Michelle has always carried herself with such authenticity and grace. She is truly an inspiration.

I SO wanted Michelle to win the GOLD!! She still gets emotional when speaking about the sport she loves.

@desireeishope 3 жыл бұрын

She may not have won an Olympic Gold. She was more than a medal . She is by far one of the most honorable, lives with integrity, humility, and her honor and grace that is what she is inside. She taught us that with hard work, the sky is the limit. Tara Lipinski will never have the scruples that Michelle Kwan has as a person day by day. She lives her honor, truth, resilience and her heart is her greatest asset.

@@desireeishope BINGO, MK never needed that medal, her legacy is secured, but please stop all the Tara hate, Tara skated out of her skin in Nagano and was a ferocious competitor for Michelle. When they competed against each other, they elevated the sports to new heights during the last Golden age of Figure Skating.

So interesting; Michelle was so honest with her skating and brought us so far into her world, into her being, that when she didn't win gold, it hurt. To this day, I STILL HURT, and I'm not even Michelle Kwan. That's how much her skating touched me. From her Salome program onward, she revolutionized what it meant to be an "artistic" figure skater. And who could forget those pressure-filled moments where she had to deliver; and she did! When I used to have big days coming up as a journalist (election coverage, etc.) I had to be "on." So, I watched Michelle Kwan performances the night before, hoping her nerves of steel would rub off onto me through the screen. She was a motivating force then, and even more so today. We love you Michelle!!!!!!!

I was sad when she wasn't able to achieve a gold medal during her Olympics...but when I reflect and look back...it doesn't really matter in that she inspired so many people on and off the ice. Plus a silver and bronze medal are impeccable achievements...and she would have probably medaled in 06 if she didn't have to withdraw because of an injury. I don't think many people realize how good Kwan was. It is nice to see her now and reflect on all that her family sacrificed for her to live her dream. Much love to you, Michelle! :)

I don't think I really grew up looking for an Asian American role model... but if it were anyone, it was Michelle Kwan in the 1998 Olympics. It was the first time I saw a person that was both Asian and American, performing, competing in the very top tier of their specialization. She was one of the OGs in Asian American representation.

@paulg6527 4 жыл бұрын

Michelle Kwan was figure skating when I was growing up. She was skilled, masterful, the artistry she brought to the sport and she was a champion, celebrated and that was great to see as an asian american.

@30251 6 жыл бұрын

it's TARA not Sara. And while nobody will deny Michelle is a far superior skater, who has impacted figure skating much much more, Michelle did not deserve the gold that day.

@tcgarrido2 6 жыл бұрын

On that day, the competition was fierce. Michelle skated first, she was VERY NERVOUS, made mistakes, she had so much to lose. Tara had nothing to lose, young, not the favorite, underdog, not expected to win, but she skated and enjoyed the moment. It was a good day for her and a disaster for Michelle. I felt so bad for Michelle, I felt the Gold was snatched out of her by Tara. Tara never make a name for herself. Michelle is still love by the figure skating fan.
