Great Michelle's short. I just love her artistry there.

IMO one of Kwan's most expressive programs.

are you for real? if you can't see the beauty in michelle kwan's skating then i truly feel sorry for you.

@ehrenaissance Well, if all the syrupy accolades about being fair **think Jim McKay's tribute** they could have gone with just about anyone..Kwan DID NOT DESERVE to be there. Period. And OMG the inflated scores...the gushing...ooooh...she fell so very gracefully.....ooooh....look how she soldiers on (what, other skaters run off the ice in tears)? Perhaps a skater who actually stayed upright might have been a good choice.

@getrealandsee well not the mother of all splatfests but the mother of all popfests!

@getrealandsee well if you wanna see the mother of all splatfests try youth ing Nancy's Beauty and the Beast program... NOW that was a splatfests!!! The vitrol against Michelle seems illogical. She was a great all-around consistent skater.

@getrealandsee Kwan won the long at Worlds. She had no right to go? Who else were they going to send?

[OapostropheC]

That has to be one of her more difficult step sequences, from her entire pre-COP career. Yes? No?

[getrealandsee]

@koolaidnhemlock Save your pity for Kwan.

[getrealandsee]

@citizenlen She had no right to go to worlds and this spatfest mess is ridiculously high scored but then that's AA in A...and just because you use naughty words doesn't mean you are right. Michelle Kwan destroyed fs's credibility and Tara restored it. .

@getrealandsee Did you watch Worlds 97? She skated amazingly despite all the pressure and she was beginning to have toe stress fracture at this point because of the new boots. U know what I'm not even going to bother, u clearly have no clue what figure skating is!
