Tara barely left the ice...she outskated kwan in the lp because she skated free and that 3L3L was great but aside from that her jumps were inferior to kwan who had height, speed and flow.

@allenglandlawns Well if I recall correctly, Tara had a "smudgy" landing on the triple flip. Plus, she skated earlier. So in my books, Michelle and Tara were marked correctly in the short program. And I agree Lipinski won the long program, thus winning the gold medal. But seriously do we have to debate this time after time? I think we are showing disrespect to both athletes when arguing about this. :)

@allenglandlawns Michelle Kwan's combo, double axel, spins, footwork and choreography were vastly superior to Tara's in the short program. This Rach SP is a flat out masterpiece. Tara's was mediocre in comparison. NO short program under COP by a female can even come close to this work of art. COP destroyed the artistry of figure skating. Butt prints? Kwan landed 7 triples at this Olympics and had a perfect SP. She always had to skate her best to win. You must be thinking of Sasha Cohen...

@mlc2005 Not everyone thinks so...for sure SHE agrees with you.

@dylanvalente Yep, this footwork would be way to simple...COP would have saw right through that without a doubt. Under the 6 system, Kwan could get away with just about everything...including butt prints. Simple and safe Kwan is here...nice, clean skating from Kwan here but I thought Tara was the clear winner of the short program.

The BEST F-ING FEMALE Skater of all time, and we all know it.... She is FABULOUS!!!!!! She is like a Beethoven of figure skating...a talent that comes along every hundred or so years (if ever again).
