@getrealandsee ITA with you. She had her opportunity and blew it. I enjoy so many of her programs, but the OLYs are not about the best in the world, but who is best the night of the competition. Lipinski's victory stings, but not Hughes...Kwan was foolish to have dumped Frank Carroll as her coach. Frank has the last laugh now - he finally has an OGM skater on his resume.

@utubejunkiepig From 2003 on, her programs all started to look the same.

i wish she didn't dump Frank. she might've won the OGM if she stayed with him...

It is absolutely hilarious to see that the Kwanatics are still scrambling to desperately claim that Kwan was robbed of the Gold here. The excuses like """Sarah was in fourth so she doesn't deserve it""" or """Michelle deserved to beat Irina""" so that Kwan would still be gifted the Gold by default. Kwan did NOT even deserve the Bronze with the crap skates she vomited out here. That was Sasha's but pity points go to Michelle for she embarrassing herself and failing the USA for the SECOND time.

Oh man this is just rich. Just absolutely DELICIOUS! Freeze at 7:40. That LOOK. Oh she BLEW it big time AGAIN!!! All the help she could get. 4 years to re-think her strategy and she barfs this mess out...that and the short but it was so awesome to see that the Olympic judges aren't fooled by this half-baked attempt at an Olympic GOLD medal. Only serious athletes...you know, the ones who risk it, push it, up the ante, assume no breaks...are the ones who deserve a chance at top honors.

Although I was disappointed that Kwan did not win the gold, I was more disappointed that Kwan failed to acknowledge and congratulate her teammate during the post-competition interview with CBS's Jim Nantz.

This is from the NY Times regarding the 1998 Olympics. Articles such as these are all over the place but Kwan doesn't see them nor do her defenders...this lady is honest...and tells it like it is. I didn't write this!! Camera on...gracious Kwan...camera off...well..

Moment to Savor

Published: March 01, 1998

To the Sports Editor:

How refreshing it was to see Tara Lipinski and her other teammates, including the often maligned Nicole Bobek, enjoy the closing ceremony without any outward indication that their agents had told them to appear. They carried on just like two spirited teen-agers savoring the moment completely unstaged.Maybe Michelle Kwan would have been able to put her disappointment in the proper perspective if she had joined them.

[getrealandsee]

Of COURSE there are videos galore with Kwan in them...I mean the woman held on forever in her failed quest for Olympic Gold. The winners moved on to other things knowing that figure skaters tend to have a short shelf life in serious competiton. Others know that because they TRAIN and IMPROVE and it costs them dearly. Kwan had no real competiton for most of her sad little career and was not straining her body or bank account so of course she is well known and pitied. Poor little Michelle:lol
