Instead, after her overwhelming skate two weeks ago at the 1998 U.S. Championships, Kwan is the firm choice for the gold medal in Nagano. "I had the performance of my life," she said at the championships in Philadelphia. "The key to pulling that off was to enjoy myself. I have a new perspective, just to have fun and enjoy myself. I love the experience I'm going through now." Kwan's wondrous performance in Philly she had 15 perfect scores, seven 6.0s in the short program and eight in the long erased any doubts she had after her failure at the U.S. Championships and the world championship last season.

    bid for Olympic gold and local
    ice skaters discuss her chances
    By Scott Vogel
    svogel@starbulletin.com
    WOULD someone please give Michelle Kwan a gold medal so she can get on with her life? The above thought, or words to that effect, has been rolling around in my brain for the last few months as I've anxiously awaited yet another season of sequins and smiles to commence. I'm talking, of course, about the national figure skating championships, which are going on this week, and specifically Kwan's attempt to defend her title for what I believe is the 73rd time. Actually, it's becoming difficult to imagine a time before Michelle Kwan skated, a lawless era let's call it B.M. when twirling pixies were expected to evince either grace or athleticism but not both, and in any case their careers could come to a crashing halt at any moment, thanks to Tonya Harding and her club-wielding henchmen. Since then we've thrilled, then enjoyed, then finally endured one perfect program after another from Michelle, marveling at the consistency of both her jumps and hair as the years progressed, the perfect triple lutz an apropos complement to the perfect bun. When Tara Lipinski edged Kwan for the gold medal in Nagano, it was as if the results were reversed. Lipinski leapt about like the child she was while Kwan, even in defeat, comported herself like a champion, all grace and dignity.

    SPRING 2002
    Why Michelle Really Won By Professor Kate Moncrief The e-mails started arriving the next morning. "Dr. Moncrief-What happened?! Why did Michelle Kwan get the bronze?" "Kate, what do you think of Sarah Hughes?" I first learned to skate on a pond during cold, Nebraska winters. As soon as the town would clear the snow and declare the ice safe, the pond would crowd with boys racing around with taped-up hockey sticks, whacking a puck from one end to the other, while the laughing girls twirled around each other, holding hands. Someone's dad would make a bonfire and we would crunch across pavement on our steel blades to warm our hands before hurtling back onto the ice. In my family, Christmas would reliably yield a new pair of skates for anyone whose feet had gotten too big for last year's pair; the basement held an assortment of outgrown sizes so there was always a pair that would fit a visiting cousin or friend without skates of her own. I remember a Christmas Eve when no one could wait to test the ice. We skated in the headlights of the family van while snow fell, sticking to our eyelashes and our mittens. We were intrepid then, skimming across ice, bumpy with sticks and leaves, quick-frozen in the surface. About the same time I was careening around the ice with my elementary school friends, I saw Dorothy Hamill, grinning in her red dress, win an Olympic gold medal. Soon after, all the girls in my class had her short, sassy hair cut. When my brownie troop saw the Ice Capades, we thrilled and giggled, imagining that Dorothy had waved at us alone.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Olympic Gold Medal Spotlights Were Aimed At Figure Skaters, Michelle Kwan and Elvis Stojko How These Athletes Prepared For the Olympics Jan. 20, 1997, Boulder, CO...Michelle Kwan's confidence has soared with her two recent wins at the Skate America and Skate Canada championships, despite her recent toe injury. Kwan and Elvis Stojko are finding they have a competitive advantage by working with a team of specialists that includes Helen James, Physical Therapist, Certified Advanced Rolfer and Professor Emerita of Physical Therapy at California State University Fresno. Olympic MD, Dr. Karlis Ullis, at the Sports Medicine and Anti-Aging Medical Group in Santa Monica, Ca., "Athletes always need help with chronic injuries, muscular strains and overuse. The Olympic athletes wouldn't have as many injuries if they had appropriate soft tissue therapy," says Dr. Ullis. "Rolfing is valuable for athletes in high level competition to address the build up of scar tissue and disarrangement of myofascial tissue that occurs from training, competition and injury." Dr. Ullis has provided medical expertise to athletes at five Olympic games, including Lillehammer, Albertville, and Barcelona, in the fields of figure skating, cross country skiing, bobsleigh, biathlon, track and field and other sports.

    Michelle Kwan wins fifth world title. : Y'all laughed at me when I said she's the Michael Jordan of figure skating, but she's one title away from six, a Jordanesque number. True, she fails at the Olympics, but what other skater is as driven by the love of competition as she is? Maybe she's more like the Ric Flair of figure skatinggetting jobbed out at big moments, but consistently awesome.
    posted by Justin Slotman to Olympics at 11:36 AM CST (9 comments total) This gets my vote for Most Ambitious Post of the Month. I can't believe you combined Figure Skating and Wrestling. Nice.
    posted by at 12:58 PM CST on March 31 I second that notion.
    posted by garfield at 2:19 PM CST on March 31 It's freaking unanimous ... now, we need to equate all other figure skaters to wrestlers!
    Tonya Harding = The Undertaker
    Sarah Hughes = XPac
    Brian Hamilton = The Big Show
    Brian Boitano = uhhh ... Brian Boitano.
    posted by wfrazerjr at 4:34 PM CST on March 31 The questions are: Will Kwan still be in top form in three years? Will other skaters have finally achieved the kind of consistency, athleticism and artistry that they need to beat her? And will she do something stupid like decide to go into an Olympic season without a coach again?

        U.S. champion skates on despite Olympic shortfalls
        By DAVID BARRON
        PORTLAND, ORE. - Once again, Michelle Kwan arrives at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships as America's Greatest Figure Skater Without an Olympic Gold Medal. ADVERTISEMENT And, once again, it really doesn't matter. Kwan is still poised to etch her name even more indelibly, if that's possible, into the sport's history with a victory this weekend. And she is preparing to do so with a program that ties her even more deeply into the things her public most adores about Michelle Kwan. If she wins her eighth straight ladies singles championship after performances Thursday and Saturday at the Rose Garden, Kwan will tie Maribel Vinson Owen with her record ninth championship, and she will set a record with her 12th nationals medal.
