what's really funny is that it's a really knowledgeable joke about Russian judges history of scores for Michelle.
I miss Michelle so much and it's only been a year since she's gone. ANd it really sucks for figure skating because the reason they don't show it on ABC anymore is because people watch for Michelle...
She did repopularize moves such as the charlotte, but I believe her greatest influence is in choregraphy. You can see the shadow of Michelle in Sasha Cohen to Kimmy Meissner.
I think he's very respectful of Michelle. Even a fan. I just think that as a fan, he probably gets frustrated with her and expecting her to always up the ante and win all the time, like we do...
God, who the hell cares how tall he is?! Focus on his rock-hard aass, people!!
On YouTube. Joubert works out in his underwear. I almost died. If you don't have a Youtube account, get one! It's become the most popular website since Myspace. You can see Michelle Kwan performances...
Then she should have taken a page out of the MK book and withdrew from the competition instead of trying to skate injured and damage an already fragile reputation.
Kimmie is a consistent skater. She doesn't seem like a girl who cracks.
To think! Michelle could have had both an Olympic AND a 6th gold medal! If only...
Sasha is heads and shoulders above this competition in pure skating. So this is extraordinarily baffling and so very sad. It must be the hardest thing on Earth being a Sasha fan.
What is WNY? NYC/LI doesn't grow many athletes so it's not a shock that Long Island and Newsday were all psychotic about Emily Hughes. But Kimmie is the real deal.
I do like her and I probably will be rooting for her as Michelle's successor, but only as a competitor. As an artist, her skating doesn't really do anything for me. I hope one day, it just clicks and...
I haven't seen Brokeback, but I hated Crash. I thought it was a critically lazy and shallow movie. Too contrived and none of the characters or situations rang true to me. It was like living in...
1) that today's skaters have surpassed Michelle
2) that artistry is no longer a factor in skating (Sasha Cohen proved that).
3) that a HEALTHY Emily Hughes could beat an INJURED Michelle Kwan.
Well now I feel bad. She doesn't deserve being put down. And she should be very happy with a silver medal, which was well earned. But I think she was way overhyped as the gold medal favorite. A clean...
I think of all the elite skaters of Irina's or Michelle's, Michelle and Irina have the most respect for each other as colleagues and friends. When they talk to each other, there is just this light...
Simple, Michelle Kwan is better than I am. I love Irina, but Sasha Cohen has dissed Michelle way too much for me to take.
It'll be good for her to take this year off. Make her envious and driven and come back next year with rejuvenated power like Irina did after her sickness.
I don't know about anyone retiring. I think Irina may, but Michelle pretty much set a precedent for skaters to skate well into their mid 20s.
If she can skate at the level of an elite at the age of 29, go for it. Maria Butyrskaya did!
Enjoy giving people payback. :D
Maybe I should search all those Newsday articles.:lol
where is the article that says Michelle is too old? If he indeed said that, then someone needs to write to him and call out his hypocracy. Sasha will be 24 years old then! A year younger than...
Today was a good day.
No. Maybe in other countries though.
