No accident that both years she wasn't perfect at Nationals she slayed at Worlds. She knew she didn't need to peak here. Still sad she couldn't switch her 2002 Nats and Olympic performances. That Nationals win would have won her the Olympics that year.
The dress is very nice & looks good on her. I think the dress should of been black instead of white since her long program is the song of the black swan.
I value the fact that Michelle didn't went straight-forward costumy, like when she played Carmen you didn't see any black lace and red fake roses on her hair!
OMG! Was Peggy Fleming on acid during this comments? She dared to question Michelle's skating qualities: "This could be better" (2:18) and "Oh, this also could be better" (3:27) . I live. xD!
When she was iceskating she must've felt very focus in her skating, I'm not like that XD I want to go fast and faster, but we know ice doesn't keep well with that XD
I think the word you perhaps meant to use was boxy which is that kind of boyish square athletic physique reminiscent of gymnasts that Michelle has but a little more scaled down.
