Michelle Kwan - 2005 Marshall's SP

This is her Marshalls program to "Totentanz", the program she would've used for the 2006 Olys. It's very nice music, but I don't really feel like she was in shape for this. Strangely, I still like it. It still has that lovely MK charm to it.

Long live Michelle! No other female skater has made me cry at the end of so many performances. Michelle is the Gold-Medalist in my heart! Her heart warms the ice like no other.

All the arguing is just crazy. Michelle was injured when she did this performance, and she reinjured herself enough to need hip surgery. She just couldn't heal right. Over a decade of practice and championship performances would injure anyone. It finally happened to Michelle. She did win 5 World Championships, and those she didn't win, she mostly came in second. She won 9 National titles, 8 in a row. None given to her - all earned.

I like this program. It was a sign of what was to come.

@allenglandlawns I watched the medal ceremonies. Yes, Michelle was holding her medal. Just as Tara was holding hers. Skaters are not allowed to touch their medals? Michelle was not even in tears! Now onto SLC. As Sarah was recieving her gold medal, Michelle was CLAPPING. Yes, she was clapping I think you are confusing Michelle with Surya Bonaly at the 1994 World Championships. I think Michelle may have been disappointed, but not angry that she did not win either of the Olympics she competed in!

[allenglandlawns]

@TeamKween2010 Camera on, she's always ready to spout some sappy cliche. And never disappointed? Take a gander on the 98 podium. She was the ONLY one with tears of anger and resentment. And what's with covering up her EARNED silver? Same story in SLC. It's a true honor to stand on an Olympic podium for your country and her face just screams entitlement.

@allenglandlawns Watch that interview again,sir. Michelle never said she was robbed. Frank told Michelle that there are going to be people (journalists/spectators) who will say that "you were robbed." He went onto say "You skated well, but Tara was better". Michelle never thought her silver was a disappointment. She took it in strive. As she said herself, " I didn't lose the gold; I won the silver." Now that is one classy quote! :)

[TeamKween2010]

@allenglandlawns Why not the gold? You always talk about the GOLD MEDAL. Had the judges "favorited" Michelle, they would all place Michelle second in the long program, thus giving her the gold medal. BUT NO, the judges placed Irina's program as the second best of the night. I disagree, and I guess that's my opinion. But I am happy for Sarah. She skated the best program of her life. Well deserved. Though I disagree with who should have finished second in the long though! :)

[allenglandlawns]

@TeamKween2010 Oh the favoritism was there. Kwan embarrassed herself so bad that Gold was obviously out of the question so the judges awarded her Sasha's Bronze. There's your favoritism. Kwan deserved no higher than 3rd in the short and 4th in the long imo.

[allenglandlawns]

@JNagarya Well, I bet that you and the really rabid Kwanatics are kicking themselves... can't take it that your Kween was Kreamed fair and square by the REAL champion. Even Frank Carroll said it to Kwan: "You were not robbed. You skated well, but Tara was better."

[JNagarya]

@marudange With the exception, of course, of Michelle Kwan.  And Chen Lu. And Irina Slutskaya. And Yuka Sato . . '.

[JNagarya]

@getrealandsee Your values sum up in one word: hypocrite.

[JNagarya]

@TeamKween2010 I don't believe the judging at the 1998 Olympics was correct; and I believe the judges, after the fact, are kicking themselves. "Fair," then, doesn't exclude error.

[TeamKween2010]

@allenglandlawns (Cont) she had FIVE triple jumps, and no triple-triples. After Mao Asada and Yuna Kim came onto the scene was when the demand for triple-triples was more common. But even now, skaters are downsizing their programs to win events. For example Carolina Kostner.
