In a different direction...
Is it just my imagination, or does Michelle seem totally at ease now with her retirement from competition? I think at first it must have rankled to see other skaters that "she knew she was better than" winning titles after she was forced out of the game by her deteriorating hip condition.
Now, she seems to be content to have a person like Yu-na to mentor and support, whom she respects as a person and as a skater. Michelle can ride off into the sunset with confidence that she is leaving figure skating in good hands after all.
