She was lucky to have been 4th here. Pales in comparison to Suguri's "Ave Maria" SP in the same competition.

I love her spirals. Her leg might be a little bent, but I find the turn out of her hip to be amazing, she always has her free leg raised right behind her hip instead of turned to the side, which to me makes a spiral very unpleasing. and she has wonderful flow and edging in her spiral. I think her ability and musicality were really underrated. she really was a wonderful skater.

Ranking Sarah Hughes against Maria Butyrskaya in their short programs at the 2002 Olympics, I would say that Maria's jumps were better (i.e., full rotations, no flutzing), and so was her flying camel spin. Sarah had a better combination spin, way better layback spin and spirals, and a better footwork sequence. Sarah also had greater speed throughout her program. So it's a toss-up, I suppose, as to who should have finished ahead of the other.

@JNagarya Taking lessons in name calling from others are you? I am hardly a liar. Not even a little...you really are focused on me aren't you...you and MTS...I don't put any value on your rants either...you froth at the mouth and it creates amusement....I simply post the truth...somethings are from articles, others are what I see with my own two eyes...others are the opinions of others (credited to them)....now, back to the video of the 2002 Olympic Gold Medalist for the USA...SARAH HUGHES!

@Arinozian It's not just about underrotation. Her flip/lutz are not pretty by any means. Very slow rotations in the air, barely gets off the ice, flutzing.. Her edge jumps look fine though. I know she was a sweet girl and everything, but I never liked her as a skater.

@anubethc45 As a transparent, and repeatedly shown to be, liar, I don't beleive anything posted by getrealandpuke. That includes the claim it is a ninety-year-old and a "she".

Haters lie in service to their hatred. Lying is immoral. Getrealandpuke is a liar.

@getrealandsee 1. The Olympics are not about countries; in fact, the intent of the Olympics is to transcend nationalistic bullshit.

2. One cannot legitimately be "proud" of someone else's accomplishments, because one contributed nothing to it.

3. "Pride goeth before a fall" -- "God" -- is a CONDEMNATION of pride.

@hrjr2009 I said nothing of the sort.
