There's an awesome site that I've come across
that has 100's of skating programs in Real Video.
There are 15 of Michelle dating back to Salome in 1996.
Go to <a href=http://www.emote.org/eroom/
target=new>http://www.emote.org/eroom/</a> then click on
Ladies, then Michelle Kwan. You have to open up your Real
Player first, then go to Open Location, then paste the
url for the video itself. Enjoy!
I added photos to the movie premiere album. One
on the red carpet, one close-up, and one with
rumored boyfriend Brad Ference - hockey player for a
minor league team with the Florida Panthers. He's a
year older than Michelle, and he's from Canada. I
think he would've looked better in the pic if smiled
and wore an undershirt... but he's pretty cute!
I got this news emailed to me, and I thought it'd
be cool to share since this is supposed to be a big
movie this summer.<br><br>Michelle was quoted saying,
"What really moved me to tears was when the survivors
came out onstage" for the fireworks, U.S. figure
skater and Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan (news - web
sites) told Reuters at the post-premiere party.
"Everything seemed almost perfect."<br><br>She was probably
there because the movie is a Disney production, and
it's also interesting because Faith Hill was there too
to sing. I remember Michelle said a while back she
would skate to "Breathe" in one of her Olympic
programs, probably an exhibition though.
She skated to "This Time Around" in the gold
dress. You should check Heather Winfield's figure
skating tv schedule to find out when skating will be on:
<a href=http://www.heatherw.com/mk/sch.htm

and there's even a
printable version!
I am really pulling for Michelle to win the
Olympic gold too! She does deserve it.<br><br>I neglected
to check my TV schedule and I missed the FS
Challenge. What routine did Michelle skate?<br><br>Stefanie
She definitely deserves it! Another thing she
deserves is to be able to skate on the "Skates of Gold"
Special that is on every once in a blue moon - it would
break my heart if she couldn't count herself among
those greats. And yet, Kurt Browning never won Olympic
Gold, and look how well known he is today - certainly
more popular than some of the other male skaters who
have won a gold at the games! Michelle's style and
grace are "built to last".<br>( Can you tell I'm a
little bit obsessed about this? Sorry to ramble on, but
it's nice to talk to others who love Michelle's
skating! )
i am worried about her competitions too! I want
michelle to win olympics sooooooo badly! I hope she
acheives her dream! I mean she sure does deserve it! don't
you think? she's worked so hard! and some more world
competitions too lets hope!
It really was a very good show - the whole thing
was really good, but Michelle's routine was the
highlight for me! Maybe I'm just wacky, but is anyone
BESIDES ME already worried about next year's big
competition?
no i didn't get to see that, was it good? i hate when I miss watching skating.
If you go to www.heatherw.com she has a figure skating tv schedule thats really
good!
Did anyone see it on tv yesterday? Michelle got 4
6.0's for presentation, and she skated to "This Time
Around." I think this has to be one of Michelle's most
sophisicated, classiest programs. I don't think people give her
enough credit for skating to so many different styles of
music.
I just wanna say how much I love michelle kwan
and how I got to hug her! lucky me! lol <br>I also
want to see how many reply's I'll get back! You should
be a michelle kwan fan if you're here, so WRITE
BACK! <br>-c ya
Champions On Ice was shown on tv last night and
early today. Michelle skated to her new number, This
Time Around and wore a gold dress from the Worlds
exhibitions. I can't help but think about Nagano and Salt Lake
City after looking at the lyrics:<br><br>This time
around<br>I'll take the moment<br>This time around<br>I'll make
it last<br>I've had my share<br>Of wasted
moments<br>But this time around<br>I'm holding fast<br>This time
around<br>I will be stronger<br>Stronger than I've
been<br>Before<br>I'll find the sky and soar<br>This time around
<br><br>This time around<br>I will be daring<br>I'm going
where I've<br>Never been<br>This time around<br>Luck
will come knockin'<br>and when he does<br>i'll let him
in<br>This time around<br>no second places<br>I'm showing
aces<br>I'll win<br>I'm gonna have it all<br>This time around
<br><br>Love, I'm gonna find you<br>Happiness, I'm right behind
you<br>I've had my share of crying<br>But there's no
denying<br>I'm on my way <br><br>This time around<br>I'll taste
the glory<br>And I'm not going down<br>Without a
fight<br>This is my life<br>My own story<br>And this time
around<br>I'll get it right <br><br>This time around<br>I'm
gonna find it<br>Look out world<br>Watch me
shine,shine<br>I'm gonna grab that big brass ring<br>And I'm gonna
make it mine<br>This time around<br>I'm gonna make
it...<br>Mine!
<br>------------------------------------------------<br><br>Michelle competed at
the Great American Figure Skating
Challenge last night too. She was paired with Matt Savoie
and they won :) Results are here:

It's Sumi Jo and the album was "Only Love." Did
anyone watch exhibitions yesterday? I was so mad they
only showed the gold medal winners and Sarah Hughes on
ABC. I think ESPN will be broadcasting 2 hours worth
of exhibitions though later.

Click on the Ticket Information button and that
should give you the information you need. Tickets
originally went on sale last Fall. However, the SLOC has
another program going right now so you might still be
able to get tickets.<br><br>Tickets are pretty
expensive. I live in Utah and I won't be going to the Figure
Skating. Couldn't afford the hundreds of dollars they
wanted last fall with no guarantee of getting the
package I wanted. So, I'll be watching on TV.
