I remember that. She was all business that night. And still lost the SP.

Same with the FS. Very careful and methodical, almost mechanic the first three minutes, and then once all the jumps were done, classic Kwan returned.

The reason for the different facial expression durng "The Feeling Begins" was not about being all business actually, it was due to the mood of the program and it did not call for happy, joy feeling. I wanted to share a pic from 2003, but this was the only one I could find.

That pic was from 2004 Nationals. She did lose the SP to Sasha, after a messed up landing on the axle, but I felt she went on to blow the roof off the house in the LP with Tosca. Clearly the best of the night. At the 2003 Nationals, Dick made his comments about the smiral returning in the LP and about how her smile "extended to the eyes" while Sasha's did not.
