    Michelle kwan's " rachmaninoff " is the best SP in the figure skating history. 💯

    The one and only Michelle Kwan. I'm greatful that I was a figure skating fan during the 90's and early 00's. The sport has changed a lot since then and I just can't find it attractive. Michelle is one of my favorites and this Short Program is spectacular (like Peggy said).

    The Gold Standard program! After her stress fracture, she comes back from being off the ice and performs this awesome SP!!! I will always love her grace!

    6 years later, I'm still watching her performance. Its as if she's not even trying & she floats, freaking floats across the ice. Just gorgeous.

    Nobody, and I mean nobody can take their audience inside the arena and those watching around the world to a very special and magical place the way MK do. Thats what makes her special.

      Exactamundo, U thread it with a fine needle. Almost 20 years since she left the arena, I've yet to see a skater with her brand of special magic on ice. I absolutely miss her.

    Tara was so butt-hurt over what had happened that she even got defensive when she was questioned about her entry edges. She still doesn't admit to ever being a flutzer and she never calls out flutzing in her commentary, years later!!

    I just watched this again after many years. I had honestly forgotten she did the flip for the individual jump, and I'm SO impressed with her here. (By the Olympics, she had switched back to the toe loop playing it safe and setting a precedent for taking no chances at the Olympics.) An overall gorgeous performance.

    I love this program. Even better with the triple flip. The toe injury forced her to upgrade the triple toe to the flip jump and she landed it with such EASE. I really miss her and the command she has over the ice.

    Why should I or anyone listen to a hateful loser like you? I'd feel sorry for someone like you, but I don't. You're not going to ruin something this beautiful and wonderful for anyone. I don't have a lot of hate in my heart like you, You should just go.
