics. I don't think any other skater has put as much "heart" into a performance like Michelle did. This includes Mao, yu-na, sasha. These girls perform well, but they don't draw you into the performance like Michelle did. Michelle became a part of the music.
@cerdanM except maybe katarina witt. but then again she came from a totally different generation of skaters. yup i do agree michelle is the best from this batch. (:
wow! she looks like she's just floating on air! she looks so beautiful and graceful i'm mezmarized by her performance! WELL DONE MICHELLE! lol i luv her skating she always looks like an angel floating on clouds!
This is my favorite MK number. :) I love Hershey's miniatures too.

This is not from 98 Worlds. I think it might be a pro-am. For 98 Worlds Ex she wore the maroon dress, not this blue one.
Love the program though!
