[HD] Michelle Kwan - "East of Eden" 2000/2001 GPF - Round 1 Short Program ミシェル・クワン Мишель Кван 

Yes!!

I find it hard to think of Tara as a one hit wonder. She was an extremely talented skater who simply did not stick around because she moved on to other things after winning all the major events including the Nagano Olympics. But Michelle had a grace and style that none I have seen over the years could match. Her spirals are the stuff dreams are made of. She was truly unique.

Absolutely agree! There will NEVER be another Michelle Kwan…..she’s the G.O.A.T. !!!

Exactamundo, nailed it. Not just at the Olympics but at worlds too. Michelle should have had 7 World titles if the judging was fair dinkum and objective .

Me too. Now I am addicted to MK's performance.

@@robertmiller2633 Michelle still makes me happy to watch over and over.

But the musical phrasing was slightly off here. Even so, the judges underscored her.

Eileen stupid ! you are a fanatic! consult a psychiatrist! talk for you! if you missed your life it's your problem! we are much to excel in our lives except that we do not have a camera in our lives! I am surrounded by genius writers , people who have done Harvard, who have a high medical education, or who have prepared PhD in prestigious universities! we know what it means to elevate excellence to the rank of art! much more than doing spins or jumps on ice!

@@drissabderrhamane7948 I think Eileen was just commenting on Michelle Kwan amazing skating career.

Absolutely.

What is ironic about immigration?

I think they know she’s from the USA so she’s American in their eyes.

James Payne Woefully. She skated first so they had to "leave room." Truthfully I believe Slutskaya was going to be gifted this championship.

@@jjh2456 Did the judges really think Irina was going to deserve a 5.9 in presentation?

Many of them unfortunately did give her 5.9s for presentation in the later years. All gamesmanship.

CavePunk She was the first skater so they had to "leave room."

That Lutz was not well executed.

Leaving room for Irina...cough, cough.

It was first. Hence she was woefully underscored.

Nope, you're not alone. It was this season when she began this habit of taking things slow and looking out of shape at the beginning of the season and then be in insane shape in the latter portion for the Nats or Worlds or both (except for 2003 where she was pretty fit throughout the season). She said that the pain in her hip (which eventually led to an injury and a surgery) started after 2002, but I think this was when it really began as this was also the time she was pushing herself to do triple-triples to be able to compete with Irina; probably the reason why she took slow to get in shape for seasons in the latter part of her career. Unfortunately, they didn't notice it and nothing really came up in her medicals (probably because of the technological progress with diagnostic machines at the time as well), until she was already in severe pain and couldn't get on the ice anymore.
