I wonder if there's any chance they'll show this on Sportscenter...I'm watching just in case. On ESPN, there is an NBA game in the 4th quarter on right now that should be off at 1 AM EST.

I don't know if they will reshow it. What happens at the Laker's game is that all the celebrities get these special seatings. Michelle was seated court side. I did not see who she was next to but my husband said he thought she was talking to Jack Nicholson (sp?). They show the celebrities on camera sometimes and say oh there is so and so enjoying the game, etc. And occasionally they will go to them and ask them a few questions. So the sportscaster approached her and asked her a few questions. He talked about how she said she was on the ten year plan for school. She laughed and said yes she promised she would finish and she just finished in December and moved back to LA. Then he asked everyone wants to know about the Olympics in 2010. She said she has been training on and off ice "trying" is the key word that I am pretty sure I heard, "trying to get back in Olympic shape, so, we'll see." Is how I heard it. So keep everything crossed that she will feel like she can get back competitive enough. But bottom line, they don't usually re-air those casual court-side talks and unfortunately, I was not expecting it so I did not tape it. I actually was upset with my husband wanting him to turn the game off and I looked and said, "Wait, is that Michelle??"

Patrick O'Neal: "I want an answer now!"

He's not the only one losing a little patience. Loved how she told Patrick that he'll be the first to know.

Well there is our official announcement from the Kween. She did finish her studies in Denver just as she told us she would, good for her.
Thanks for the info.

It would be wonderful to see her at Nationals again. She could get that 10th title! I doubt anyone would ever break that record, unless they throw out CoP.

Wow! I am very, shocked right now! Shocked in a good way, that is. Oh how I'd love Michelle to come back to competitive skating!! Well, just to see her skate again would be fantastic. There is something missing when Michelle isn't around... that is for sure.

I believe!

Can you imagine?? 1996, 1998-2005, 2010 National champion?? How cool! Of course, I'll be excited to JUST see her skate... regardless of where she places or what events she skates at, but seriously ... I think it is okay to dream.

Oh, my oh my. So she does want to compete in 2010. That's good enough for me. I believe in Michelle with all my heart. But I know she wants to be in top notch shape to compete there again. So....I'll pray for her and trust her to know the right thing to do.

I'll betcha we'll see her in something soon. She'll want to perform in front of an audience more than likely, because although I don't skate, I'm sure there's a big difference in skating alone and having a crowd watching you. Anyway, there I go wishful thinking again.

Go, Michelle. i'm with you all the way.

First of all, congratulations, Michelle on getting your degree. That is absolutley fantastic.
And thank you for the after Christmas present.
Oh wow, this board will come back to life now. Everyone get your favorite chicken recipes out and stock up on junior mints. LOL.

Taf and Cole 50, your posts made my heart sing. Yay.

She should have a crown, not just a medal.

okokok, Am I over reacting? How in the world am I going to write chapter 18 today, when this is going on? Who cares if Danni and Blake get together. Michelle is going to skate again. sigh.

grannie frances (who is very happy and excited)

I am hopeful but I interpreted her to be saying she has started training to see if she can get back in Olympic shape. So I think the jury is till out because we don't know what impact that surgery may or maynot have had.

OMG, I thought this almost was a joke. I knew that she had been practicing and getting all her jumps back, but I still thought this was a far far dream...

rbpier, you are my hero for delivering this news!! OMG! so excited!!!

Man, let's celebrate!!!! What should MKF do?! Hm... this requires a new banner!! Oh gee.... okay, this girl is too excited for her own good!

Time for me to looking into getting tickets for 2010 Nationals. And now I really wish I had gotten those darn figure skating tickets for the Olympics!
