blackcat, Yes, she should be very proud of silver and bronze.

Hi Dylan, She has had a wonderful career. Thanks!

So disappointing.

I'm glad you posted this. Last I heard she had not decided whether or not to skate.

Kwan is definitely my favorite, but it's almost like it was meant to be. She peaked at 16 or 17 and ever since has gone downhill -- technically, not artistically.

Still, 5 worlds and 9 nationals, as well as two Olympic medals, definitely make up a career to be extremely proud of!

I feel bad for her, but she wouldn't have won and she shouldn't have
petitioned to take someone else's spot.  She had her chance... silver and bronze are nothing to be upset about.

sad news

But I am glad to hear that Emily Hughes will get her chance.  I think it is well deserved, although I was looking forward to seeing Michelle Kwan

Thanks for the info

groin injuries are like "ouch!"  What a terrible time for it to happen, eh?
