Good luck to Rachael on those tendons. It takes a while to heal, and she will have to decide to rest up whether or not she makes the GPF.
Michelle comes in 2 different parts. Before the Olys of 98 and after that Olys. She was not in good shape when skating in 98. However, she continued to skate without the necessary surgery until it got to her in 2006. Had she gotten the surgery back in 2002. I truly believe she would have regained her prowess and become the Oly champ in 2006. But that's hindsight.
Sasha had the best of everything to win the 2006 Olys but, to me, she was a head case. Very talented and always writing her acceptance speech before she was nominated. Sad, really.
Kristi, I am not sure about since I was just getting back to watching championships at the time. She seemed to me to be a Tech skater not unlike Slutskaya a few years later.
Olympia - Nice to read someone who has opinions on dancers off ice.
Skating for me borrows much more from Acrobatics than it does from Ballet because acrobatic dancers have always shown pointed toes, turned out knees, super flexibility. Cirque du Soleil is an acrobatic art form.
