I just found out Michelle Kwan withdrew from the Olympic Team.

I've been fan since she was placed on the Olympic Team at age 13 and was bumped off by Nancy Kerrigan.

... It's impossible to describe just how much I was hoping she would get her gold. She made me interested in a sport.

She'll be twenty-nine when the next Olympics rolls by. I don't think it'll be possible anymore.

This is so fucking tragic.

I remember being so upset when she only got the bronze in 2002. Though Hughes absolutely deserved the gold. Damn Tara Lipinski. :(

Yeah I heard she was injured. Poor dear. I was pulling for her too. Oh well. She'll always be the best to me, Gold Medal or not.

Btw thank you for the vitrual chocolates. You're such a sweetheart. *HUGS*

;_; That's sad news. She's a class act, and you're right, by 29 most athletes are past their prime, except maybe the cross-country skiers.

Well, it was kind of selfish for her to ask for a 'special favor' when she couldn't go to that competition awhile back. They are supposed to pick the top two, and while I think you are absolutely right...she deserves a million gold medals, I feel bad that she asked to go without competing. I hope she is okay, though. I would be devastated. She will be too old the next time around. T_T Very disheartening.
