  • I am a big, BIG Michelle Kwan fan, but even I think Tara deserved to win. And I hate it when other Kwan fans say mean things about Tara, like calling her brat and all. It's not fair! Show some good sportsmanship! Michelle was happy for Tara and you should be too. Well done Tara, I think you deserved to win.

  • I hate that everyone always attacks Tara. I am a big fan of Michelle's and of Tara's and I'm glad to finally see some support for Tara. While I agree with arguments for both sides, I definitely think Tara won that OGM, hands down, without a doubt. Michelle, as always had amazing artistry and beautiful technique but Tara's Triple Toe, Half Loop, Triple Sal was perfection and had outstanding difficulty. She nailed a harder routine. It's just not an argument.

  • @officeaddict33 Well, Kwan had TWO of those days to prove herself...others have done so....then since she only had two chances she screwed Emily out of her Olympic Experience to not try again for the Gold that it's no all about....I'm not sure if you're defending or making excuses for Kwan but the fact is: She was timid in 1998 and assumed the Gold was hers...in SLC didn't even bother to up the ante or even change the short...and then to come with just her daddy??? Arrogant much?

  • People, people Kwan and Tara are both amazing

  • I thougth she did wonderful worthy of the Gold medals heads down. She landed 7 triples two of then in combinations..

  • GO TARA!

  • Cool

  • @lowdaisy1 You know what sucks? We used to have amazing figure skaters like Michelle and Tara where people actually CARED who won and still care and debate 14 years later. Nobody will be talking about the current girls 14 years from now. This sport has fallen. Whether you prefer Michelle or Tara, I'd take either of them over the current crop. (This is just referring to the American girls. I think Kim Yuna is amazing too.)

  • Whether you like Kwan or Michelle, you don't become Olympic champion without talent, hard-work, perseverance and maybe a little bit of luck. Yes, Kwan's legacy did not end with Gold but the Olympic long program is only 1 day. You cannot help how things turn out.
